I just went into the Sprint store, to pick up my fourth Vogue, because of the dark spots, and I told them there was no point in having it looked at by a tech, because this is a well-known problem. He was a bit concerned that I was on my fourth phone, and offered me any other phone I wanted. I told him I really wanted the Vogue, just one that had a working screen.

His supervisor said to just give me (another) new one. He pulled three boxes out of the cabinet, in case it took that many to get a good screen.

Well, the first one he pulled out was perfect. He could tell instantly, just by looking at the HTC splash screen.

Three other employees, and a manager, all came over to see the difference, as they had never seen it in person, (the comparison.)

It was night-and-day. They couldn't believe I was remotely happy with my old one, especially with the dark spots.

The new screen is amazing:
-Perfectly viewable in daylight. Only slightly diminished in DIRECT BRIGHT sunlight... That's something my old one couldn't even come close to.
-Screen feels more solid. Doesn't "squish" nearly as much.
-No "rainbow" effect when I push the screen, (at all.)
-Colors are incredibly vibrant. I would compare to the iPhone. No kidding.
-VIEWING ANGLE! - I can see it from all angles, just like I'm looking at my plasma TV... Amazing...

This is a day of days.

So to those of you who have the crappy screen, go in, and see if you can get your hands on a NEW vogue.

This one was manufactured on 1/23/2008, if that can help with referencing this problem.

Wow, I can't get over how great the screen looks. I really had no idea how crappy my old one is.

Hate to burst the bubble. Dude, you just got lucky. My current one was made in Feb 2008, still has "waterwave" and limited viewing angle.
