Hi, complete newbie to this forum, however I am not a newbie to replacement iPhones. From 3G to 4 I have had 14 replacements, 5 of these being iPhone 4's.
I'm from the UK, so the rules around replacements may be a little different here, but here is my suggestion which may help you get a BRAND NEW replacement (sealed retail box with a full 1 yr warranty) iPhone rather than those crappy 5K s/n refurbs
Ask for a CRU replacement iPhone at the genius bar, tell them to look at your case history and ask to speak to the manager about your problems with refurbs. As you have had so many I would be surprised if they dont offer you a CRU
