Flickering screen issue plaguing some Droid X units, how about yours?

Expensive phones always seem to have at least one issue that stands out at launch. For the Droid X, it seems to be a flickering screen issue when you bring it out of sleep... Check out these two videos to get an idea of what I'm talking about then answer the poll question if you have/had this issue with your Droid X.

hopefully it's one of those things you either have out of the box or u don't... Would hate to hear about failures down the road. If it's osmething that happens out of the box then that's cool cuz u can just return it right away.

Re: Flickering screen issue plaguing some Droid X units, how about yours?

I had mine for about 8 hours and then the bottom portion got a blank line that went across the screen right above the launcher arrow. That area of the screen would flicker as I tried to use it. I called and ordered a replacement as soon as I saw that (a similar thing happened to my first Touch Pro) Funny thing is about 4 hours later as I was charging the phone the screen went back to normal as stayed that way since. Nothing as bad as those videos but still a problem. I should've taken a picture....

Re: Flickering screen issue plaguing some Droid X units, how about yours?

Mine developed a half-inch strip of banding at the bottom of phone, about 24 hours after I got it. VZW announced yesterday (?) that these screen problems affect 1 in 1,000 phones, so I guess I'm that lucky. Waiting for replacement.

I bought a TP2 last november, had that phone and 2 replacement phones die before I got the DX. So that's 4 bad phones in about 9 months. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that glowing green rock I found in my back yard . . .
