HTC HD2 going Pink…

Now before you think this “pink” reference is made to some popular womens lingerie store, I’ll come ahead and crush your dreams — it’s not. Instead this is a bit more sinister. Much like the Droid is having issues with it’s camera, it seems as if the HD2 (popular device this morning isn’t it…?) has problems of it’s own. While the Droid currently lacks the ability to focus because of a random, weird ass cycle because of a time stamp bug, the HD2 has a nasty case of the pink halo. This halo or “aurora” as it is being called leaves pictures taken with the HD2’s camera showing a pink aurora or halo in the middle of the image. Some units aren’t as pink’d with a small “disturbance” in the white balancing in the middle of the image being noticeable. Users are stating that newer units aren’t having this problem and that swapping out the defective units seems to fix the problem. So I guess the question is, is it a hardware or software problem? I would at first say hardware, you know, something with the lens. But after the Droid’s time stamp problem reared it’s ugly, digital head, anything is game now? What do you say? Hardware or software sickness?
