Turn on some porn and put the turtle in front of the TV. If it watches, intently, it is a boy. If that is unequivocal, you might consider looking for external genitalia.

If the underside is concaved it is a male if it protrudes out it is a female, if the nails are longer it is a male if they are shorter it is a female

Depends on the type of turtle. Most male water turtles (red eared sliders, painted turtles, river cooters, ect.) have much longer nails on their front feet: These nails are waved into the face of a female as part of their mating ritual. females who continue leaving dispite continued attempts are usually left alone in favor of females who DO respond. Males also have relatively long, thick, tails. The extra length aids in allowing the male to successfully wrap his tail around the female's for copulation.

Land turtles (box turtles, and many of the tortoise species) tend to have roughly equal tails and nails -- but males have a slope on their undershells, as if their entire underside is a gaint spoon. This slope ensures easier mating with females, which are mounted from behind.
