When I told the sales people what I was talking about all of them looked at me like I was a problem customer until I brought one from a mall store to the Verizon store and they were amazed at the difference. All he had to say was "Wow, I'm glad I got the Mogul instead of the Touch."

When I asked him if he could help me now that he's seen the difference he told me that since I have had so many replacements all he could do was some sort of "opt out" and that I could get another phone for the price it would be if I got it with a new contract.

So now my plan is to just wait it out until the Diamond comes out, sell my touch and buy the Diamond. It just really pisses me off that this phone could be a really great phone if they just made it right.
I cant even make the Sprint tech believe me theres 2 screens! I told them about the Verizon one and how theres a Sprint Touch with the same screen quality of it too but they say "No such thing" but to bring in the good Sprint Touch with the good screen so they see it in person.

Hey Negrito, go to your local Sprint Store and see the DEMO Touch. Most likely its the bad screen Touch. then compare it to yours and see how crappy. That is if you have the good screen.

100% agree with you. Thats one reason it really ticks me off when some ppl here say to suck it up and live with it and don't say nothing and quit bothering the stores. I would love to order Sprint tv but only way I would watch tv on this phone is in landscape view. But we all know how that looks with this terrible screen. One eye sees a darker shade than the other. Very annoying and nausiating.

Unless HTC is fully aware of this and willing to make a change, all you can do is keeping driving around and bet on next store. And I really do not think it's worth the effort.
Again... gas is not a issue and I find it hard to believe that some ppl find it hard to distinguish the good from the bad screen. Its as clear as daylight.I think they have never seen a comparison in person like all of us complaining.

Please do so. Stop by and see their Touch. You will be pissed off afterwards thou. Then post you finding here and let us know your opinion.
