Dramatic Difference In Screen Quality (PIC Added) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I just received my replacement t989 from TMobile, and realized my original phone's screen quality was horrible! I powered them on side by side, and my new phone looks clear as day with bold colors, and my original phone looks distorted and VERY yellow! I will post pictures after work. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yes. Also got a replacement recently and I can attest the screens have gotten better on the newer-made phones.

Updated OP with a picture I took of them side by side. You can clearly tell which one is which.

Same here, my previous t989 screen was crappy and the moment I turned on my replacement phone I noticed a huge difference with the screen quality, felt like I am using a whole new phone.

I haven't got a replacement for my s2 but I've received for other phones from TMobile...i was just answering you...and yes they are refurbished...
But I'd like to know how long they had their s2's before they got the refurbs...maybe the screen degrades really fast...

I think the replacement just has a better screen. I don't see them degrading to that extent, especially in this short of time.
If you have insurance T-Mobile discounts the exchange to only $5 and you get free overnight shipping.

It was free, but they changed it to $5. It's worth it though since they added overnight shipping.

I will look around on ebay and see what prices are there. If you want to quick sell just lower price $50 or so and you get your fare price.

I've suspended the service and tried to use plan b with no success.
I have insurance with tmo.
Is there any way I can locate it+how much will it be to replace via insurance claim?

If you have insurance it shouldn't cost more than $40 to get a replacement.

Cops won't waste the resources for a phone that is not worth it.
Report it to T-Mobile and they will put the IMEI on a black list that it can never be used again...
I got a replacement via asurion
I'm not sure whether my stolen phone was imei blacklisted but they said it's now deactivated.
Actually pretty happy because my phone had tons of lines and a few scrapes+ scratched

They sent me a Blaze because apparently they didn't have any black s2 left...pretty dumb of them.
I think no apps can match 'find my iPhone' if in this situation ad i also have all version of iPhone.. once i try to locate n yes i found it back....
Samsung should have one of those..
Anyway, they shouldn't replaced to you the blaze i think... :banghead:

As a point of reference I bought mine used a month ago for 150 and it came with an Otter box case.
Also was looking for a friend and saw them on eBay for 170 up to 220 for suckers lol.
I'd say someone would take 200, but I'd go for 175 if it was great condition and 150 for minor wear.

I'd take it, it's become a buyer's market in the current atmosphere, haggling over $10-15 wastes your life.
