on my 3g iphone wihen i shake it up and down 9along the iphones long axis) i hear a mass oscillate. my ipod touch does not exhibit same behavior so i dont think its the accelerometer

is this a common thing or a defect?

thanks
 
Mine sort of clicks when I shake it. I went to the voice memos app and recorded me shaking it and you can hear it pretty clearly. And yes i recorded it while holding the silent switch and volum buttons still.
 
My iPhone does not make any rattling noises. Send yours for a check. Could be a loose internal component.
 
Take it to the Apple Store to get it checked out by the Genius Bar.

And stop shaking your iPhone...

they told me its normal contrary to what ive read

i need to introduce myself as dukebound, maybe they would know me and help me out hhahahahaha
