I bought it from Best Buy...

I have noticed a couple of things... but I just never returned the phone....

A) There is a weird, square rainbow discoloration on the screen, that is visible, at an angle, when you turn the phone off. It is about an inch in diameter and shaped like a square. It will not come off, no matter how much I wipe the screen with a micro-fibre cloth.

B) The home button has a slight crack between it and the bottom of the display, and thus the corner comes up higher on the edge.


I have spoken to 3 different reps with Sprint, and they have said that all I have to do, is to walk into my nearest sprint store and get the phone replaced through manufacturer warranty. But that is not the case, when I walked into the Sprint store, down the street from my office. Now, to be fair, when I showed them the phone, the Store Rep was like "well, they are not going to replace it because of a cosmetic issue", and that was in regards to the raised Home button issue. I had forgotten to show her the discoloration on the Display...


Do I need to return the phone to Best Buy? Or should I be able to successfully argue my case with one of the Sprint Store reps?


Some more facts...

MEID (Hex) is A10000078020DF
Build Date is October 13th
Original Activiation is October 25th

BB will send it out for repair. You will then have to wait for it and get a loaner phone until you get a new one.

If your phone works, I would keep it, if you really don't want it, and you have insurance, you can figure the rest of this sentence out I am sure.
