The flange support had to support all of this stress - hence the oreo. With my new Pre, I know exactly where my phone hit the concrete first (very small ding) and it fits perfectly with the theory that the fall "bent" the flange support and loosened the connection between the flange and the track.
I can confirm this, my first phone had to be replaced but my second one was perfect, then my friend had wanted to see it so instead of just asking me, he grabbed it from my hand, taking only the top part, while I was still holding onto the bottom of it. It now has a mild oreo effect only in the counter-clockwise direction, which is the direction of which stress was put on it.
