We all said that if that happens get it replaced because it?s faulty. What part of that is so hard to understand? The idea that getting a bad CE means that they are all duds is simply the more absurd thing I?ve ever heard on this forum, save for Teckstud?s postings.
Thats not what you said.

Like this was the first you had heard of it. Trying to be a smart ass really, weren't you?

I asked a simple question about what particular issues arose to cause the discolouration, just liek others did. You have never troubleshooted anything have you? There is a very simple chain of events that affect CE. If there is heat from a battery it is either being caused by a faulty battery -or- by other HW, like the CPU, that is working the battery constantly. I’m sure that Kasper is going to get theirs replaced. That is the sane thing to do.
You can’t expect to buy any CE and not need to utilize the warranty every now and again. That is what it is for. It’s your protection against a faulty product. Where do people go to school to learn about the very basics of business and commerce?
That is 10K objective and relevant posts to your zero.
HAH- HAH!!
Dude - you are the most biased poster on here. All your fanboyish posts only add to the suspicion that you're paid by Apple to come up with one excuse after the other on any Apple problem, lack of feature, or issue related to them. Is this your full time job?
So why the hell would you ask what the symptoms were? Like you didn't believe it was happening.
How can you and Teckstud be so obtuse. From him we expect it, but you should know better.
Obviously, I asked what symptoms led to the discolouration. Where else have we have direct access to someone with an iPhone acting up like this? You might see a discoloured phone and think that Apple is teh doomed, but I’d like to know what is primary cause. It’s something that people who search for answers, instead of ust making wild guesses and accusations, do. It’s called research. Since my iPhone is not having these problems I have no choice but to inquire. Even if my iPhone was doing had the same discoloration, that does not automatically mean that the cause is the same as there are many reasons why the battery would overheat., as I hinted at with my examples above. Deduction and reasoning!
There's been ONE actual report that the FUD-spammers have gotten hold of.
Nothing widespread.
Instead of out-innovating and out-playing Apple the best the comatose competition can do is either promote FUD via grassroots channels or simply spread it themselves.
No one has managed to outdo Apple since the first iPhone, or the iPod, or in most of Apple's markets since 2001. Easiest thing to do is to save money on actual R&D and just run a collective smear campaign.

Please -like how many threads has AppleInsider alone posted on this issue already. And the phone has only been released 2 weeks!
How many of you with any iPhones have had to return it because it got to hot, discoloured the plastic, wouldn?t hold a charge or any other HW issue? For those afflicted, was your issue stated to be a battery issue, some other HW issue, SW issue resolved with a restore, or unknown? Did you get it changed in a store or by mail and was the issue well known to the technical staff?
It is not a discoloration problem. The white iPhone just wants to be black because the black iPhone looks so much better than the white model. Of course I prefer my original model with the aluminum back. The few people that I know that bought a white iPhone, slipped it into a black iPhone case!

I prefer the look of the aluminium backing and I bough the white 3G and slipped it into a black rubber case. My reasoning for the white one was that it was only in 16GB and may hold it?s value better because of that. This time around I went with black as that capacity difference no longer held true. I would have thought that Product (Red) would have came this time around. Maybe that will be for a mid year release when the sales die down after Xmas.

I guess I'll know tomorrow. I hope it all works out. i've been listening to your incessant cheerleading and you've convinced me to buy.

I had to get my white 32gig exchanged because of battery issues and for an unknown reason all my audio went out from both speakers and the jack. Restore did not fix any of it but new one is working beautifully, also it was an in-store exchange if it makes a difference.

You didn?t happen to write down the serial number by any chance?
I still happen to have the original box but its at home. If you want I can post it up in about an hour or two?
If we get Kasper?s S/N perhaps we can figure out if these phones are from within a select batch or more spread out which may be indicative of a larger, more complex problem.

Solipsism, you gotta give him credit, that was a good one....

Edit:
I don't read every post here, I have other things to do. Right now, I have 30 minutes to kill.
