At the risk of being called a "whiner", the real great news would be HTC/Sprint inviting me in to simply fix the screen on my otherwise perfect phone. I love this phone, voted "yes" in the best phone ever poll, but that's the problem, I don't want to give up *this* phone for a replacement which may have other issues and that I'd have to set up all over again. Plus, I think I am developing an emotional attachment to the perfectness of this phone (stopping just short of iPhone fanboyism), which makes the slight imperfections worse.
I'm pretty sure a patch won't fix the screen lift/light leak, which is more than cosmetic with reports of dust getting under the screen, only a matter of time for moisture to get in there and mess something up.
