Default Just received my lumia 900 am I being picky???

Ok guys this is the first phone since the OG google nexus that has totally blown me away. This thing is gorgeous and feels great in hand. But ofcourse like with every new purchase I first start to look for any imperfection/defects. So now here is where I need the help of my XDA friends. As I press along the side of the phone where the buttons a located, specifically in between the power button and camera shutter that portion of the phone actually can be pushed in. It sort of feels as if there is a slight give between the lcd and the body in that area. I tried pressing down on the oppositte side of the phone where no buttons are located and there is no give. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!

Also, the capacitive buttons are a dull off white color. Is that normal?

Mine does not give at all. If it does I suppose I would have to squeeze it like crazy. The build quality compared to pretty much everything else is vastly superior.

The buttons are indeed off white in color. I didn't notice this at first, the samsung buttons lit up.

I cannot find that squishy spot you speak of. Holding it in my hands right now...can't feel what you're feeling.

Yeah I feel it. I'll probably go into a story on Monday to confirm and maybe swap it out. Thanks!

No Give whatsoever on mine. Pushing on the screen there, it gives ever so slightly, but not pushing on the side. But I have to push more than normal to get the screen to move at all. Likely, it's a soft spot in the plastic?

Awesome phone live it...main complaint is that sim card slot looks very brittle and the top looks already bent. Other than that this is the first windows phone I think I will keep it for some time.

Are you guys gonna be any screen protectors (Zagg or someting like that) or a gel case or bumper to protect it further? I also saw the Case-Mate Pop Case which has a kickstand built-in that is kind of cool to have.

I think I will be doing injustice if I use any case with this beautiful hardware. I will go bare with no screen protector and case.

Alright guys well I've just been through hell with att yet again. I went to my local corporate store and confirmed that my device is defective. The plastic located just between the camera button and power flexes inward and makes a noticeable clicking noise. The rep told me that they have the phones in stock but cannot exchange mine until Monday. Well I found that to be unacceptable and asked to speak to the manager. The manager approaches me half listens to my situation and midway through my story he interrupts and says he will not exchange the defective item. As you can imagine iam livid. I go back to my car and call customer service. After being on the phone for 30 minutes and explaining my situation yet again, the rep agrees that they should exchange the device. She asks me to walk in and put the manager on the phone. I do as she asks and allow this situation to go on. After another 20 minutes the manager wouldn't budge. All in all iam stuck with a defective device until Monday and $75 in courtesy credits. Imbisels, when will they learn its not about the money its about the customer service. $75 in credits as opposed to an exchange? Really? I wish nokia would have launched an unlocked device side by side. I would pay $100 extra not to deal with this carrier crap anymore. Thanks for listening to my rant people.
