Well, I've had my phone a few months now and I've babied it and kept it in my SwitchEasy Colours almost always. But, I took it out of the case today to give it a quick dust as usual, and noticed on part of the chrome it's going... Well, strange.

It's hard to describe, it's not like a scratch, but as if some sort of acid has been on it? It looks like it spreading, but I'm not sure what the cause is, or if it's another fault with the 3G.

Has anyone else experienced this? Sorry for lack of pictures, I'll try get one up ASAP.

Thanks :eek:

Edit: Nope! Just me then :p
