Iphone 3GS touch screen broken

[champ01]

Ok so this morning somebody called me on my Iphone and as I wanted to pick up I couldn't control the slider anymore
After sliding over and over again it finally worked but after that the top and bottom stopped working
Now I have to wait 2 weeks for a new one because there all sold out

Anybody else having these problems with there new Iphone 3GS?

(mine is a 32GB white version)

Well, you're more patient than I, because I'd be telling/asking them to have one shipped from a different region. All the regions aren't sold out, and you have an unusable phone (I'm assuming; haven't watched the video). They could easily get one sent from a different store within a couple of days.

Same here

Got a new one at the Genius Bar for a touch screen issue as well. I tried restoring it 4 times and the screen kept freezing during calls etc..they replaced it apologized for the faulty phone.

The left side of my moms white 16GB 3GS went out.

They swapped it out next day.

Glad to hear it. Let's hope your new one is trouble-free.

BTW, I have a 32GB white as well.

They didnt have to replace my phone, the connector that connects the digitizer was faulty so they replaced that and I was good to go
