I'm having the same problem, but only when I'm not looking straight at it. The discoloration comes and goes, though. Maybe it is a heat issue.

It just might be! I let my phone sit with the screen off for about 15 minutes and went to send a text.....discoloration is gone. Wonder if it'll come back.

Hey all, I think it is a heat issue! When it was charging, it got extremely hot (like MacBook Pro hot) and that's when I noticed it. It slowly went away during the course of the day but still partially remained.

Now its dead haha, waiting for it to charge up again. I love the phone though, the UI is unbelievable.

Lame. I didn't even notice it until I looked at this forum. I've got the yellow spot. My phone is on the charger now, but it's very apparent when you're on a white background (email). Once it's done charging I'll take it off and let it cool down and see if it's still there.

My Pre has that same problem, but in the bottom right... I didn't notice it until I got home because on colorful or complex images or backgrounds, it wasn't as noticeable. It really stands out though in chat/sms and Sprint TV.

I will be exchanging it for another one.. it will drive me nuts if I don't. The 4-5 other Pres purchased with me this morning haven't reported this problem. (dad, brother, mom, co-worker, and his wife).

I have the same discolorations - if anyone goes back to the store and they get a new one please post it.

I will gladly use this one while I wait for a replacement. This device is so great!

I wonder if that means I should hold off on sending my rebate form in... The last thing I want to do is possibly mess that up.

No color defect but my phone resets when I close the keyboard too hard.
