Does anyone else have a crack in the chrome?

I fail to see how the bezel cracking is a chrome issue.

its not, the point was there are issues with that particular part out of the box (see other threads on the issue) already so its not surprising it cracked first thing.

I dropped mine on pavement and it landed on the back corner, dented the metal chrome on the back then it fell forward and chipped the plastic chrome on all 4 front corners! I could have swapped it out, but I had a 100% working phone and I didnt want to risk swaping it and getting a bad one so I lived with it.
I went out and got a silver sharpie and filled in the black scratches and it looked GOOD. Unfotunatly the marker eventually rubbed off. I am considering trying a silver nail polish, but I dont know if I want to go shopping for nail polish to match my phone. As a guy, that may be a little weird.

Dropping a phone can damage it. The nicer the phone the worse a little damage looks. Not news here.

These non-issues aren't as big a deal as the charging issue, for example.

I also droped mine from like maybe 2 1/2 feet and it broke the chrome all the way thru, from the front to back on the side, its still holding up but it worries me because as mentioned I know phones are not made for bieng droped but my 6800 fell many times and nothing more than a scratch or nick and this thing 1 drop and its busted up...

Silver sharpie huh, I need to invest in 1 of these. I tried to swap my phone out because my touchscreen keyboard isnt workin. But dude at BB wouldnt swap it cause of the dent from the drop.........WHAT A JERK

Same here wi th my 6700, it survived some nasty falls. But the same thing that helps it survive those is the same thing that makes it larger and uglier ... that chunky grey plastic.

i guess i could turn it in on insurance and just get a new one.

I was starting to wonder about this....I had some recent issues with my phone (wasn't related to this) but I brought up the typical issues like heat, battery and other stuff to one of the Sprint retention people and they said that there were no issues with battery or heat (weird I know) but that the cracking of the chrome bezel is a known issue and that there will be an update coming with no ETA. I have yet to drop my phone so it's not a concern for me but Sprint is aware of it so it seems.
