palm pre wobbles and has a gap

so, my palm pre has a lot of wobble, but mainly there is a large gap. Does your pre look like this?

I try to show the wobble, but it is hard to see. the gap is much clearer.

I just bought one today and I have zero wobble (up and down). However, I do have a bit of side to side (oreo) motion. I have to press kinda hard to do it, so I'm not sure if I should return it. Do you have to press fairly firmly for the side to side or will it move with a shake of your phone?

if i hold the screen half, and shake, it will easily twist.

Well I don't treat my phone bad or harsh so I don't have this, but duude that sucks for you!

it was like this when i bought it. i assumed it was normal, until i saw other peoples pres.

The gap on mine isn't even close to that. I hear the first production models were mostly the problem. I got mine about 3 weeks after the release right at the Sprint store. Also, check to see if yours was an early return model...some people turned in their first production models and those outlets just cleaned them up and sold them back to people because they still "worked".

couldn't have been a returned model, as I purchased it on the day it came out, and it was like that the day i bought it.

Ive got a wobbly pre just like you do. Ive had it for about 4 months now and I have a warranty on it. Its always bothered me but I dont know if I can get a new one :( can you?

[tamametal]

that's the oreo effect right?

[patelkedar]

That's because yours is new.

I'm an early adopter and I have the same effect he has.

Palm has recently fixed this in the latest models.

ive had mine for like 3 weeks i think and theres no gap, you should get a new one.

mine was like this too so i returned it for one that wasnt as bad but still very loose. these pres are made cheaply, so i moved on. too bad, i really like webos.

anyone find this to be true and works? sure hope it does!

I would have been outraged when I got that. I literally would have demanded for a new one on the spot and if they refused I would smash the phone and destroy planet earth
