Upon using my iPhone from Saturday of this week, it’s been an amazing product. Unlike many folks I’ve read about (and now evidently this pertains to just 2% of the iPhone-buying populace), I had no activation issues.

But now I do have an issue.

It looks like I may have to return the iPhone to Apple. The volume controller in the iPod app does not work. That is to say, trying to move the volume widget doesn’t work.

I get a similar problem when looking at maps: the buttons at the bottom of the screen do not depress. My feeling is, it’s a hardware flaw with the touch-screen.

I’ve seen one such flaw before: one guy made a video of his iPhone’s entire touch-screen being faulty. I haven’t yet read about one that is partially faulty.

If you have an iPhone, here’s my contribution with a wallpaper. I took this photo in Washington, D.C. last year.

Evidently, I’m not the only one with the iPhone issue.
