I upgraded to the new 3G and about 2 weeks after I got it, the screen started experiencing about 5-10 randomly placed and sometimes flickering stuck pixels. I went to my "local" apple store (about 65 miles away) and swapped it out. The guy at the genius bar got it all up and running for me, and I immediately pocketed the phone and took my girl out to dinner. I checked to see what time it was and noticed that I had a no sim card installed error I know the SIM was in there because I watched him put it in. I then got to looking closer at the phone... here was my mistake: I looked at the sim slot and it is recessed into the phone-not even with the plastic back. I then felt the edge opposite the buttons - the white plastic is not flush with the metal bezel. It actually feels like it's going to cut me if it slides in my hand.
I took it back the the apple store and showed them the error and told them that it looks like it's happening because of the suppressed SIM slot. the Concierge hard reset the phone and it got signal again and said that since it's no longer showing the error, the Genius could not help me today, and I would have to make another appointment tomorrow.
What has happened to Apple? I used to recommend their products to people, and now I'm afraid to do so.
Should they replace the phone again, or am I stuck with a poorly made phone?
