Exclamation Storm screen flex/discoloration issues!!!

Wow, look at the frames taken from the videos posted on the blog page. The screen flexes and discolors like an LCD screen does on the edges when you press down. WTF RIM? Why would you release it like this? This is a major turnoff for me... anyone else?

Great, I didn't notice this until you pointed it out and now I'll be paying attention to it as soon as I get it. I hope I can get past this.

If it does no harm I don't see a big fuss about it. Chances are if you are pressing on the screen you're more focused/concentrating on the text you're typing than the edges of the screen.

Eh...that... really doesn't bother me... I mean... not at all. I'm still sold. It'll take more than an incredibly slight discoloration when clicking to turn me away from what appears to be an awesome phone.

Damn that's a shame. It doesn't look that bad though. I'm coming from a Samsung SCH-i760 which had a really soft screen and discolored much more frequently and intensely than that. It was also a touchscreen so it's very common to see it when you're pressing the screen with the stylus all the time.

Sorry to bring up the iphone again but it doesn't do that (from what I remember). Still, other features like the clicking screen sounds better than the iphone anways heh. I'm really excited for this phone! Those videos really impressed me.

I think you're all missing the point here. Everyone was sold on this device by RIM/VZW that the screen technology was going to be revolutionary and awesome. Yeah, awesome on how it flexes. How do you miss this during development? Obviously the answer is... PLASTIC SCREEN. Heck, other touchscreen phones don't have this problem... at least ones I've used.

Keep in mind those videos were likely done using pre-release hardware. I would wait for the final production devices to see if its an issue or not. No point in getting all worried about it yet.

Now that you pointed it out that would totally bother me. Does any other touch screen (i.e. iPhone) do this??

If the screen is glass then it couldnt really flex like that from a soft touch. My guess it is something to do with the software and not the hardware.

Doesn't bother me one bit, unless of course the flex and distortion of the screen has lasting effects after a while.
