Please mention if any of them have the 'short battery run-time' problem.
The particular one that you mentioned (PW2 4GB) is still officially unregistered by Amazon, but has had a fake register hack applied so that collections could be set up manually... it also eliminated the "you must register now" nag message on the home screen...


None of these have any known "short battery run-time issue"... these are all still on 5.6.5, and I don't recall complaints about the battery time on 5.6.5

edit: The "crypto sum" of the mfg code is a great idea... no way to reverse to find the device serial number, e.g.


(I have another PW2 2GB on 5.7.2.1 that is being tested for "battery run time". It was registered with Amazon today after running in unregistered sleep mode approx 42 hrs with no apparent "drop" in the battery meter. Now it is running in registered sleep mode to see if there is any change
