anyone see any pictures or anything removing the soft coating?

I'm not even sure what this soft coating everyone talks about is.

Apparently, given enough time, it comes off on its own.

Is that a good thing?

[jaethos]

No, it's a bad thing.

I read the limelight yellow version comes wothout the soft coating.

This is true, I have one. The finish is more like a matte lumia. If you ever have a chance to see the colors side by side you will feel the difference. I took a trip to the MS store the other day and limelight was the only model that felt like this. All models I've handled were revision 002.

Five whole weeks huh?

Five whole weeks huh?

Whats that supposed to mean? 6 weeks for me and I dropped my phone once, it's been in rain and snow, with and without a case, in the bathroom while I take a shower everyday so the moisture can mess with it, and I take my phone out of pockets at work every 5-10 minutes while im checking emails and text. that's a lot of in and out of pockets. Wear and tear is different for everybody, I don't even think my dad took his phone out of pocket in rain after two years, yet I switched songs in the rain a few times so far.
