update...just like someone else on this forum i noticed that i only can see the iridescence under fluorescent light. that is why i never noticed it from the beginning. i only use incandescent light at home but when i came to school that's when i noticed it. all this time i had thought it occurred this morning when i probably received it with that defect.

i have been hounding this seller and i feel bad for her i keep sending her an email everyday for the past 2-3 days updating her of the product and whether i will keep it or not.

i'm not so sure about that. i see mines are random times, but i'm sure i've seen mines at home, where there are no fluorescent lights...

No matter the lighting, if you see "rainbow" colors on the screen, in any pattern, your screen is defective.

I never once saw that effect, and I had it under nearly every lighting possible.

Typically this happens from abuse, but it is also known to happen for no reason...

So is this happening to many other people?

Noticed a small spot on the middle, bottom of my screen that looked like described in this thread. I tried to wipe it off and it wouldn't go away.

Dammit....I love everything else about this phone. I hate to get a new one! Did the folks in this thread all get their pros replaced over this?
Will it probably get worse?

Bought mine 01-07-2009 at Best Buy with a build date of 12-17-2008.

Has anyone been able to replace their phone with this issue w/o dealing with insurance?

Update...the rainbow color, at least on my screen, seems to be just air, or something...I have had the rainbow color for months, and finally took the screen protector off, and there was no rainbow color on my screen. Put the protector back on the rainbow color comes back. Not sure what exactly it is, but, it's not the screen, it's the protector.

If you hold the protector up to the light, can you see a smudge of oil?
