You guys should probably remove the Imei from the pictures..
Could you please explain to me why do you think there's some problem with telling people what is the IMEI of your device?

It's also possible to, change the IMEI of a stolen device to the one of a not stolen device, thus making the stolen device easier to sell online.

Here in Germany no single provider cares about IMEI and you trying to lock / get it back

The mention of hiding IMEI reminded me about those dozens of threads regarding signing applications for Symbian.
Multi-page threads full of IMEIs all around the world.

In hindsight this might`ve also been a risky move...
