iPhone 3G yellow screens explained
Though Apple claimed that the iPhone 3G’s screen was the same as the original’s, users are discovering that their devices’ screens exhibit a noticeable yellow tint when compared to the screens of the original iPhones. iLounge’s extended Live iPhone 3G Comparison Test, however, shows a subtle difference by comparison with the blue-tinted original iPhone and the differently colored iPod touch, noting that each screen possesses a slightly different white balance, with the gray-white iPod touch having the most neutral coloration. Additional user reports suggest that the yellow tint may be bothering some users, and it is currently unknown how much tint is in different units’ screens, or whether Apple will replace especially affected units.

I like the yellow, BUT i think they went a little too overboard and should tone it down a little.

Like kenc said if anyone knows anything about calibrating LCD HDTVs, you’ll know that the warmest color temperature produces the most accurate colors. Most people may not notice it but when u go to theaters the screens have a warm color temp.
