I received my 3G kindle last Fri and this morning it started to develop this rattling sound, the screw finally came loose I suppose. Soon after, freeze and self-reboot randomly, probably depends on where the piece roam to.
After reading this forum tonight, I called up Amazon to report the problem. The rep was very polite and offered to have a replacement sent right away, ETA is Thurs. She said I will have 30 days to return the original, and only need to return the main unit, i.e. I'll get to keep the USB cable (1 for power outlet, 1 for transfer :-) She reassured me that the replacement unit is from a different batch that's dedicated for exchange. I will keep my fingers crossed....
btw, thanks for all the postings, have been very helpful...
