I have had about 7 different AT&T Tilts in my life and if my memory serves me right, I only remember 2 of them not having the issue I am about to entail.

When I slide my keyboard out, it seems that the ribbon cable or something under the metal hinge pushes against the back of the screen and you can actually see the screen colors fray and fade as if it would do it you were to push down too hard on it with your finger.

I am just wondering if anyone else has notice this. Wonder if it is a common occurrence. I would like to know what causes this.

No such thing on the 2 I've had. Never read of it on here either.

7 Tilt's? That was a typo, right?

No issues for me at all. No resistance or screen changes when activating the keyboard.

hmmm, odd. yeah 7 man haha

i have the worst of luck with phones. the one i thought was "THE ONE" i would keep till it was time to get a new phone was hit out of my hand and the hinge came loose so I had to replace that. That one did not have the problem i stated earlier. my replacement had that screen/hinge issue so i told em to send me another one by bullshitting that it will crack my screen...the one they sent me to replace that had the 7201 chip in it and 0 hours of talk time so it was brand freaking new...but it also had the screen issue...weird, huh? i wonder if it is anything to worry about?

The momentary color shifting occurs when you are applying too much pressure to the wrong area when sliding the phone open. I don't see this is normal use since I baby my Tilt, but I am able to reproduce it when I purposely try to.

Speaking from my job experience of ripping apart laptop LCD's, it's probably the ribbon cable; as mentioned previously...
