Yeah, just wondering; b/c it seemed that many of my friends with White 3GS were having that yellow screen issue. Thanks.....
1.
it had: uneven glass, bubbles under the glass, home button didn't click down, cracks around dock/earphone jack/silent switch and light leak out the sides.
I only got it replaced because the warranty was about to end.

Once had my 3g replace on the first day of getting it after getting home and finding the mute switch did not work.
One - Phone (with nothing on it, but stock apps) would lock up, turn itself off, and stop working during minimal tasks.
Two - Replacment had about 5 dead pixels at the bottom. I paid 500 for the phone, I wanted it perfect
Three - That replacment had a small crack in the screen, which started to spiderweb. I took this back, and they replaced the screen for free. Calls were constantly dropped and the blutooth/wifi would not work.
Took it back, turns out the guy didn't connect the wires back in the right places, and some of them were fried.
Four - So far so good 🙂
My 2G lasted 1.5 years without a replacement though.

3G: 3 replacements
- bad battery
- display cable came loose
- can't remember what happened the third time

Once, an hour after I bought it because they gave me a broken one to begin with. The spring mechanism in the SIM card slot was broken meaning I couldnt get my SIM card inside.
See my other thread - I'm going to contact O2 about my 3rd phone tomorrow. I wouldn't say I'm worried about rattling silent switches and stuff like that but I would like a phone that works!

dumped in tea and survived!!! and was replaced
My tea tipped over in the car and filled the cup holder. My iPhone was in the adjoining cup holder. I realized it 15min later since I was driving at night. It would keep restarting over and over again. After draining 3 saturated tissues and letting it dry for a day over my floor vent, it amazingly worked other than the camera! Took it to rogers and they replaced it due to a faulty camera. I own a crispy new 3G iPhone, yea!
