It really sucks too, because my new phone seems cheaper than the one I got on iday. The screen isn't as sharp (I have the "new" 7 model LCD and I DO notice the difference - it's freaking blurry!) and when I press the home button the bezel moves ever so slightly. Also the panning works differently. My old one would lock in one direction when I scrolled up so I could scroll through a long webpage quite quickly. Now I have to be extra careful not to pan to the side. It's so aggravating!

Oh, and a little hint: before you bring your phone into the Apple store, close any internet windows about iphone hacking. They don't like that. The attitude

of the genius immediately changed when he saw that. Funny story, maybe I'll
share in another thread.

I would like to hear their reaction as well....
