By now this has to my my 4th TP with in a period of about 7 months.
I exchanged them for various reasons but the oily smudge was apperant on at least 3 of them including the one I use now. I dont want to fight with them anymore since the last one I exchanged they said it would be for free and a month later they dinged me 100.00 Dollars deductible
I really think we have to live with this becuase they will not replace them for free. the only way is to go with your insurance and get dinged for 100.00 dollars deductible just to have this problem repeat it self.
At least it does not affect the operaion of the touch screen what so ever.
the only thing is that I have had it with this phone and am moving to the Palm Pre . I will put it for sale on eBAY and be HAPPY!!!
Good luck to all of you !!
