    Well, I just got through calling for a warranty exchange about 2 hours ago. Kept working at my desk. Grabbed my phone to walk away (I still use it 'cause it's bridged to my Playbook so I still get texts and BBMs though I wish it supported MMS/Group messaging) and a light hit it just right. That's when I saw the sub-surface LCD crack. It's pristine everywhere else. NO crack on the glass and digitizer still functions (I know due to plugging into microHDMI port and viewing on desktop monitor).

    Therein lies the question. This isn't a surface damage at all. Technically, it's an internal damage that's barely visible on the surface. I've read horror internet stories about people being charged for warranty exchanges for making "false claims" by VZW. I'm contemplating calling in to cancel the phone being sent my way or should I wait and see?

    Must be a scratch on inner side of glass.

    If it was the LCD itself, it would almost certainly be unusable. The L in LCD stands for liquid... There's not much of it, but it would come out.

    I cracked my screen from top to bottom about 3 weeks ago, I ordered a new screen for 30$ and changed it myself. Let me know if that's something you would consider eventually..

    Oh good. Thanks. NO idea how a scratch could happen on an inside face. It's beyond me. But, all I know is the phone was functioning every way possible except on it's screen. I'd hate to be forced into paying for a phone for a scratch on a screen that's inconsequential. 'bout to get married in 10 days. Can't afford that right now.

    Is it possible that it was always like that and not noticed right away?

    PS Congratulations to both of you!
