hold on there now. mine has a manufacture date of 1/15/09 and it has a slightly raised front pad (about 1 mm higher off the home key side, sits pretty flush on the opposite side). there is a small blemish on my screen on the bottotom, slightly off center to the right side where it looks like its suffers a littlebit of light bleeding there. the keyboard isnt evenly lit. sliding mechanism stuggles a little(sounds like scraping). phone reacts pretty slow, feels slower than my apache (which is a major dissapointment).

also, when i was puting in the battery, i noticed that both water stickers (the battery and the phone) are white, with red lines going through. does this mean the phone was water damaged? i just got it today, and ill be pissed if asurion sent me a bum phone. I really dont want to go refurb

I guess i shouldnt be complaining though, for losing a 4 yearold ppc, 50 bucks isnt bad for the better screen

ps: no, it isnt a refurb.

no, that is the new indicator. no more bleach trick. I can't say for sure, but likey all red/pink or maybe blue will indicate water damage.

1/10/09 build date and no issues. Batt is what I expect with this phone, gets warm after tethering for a couple hours, but not hot.

Just got another TP.

1/16/09 and it is superior to my old tp in almost every single way.

There is NO difference between pressing the center of the display vs the corners.

However, the bottom portion of phone (the D pad) is slightly raised more on the left. Build quailty seems to have improved, the lights around the D pad have a more blueish tint to them and the LCD isn't yellowish

did they give you a new one? from the store, or was it a refurb?

Also, is your entire screen evenly lit? mine has a small light spot on the bottom part of the screen a little to the right. you can see it when the screen is all black, otherwise, its hard to tell it was there. Seems like your issues are similar to mine, I'm wondering if 1/15 & 1/16 were produced in the same plant

Brand new, and i've just soft-reset to test your issue out and it appears as though i can see the light behind the lcd pretty clearly on the right side, but ONLY if i angle it that way. otherwise looking at it straight on i can't see any defects!
