I got my phone today, but I'm having an issue with the earpiece speaker rattling. It makes a high pitched buzzing sound basically. Does anyone else have this problem? If I press on the grill covering the speaker it seems to go away. I'm planning on taking it to a Sprint store to compare.

Let me know if you have any thoughts, thanks.

I'm not having that issue at all. Take your phone back and exchange it for another one.

I got it from Wirefly. I hope it's painless to exchange. In fact, I'm hoping they'll let me keep this one till the new one gets here.

Actually, ugh " Once we receive your original phone and verify it is in its original, new condition, we will process and ship your replacement phone immediately."

What a crappy policy. They should send you the replacement immediately and if they don't get your phone within a certain time period, charge you for the new device.

Here's an update for anyone in a similar situation. I called Sprint retentions and they gave me a free month of service. They told me on the 31st day of service I can take the device into a Sprint store and they will fix the problem there. Since the phone works well otherwise I'll just do that.
