Buy 3GS now or hold off until issues are fixed?

3 perfect 3GS' here. Girlfriend, friend and I have nothing to complain about.
I'd suggest taking the plunge. You certainly won't regret it. Unless of course your service sucks and you didn't know because you didn't look into it before buying.
Just sayin'.

Some people have had issues with yellow hued whites and overly warm colors on the screen. Other complaints are that during heavy use the White units appear to overheat by showing brown markings on the back case.
Mine has yellow screen and my bezel overlaps on the right side of the backing. Never bothered me until today when I saw someone else's 3GS and had perfect bezel and no yellow what so ever on his screen. Im going to exchange it out. Would I have if I hadn't saw his? Probably not. Get one, you'll love it!
I am having issues with the touchscreen. Sometimes it will not work and seem like it's frozen, though it's not. The home button still works and the phone still runs. I've taken the phone to the Apple Store two times. Once where they found no test issues and restored the phone, the other where the Genius stated there is a known problem with the touchscreen cable. Apparently, this cable is soldered by hand and some are not being soldered correctly. Apparently, he opened the phone in their shop and confirmed it was loose. Ye properly seated the cable, gave me a work order, and says that if it happens again to come back and they will give me a new one. It happened again!
