I had 3 replacements w/o HTC on it and I got one that said HTC. They felt the same to me, but obviously I kept the one that said HTC :P
I did read that someone's refurbed back panel was peeling although I've never had a problem.

anyone have any info on this?
My original (purchased on release day) had a matte finish and out of the 4 refurbished phones I had, only 1 had the shiny keyboard... i hated that one.

BTW, my refurbishment date is 8/20 and the phone had 2 minutes of calls. Do you have the squeaky back cover or a yellow tinted screen on your refurbed unit? Both things are bothering me, but idk if they'll replace a phone for that.
