You could probably ask the guy who found the phone in his 'showroom' how to....oh yeah, he didn't answer that phone!!!

If it's a Nokia, then take off the battery at the back, and it will have the model number.

Also, don't take off the battery, if you suspect it has a PIN code, because otherwise, when you turn the phone back on, you will not be able to access anything, unless you have the PIN code, and the phone will get blocked after three tries.

You could always just call them up first, and find out who it is, and then check the model number.

except the area code of the phone number is 808

808 is returned as an area code located in Hawaii

Most menus will have an option to determine the phone settings. The number may be show there.

Under the settings menu, there should be some option that says something to the effect of Own number or number selection.

Just dig through the menus.

Or call a phone with callerID.

Call 611 to be connected to T-Mobile customer service, who should have enough info to get in touch with the owner.
