So, i just got my iphone 4 like 15 minutes ago. I am syncing it now, but just noticed a yellow tint on a line on the bottom.

I know some people said it went away and was just because of the screen 'curing'. Did yours go away?
 
Mines gone now.

did you have a band of spots?

Mine looks almost identical to this guy's

Thank God. Did it look similar to the image i posted above?

It looked identical to yours. I just used my phone as I normally would and on day 2 it appeared as a yellow spot in the lower right corner. On day 3, there is no yellow at all.

Give it some time and just enjoy your new phone. If it doesn't go away in a week, I would just return it to Apple and get another one.
 
I received my phone on Wednesday and it had the yellow band going across the bottom of the screen. After 3 days of extensive use, it hasn't gotten any better. I'm waiting on a replacement from AT&T premier.
 
I had a continuous yellow line almost completely up the left side of my screen that did not (or had not) gone away. It was one of the first things I noticed when I received my phone on Wednesday. I scheduled a Genius appt for today and they took one look at it and immediately went into the back and brought out a brand new one in the original packaging and swapped it out for me. Not one question was asked. The new phone has zero yellow lines, blotches, etc.
 
same here.

they were really polite and i was out of there in a few minutes with a new unit. No problems whatsoever.
