Thanks, Redneck1089. And thanks to the mods for going through and cleaning this thread up a bit! :)

Anyway, I really don't think it's too much to ask that the things I purchase work correctly. So I'll be returning this 3GS as soon as the screen scratches (which could be six hours or six months from now) and I really hope the replacement functions properly.
 
Did your try another device in the headphone jack? Shorts in the wire
of the headphones is much more likely.
