Re: Screen May Be Coming Off

Count me in amongst the EVOwned. Lifting up left bottom corner of screen and leaking light.

I got mine from Radio Shack on launch day, and it has been well cared for - no drops/shocks/water/abuse (not even a single nick in the plastic).

Sprint store says about what you'd expect them to say - "That sucks, sorry. There are 56 people on the waiting list ahead of you." Radio Shack says they would be happy to swap it out, if and when they get any more in.

Thankfully, there's the 30 day thing, and as a brand new customer there's not much of a loss for me other than my time.

Hopefully I'll be able to secure one of the small percentage of devices that seem to be okay before my 30 days is up. Or maybe HTC and/or Sprint will step up and provide some solid encouragement on this, though I'm not holding my breath. If not, I'll wait a few months for HTC to quietly fix the issue (as they tend to do) and try it again.

Still, it's incredibly disappointing. I really like this phone. It has so much potential for awesomeness. It looks nice, it runs very well, and I can deal with it's other little quirks... but an unsealed/loose glass is a deal-breaker to just about anyone with a clue.

Edit: Hardware version 0002
