White AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-I717, possible defect

---

Discovered a hair line crack today on my White AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-I717. Took it to a corporate store and the manager told me there isn't anything he can do about it, because it isn't a known, reported issue. Well I am here to be the first. Hopefully this doesn't become a common issue and there is some sort of recourse. Meanwhile I will be posting to let others be aware of this possible defect.

Where is that. A crack is a crack regardless of reports.

If you are within 3O days the store should swap it. After 30 days you need to call warranty...800-801-1101 i think

On my old 3GS I had that problem. Hopefully the same doesn't happen on my Note.

White one too? If so, that is interesting. Wonder what makes them more brittle...or maybe they just show the cracks more?

why dont you just examine the phone in store before you purchase??

No cracks here. Did you sit on it?

Also, do you really need 2 threads for this?

It isnt always there.

The evo had an issue like this...where after a few weeks of use it would crack near the power button.

Yup. My white 3GS. Some where in India now though. Good riddance. But I do recall something happening with the Nexus One where it would crack near the power button sometimes.

That sucks. But i do recall white iphone 3-3gs having this issue. I hope this doesnt happen to my note.

-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
