"If he hasn't used it since January, how did he discover it wasn't working correctly?"
One can power up a device, to see if it's working, without actually using it.
And still that would result in all the data/email/messages syncing to the apps in the mobile. Just powering up -- fires up a whole bunch of background activity without one "actually using it".
Sure, but the issue in this subthread is whether he lied in saying that he hadn't "used" it since January.
