Perhaps the "S" stands for stain?

Maybe its a new feature of the 3GS, an overheating warning before it burns the hands! I hope the discoloration is not permanent, like it turns brown when overheating then returns to normal color! that would be a great unannounced feature!

Only "problem" I noticed on my 3GS is that sometimes the backlight doesn't turn on but the display is on. I can use the phone and all but there is no backlight until I press the sleep button and wake the phone, then the phone is normal.

Well... I just took my iPhone 3G to the Genius... Condescending Bar today reporting my black 16GB 3G overheating while in talk. 2 stories later.... "You have too many apps downloaded into the phone"... Ha! (6GB worth), then "you are running on the original profile you created when you registered your 1st iPhone and you need to fully back up every time you update your hardware and re-register under a new profile"... are you kiddin' me?????? Such bullcrap!!!! Then he takes out his little scope and notices that there is a pink stripe inside the bottom dock connector. Then proceeds to tell me that the phone has been submerged. Keep in mind that this phone was a refurbished phone which 2 months ago they gave me in replacement of a unit which was I was having network problems with and a dead pixel which I could not rescue. Then tells me (of course) that this waves the phones warranty. Offers me a service replacement of the same model (3G) for $199. Such crap. If any of you know what else I should do or how I can escalate this issue please reply to this post.

Same here, my iPhone 2G started rebooting everytime I tried to take a pic, but I realized it only used to happen when the iPhone was conencted to the PC.

The same used to happen to the White macbook. However, Apple claimed that it was my fault and not the over heat.

I hope this doesn't happen with both of my white phones. Good thing I've got connections at my local Apple Store.

I like the posts talking about black to keep it dirt free. Like a black car dirt will show up more on the black iPhone. The white iPhone will reflect light making it hard to see any dirt but a black iPhone that absorbs more light will make you able to see all the detail including the amount of dirt.

I hope this guy gets his iPhone replaced, I am thinking its just a defect in his phone.

Busted up to all the white phones, black was always better imho.

"besides the sound issues reported before."

When was that reported? Just curious, cause ill be texting and the button sounds sometimes dont make noise. Also ill be watching a video and the sound just stops in the middle of viewing... anyone else having this issue?

[PabloInTheSky]

that sucks hopefully this doesn't start happening to everyone with the white 3gs so glad i got the black one :-D

[ODB25]

Damn one guys phone is waterproof and the other guys phone is overheating!! Suggestion: don't use your phone by water or use it so much that it burns through your hands!

[Mista Brothason]

I bet Apple is going to re-release the phone again... sucks for ppl who already got the 3GS lol

Why would a guy want a white one anyway? It looks so feminine lol
