I've had mine since June and haven't run across anything like that....I'd take it back for repair or replacement......at least get it checked out

Yes it seems to happen when I am holding imo the sides.... like the screen is shifting in place.... weird

Called up Sprint and a new one is on its way!

mine kinda does too. doesnt pop per say, but you can hear a difference on tap sometimes.
Looking at it and feeling diff spots almost feels like the screen is lifted above the surround just a tiny bit enuff to see it and feel it flex a little.

Just a thought. Mine was doing this, only making the noise when I pressed on the sides. Then I realized that I had just taken the back cover off to look at the battery. I hadn't fully pushed the cover into the phone, it looked closed, but I use an Otterbox cover over the phone, so it wasn't obvious.

Yes I see what you are talking about but that was not the situation.... the screen literally pushed down. I have had he sedio 3500 since day 1 (lol I bought the battery before I even bought the phone) and I have never had to remove it. It was just a popping sound from the screen being loose. I mean It wasn't a big deal yet but I could tell it was only gonna get worse.

I have my new ego in hand and I gotta say... it seems to be much better than my old one in every way. Even the sound rocker is more reaponsive!

life is just evoliscious!

Mine feels pretty solid right now.. hope it stays that way. Never hesitate to take your phone in for repair/replacement. :)
