Brian, Having Apple give you a new phone is as good as it gets.
I'm curious, did VoiceOver read these strange symbols while you were in the Apple store? That is to say, did a Apple Genius witness the problem? I would give anything to have another VoiceOver user play with your phone to see if the same phenomena occurs. I'm not suggesting anything, mind you, just thinking, on-list, as it were. Do me a favor, assuming that VoiceOver did not read weird symbols in the Apple store, take your new device to a different location from where you are experiencing this symbol reading problem; say a coffee shop, a supermarket, any place and see what happens. Do you have any kind of screen protector on the phone? If so, remove it. Also, make sure the device is not housed in any kind of case. Finally, make sure you are not using any kind of Bluetooth or third-party accessory. Keep us posted.

Same problem. I still get the symbols. I am utterly baffled. I go to the bottom of the screen and I flick left through safari, mail, phone, and then I get the string of symbols... one more flick left and more symbols, then I get compass. With a flick back right I get settings and then symnbols again... It makes no sense. And this is just one example. It is littered throughout all of my apps. I've reset from scratch, and have a brand new phone now and I still haven't escaped this issue. Can I really be the only one?
