  Nathan,

The docs say that getDeviceId is the IMEI for GSM or its equivalent for
CDMA devices.

Glad it works for you, but I have two issues with this:

1 - It requires a special permission, for no good reason from users'
point of view (unless the app already needs this).

2 - There might be devices that don't return the IMEI correctly, just
like the DROID 2 doesn't generate the ANDROID_ID correctly.

Note that using the right IMEI value in the low-level cellular radio
code (so phone calls work) and returning it all the way to application
layer are two different things, at least it would seem that way.
