iPhone 3G S has yellowish tint

I just got my iPhone 3G S today and noticed that it has a distinctly yellowish tint to the screen. Doesn't matter what app I am using, and I've tried adjusting the brightness with no success.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

15" Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6), iPhone 3G S

The green dot on the box means that it has the updated power plug. The older ones had the blades breaking off in the outlet when pulling out. You will also see the green dot on the plug itself.

I think Apple is trying to cover it up (conspiracy theory).

What do you mean by polarization of the screen?

It is a week 24. I do not know what you mean by decoder.

Looks like maybe the Chinese are making them *too fast*? Who would have thought?!
