I just purchased a W980 and when I opened the box and removed the protective labels I found this:





I had already seen online a LOT of pictures of this particular model and I don't remember seeing one in which you could actually see the 'circuit' that is on the surface of the one that I got.

Should I exchange it or they all look like this?



And PLEASE reply if you're an ACTUAL owner of this model. And don't tell me to google it as some very "helpful" member always recommends. I already know that google exists!

As far as I can see, they probably left out a coating underneath the housing. Return it, no 'version' should look like this

certainly does look like its had an aftermarket housing fitted. i'd take it back and get a replacement if i was you.

did you buy it new or preowned ?

Thank you all for your replies!
I bought it at the physical store that www.mobilecityonline.com has in NYC. It was brand-new and unlocked, everything was factory wrapped in their original bags/wrappings and the box was sealed. But I figured something was wrong, that uneven finish is really unattractive and also the main (internal) screen seems to be too sensitive to pressure...

I already re-packed it and it's definitely going back tomorrow.

Mine looks like that too! But everything else seems exactly as it should.
