Sprint’s HTC EVO 4G Phone Has Build Problems
Reports are starting to surface on mobile phone forums and blogs of problems with the recently launched Sprint HTC EVO 4G phone.
A number of EVO users have reported that the glass touchscreen is coming away from the rest of the device causing light leakage and a possible problem with dust entering the HTC EVO 4G phone – not good.
Some users have arranged an exchange for when the EVO is back in stock at Sprint. Although there has been no official comment from Sprint or HTC it’s thought the issues may be caused by a problem with the glue.
