Really its just the luck of the draw. I've read thru the whole thread and seen people with Pro Dates of 10/13 having no issues whatsoever and others with that date having issues, then seeing Pro Dates of 11/7 with lots of issues and some with none. Just because you exchange for a newer build date doesn't exactly guarantee you a better device. In my personal opinion, I don't think you'll really see a big change in these phones until you start getting ones with build dates of February/March of '09 and beyond. So those who are exchanging their phones just to get a better build date... I don't want to say are wasting their time... but it's really not worth the trouble most have to go thru to do it unless it is a MAJOR problem.
