Well fellows, nobody here denied your effort or good willings for all the touch users. The point here is not to ask people to drive to all local sprint stores and ask them to take their entire stock, unseal it and let you check the screen. As I stated, I've gone through 5 or more touch phones, and did the same thing as you are doing now. A sprint rep even take a brand new phone out to let me check (a bad screen with waterwave), but do I want to check the entire stock? hell yes. Are they gonna let me do it? Hell no. The point here is to find a way to identify the good from bad without actually opening a new package. If we can tell from the numbers listed on the package, or at least the manufacture date, we then have some solid standard to do this. Otherwise, your entire effort will do no more than getting yourself a good screen and win this gamble (maybe in your next trip, maybe never), but for the rest of us who might care more about the cost (time/money/energy) to get the "good" screen, not much helpful.

Nobody here is denying that there's a good screen and bad screen. (I haven't seen it from Sprint however), but the point is whether we can find some solid proof for HTC and Sprint, so that they can fix it for us; or whether we can get some solid hints to identify a good one (so far I can't get a clue). Going into store, asking them to bring entire stock and open everyone for you, a single customer, will never happen in real life I think.
