Comparing the first batch of Pre's off the assembly line with ones manufactured in July or later shows that Palm has improved build quality of the phone...

I bet the Pre is exactly the same, these 20 people just weren't retarded. I got mine on launch day, and if a screen cracks, you did it. Everyone that keeps crying about the cracking screen is retarded. It is just like any other large-screen phone...if you throw it at the ground it's going to break.

From what I heard, the PHONE was not responsible for the closing/resetting defect, it was a defective batch of batteries that were either too small to fit snugly or something else. Most manufacturers have no or little control of the quality of the batteries (ask Steve Jobs). To rectify this they started putting the foam in all the phones, in case any of them shipped with a defective battery. And as for the center button, that silvery finish becomes the pearl looking finish after you actually use it for a while. So all you people who are thinking of returning your pre for a "new" model.... don't.
