    Finally Got the Iphone yesterday after preordering......
    Seems good though in the first impression...
    Suddenly started seeing the *yellow spot* and got more annoyed of it...It seriously makes u irritated when u are using the phone....And whats more.....It will start to expand the amt of yellowishness little more when u start pressing the screen a little while!!!Then back to its own area if u release the pressure.....
    Had the phone swing in some tunes for an hour...n ouch!!!! It was literally boiling hot!!!!!
    Now its back to the stores again and hv ordered for replacement!!!..
    Pretty bad first experience for an apple user!!! I didn even get a taste of iphone 3G or 3GS yet wanted to buy a iphone 4...U know what???Yup I got into trouble!!!! :'(

            I think the best all of american can do is sell their AAPL share if they own it.

            good luck....

                    Found this.

                    "We are still seeing some mentions of the spots sticking around, fading in and out based on the heat of the phone, but we'll give it another day or two to really see how much of a problem is going to be. Let us know how yours fares."

                    Does look like apples PR team are hot on the case! LOL!

                        are you telling me that you own a time machine???

                        advice from me.
                        don't buy those iphone4.
                        wait for 3 months or 4 months until FDA said there were no poisonous apple anymore.

                              Wow, this phone has many flaws. The glass shattered when dropped. That phone is just sucks. I wouldn't buy it. I'm going to get me the Samsung Beam phone for sure.

                                  Hi,
                                  I am due to upgrade my phone next month and thinking about getting the iphone 4.
                                  My problem is my boyfriend uses my bank details for his istore account on the 3gs but I want to set up a new account with the same debit details. Is this possible?
                                  many thanks.
                                  Mandy xxx
