Mike,

Not necessarily.  Only those with a flashable ROM will have a serial number.  I
believe there are still many units being marketed where this is not the case
(not to mention lots of units still in the field where this is true).

>Is there a better choice than serial number that is guaranteed to be 
>unique and available on all devices?  

I don't think there is anything guaranteed to be unique and available on all
devices.  I've heard the serial number, when available, isn't even guaranteed to
be unique though it is certainly more unique than the Hot Sync name.
