That doesn't help me when I try to sell it lol
Just advertise it as a rare launch #ScuffGate unit and jack up the price.
Make sure to include the hashtag.

I will say this. If my phone gets paint rubbing off, and they don't take care of it with a replacement or whatever, I will for sure never "day one" any electronics ever again. I mean, I have learned my lesson in the past (or not) so you would think I wouldn't do this to myself.

Why would they take it back?
It's wear and tear, which is not covered under warranty.
Yea that is true. My og Droid was dented scarred and scuffed all over. It looked BA.
But the thing about that was I had it for year and a half. I did that stuff to my phone it survived my abuse. It worked fine.
Who wants a brand new phone you just dropped a couple hundred bucks on looking beat up.
I guess basically that logic is wrong if its coming outta the box that way

day 1ing an Apple product usually isn't an problem (except antennagate)
Paint rubbing off is old school silver-paint-on-slightly-less-silver-plastic bush league bullshit.
Considering that I'm typing this on a launch iPhone 4, which has never lived in a case, even that wasn't really a problem.

So what's the first thing you guys and gals are going to do after you take it out of the box and set it up? I'm going to download Speedtest and check my LTE speeds.
If it's widespread then it can easily be argued as a manufacturing defect. If a new car had paint flaking off after a heavy rain it would not be considered normal wear and tear. This could be a similar situation.

I want to be able to sell my device to help towards the costs of the next generation device.

Did Apple replace iPhone 3Gs because the plastic back got scratches on with use?
Yah. It was mostly because they had a pre-order line and a line for schlubs like me. Every time a pre-order person came they got priority which held up the regular line. It happened all day. It got to the point where people in my line started blocking the pre-order line or hiding the sign, LOL. I still ended up with a phone for me and my wife. I was unemployed at the time so I guess I had nothing better to do, but I didn't eat all day. In hindsight I guess I could have waited a few weeks.
This was at the only Apple store in the area. It didn't occur to me to try Best Buy or an AT&T store.

The black version has framerate issues?

That's bound to happen; it happens on my iPhone 4 too and is caused by the metal slot scraping against the metal casing when they insert the SIM card.
2. I put the iPhone in my pocket upside down so I prefer the jack at the bottom.
Moving it to the bottom is an improvement. I've wanted that for years.

Yeah same, much prefer it.
1. The cable is usually the perfect length
2. The bottom is the ergonomically superior location.
Same lol
I swear, AT&T is like the coked-up hooker you fall in love with in a back alleyway. She gives you that faint glimmer of hope when she stares deeply into your eyes (like when AT&T says your iPhone 5 will ship on time), and then proceeds to stomp on your brittle heart when you find out she's fucked thousands of other men (when AT&T cancels your order the night before launch).
In conclusion: Fuck you AT&T.

Once I receive my black iPhone 5 tomorrow, can i return it to ATT within 30 days if i dont like it? I know i could do that with phones purchased from them but I got this at apple.com.
1) How long is it now? It's short as hell if I want to plug it in to a normal socket.
2) I hated that shit on my iPod Touch 4, way better as it was.
Also, can I pick this up on Sprint day 1 with no preorder?
A bottom guy? Always thought you liked the bottom. Doesn't matter to me either way I'm versatile.

I'm also going to download as many widescreen apps as I can. I'd like to avoid the black bars as much as possible.
