Well, BestBuy was willing to trade it in.. But they were out and wern't sure when they would get the next shipment. Since the closest BB is an hour away I decided to just claim it on insurance. I went to the Sprint repair shop. They saw it and said they would order a new one for me but if that was the only problem I had I should keep it because they had people send in with much worse problems...


I had them order me a new one any way. I'll be damned if I pay this muc for a phone and have a defect like this on it...

Today i look at my screen and notice a rainbow smudge, it looks like when you mix oil and water together. The problem is that i thought the rainbow smudge was on the cover. So, i took it off and found out it's on the screen. I tried washing it off but it won't come off. Anyway else have experience this? Plus i see a nik on my phone. The chrome is coming off....... WTF..:protest:


So, i called sprint, pretty much said no! you have to go to best buy! I went to best buy and explained that HTC is having a recall and i could only exchange it from best buy. Representative said yes. It has almost been two months since i bought it. THE BEST PART I GOT A PRICE MATCH WHICH IS AROUND 50 dollars. Price 199.00.

:):drunken::evil4::headbang:


I noticed that smudge on my old Touch right before I sold it. I, too, thought it was on the screen cover, so I removed the cover and there it was.. I think the cover may have CAUSED it....

You can do it at Sprint. I got mine replaced just fine, and not once did they ask me where I bought my phone.

The replacement I got last week isn't a new revision. It did have a super messed up screen though see here.

I'm waiting for another replacement at this point.

I just looked at your picture of the screen and man that doesn't look right at all. I'm not sure if it was the camera or your phone. I suggest you to return it immediately.




Plus, since you just got a replacement, is your battery life gotten better and does it still over heat while charging.

I have notice i can last a day easily ( have not install s2u2 and configured email.), plus, my phone doesn't get extremely hot while i am charging matter a fact it doesn't get hot at all.


Edit: O yeah.. thanks for the touch pro essential thread it help out allot!

I'll be taking a ride to my sprint store to show them the rainbow in person. If they are willing to exchange mine for a brand new unit, I'll take it. If they will exchange it for a refurb, then I think I'll just keep mine, rainbow and all. Everything else on my TP is perfect and I don't want to risk getting something worse. The rainbow is only visible under florescent lighting and only when the unit if off. When its on, I don't notice it with either a dark or light screen so I can live with it. I will take a new one if offered though. I'll post back.

Bingo, this happend on a few people's Touchs as well. My friend is carrying around his PPC6700 which has a 'splotch' the size of three thumbs, directly in the middle of his screen. I can't bare to look at his phone, but he doesn't mind.
