i dont know if it was missing it but it was confirmed the telus and sprint origional shipped units were.... they revised the design after so many users were complaining of head and battery issues.

im hoping this new hardware rev has the heatshild but cant know unless i open itand im not going to.

so if it was confirmed that they were missing the heatshield why didnt they do a recall? (i know obviously why, but i mean, it could potentially damage some expensive stuff)

My Sprint has a date of 17/07/08 and a rev of FA00.
I wonder if I should go for a replacement based on this(?).

I also just got a REV: FA00.

I just did a Asurion replacement and immediately noticed that the "new" one I received had a yellowish tint on the LCD. Other than that it does not get warm like my other one. (maybe b/c of new battery?) Im not sure what my previous ones REV was, but I 100% guaranty that the new has a tint. I compared both with max brightness on, laying right next to each other.

One of my employees just left my house after dropping off a cicso iad router. He has one of the new revision phones. He wouldnt let me open it but I can tell the folowing.

My diamond has some strange things and ive heared others as well like light bleeding and the display poping up on the lower left hand corner. And the front buttons poping up in corners. The new revision is smooth and quite dont creek at all like mine does.

I started a data session and let the screen stay lit and dont even get warm at all. Of course mine dont either after using the verizon radio rom. I used an envolope scale and weighd both phones the revised phone was heavier but .003 grams. Heatsheild installed? perhaps. I did notice that under the batt cover looked the same on both diamonds so perhaps something added inside? would be nice to take one apart and see. Im going to try get mine exchanged and ill open it.
