There's the long-running Anyone have their app approved? thread, and now the Anyone NOT have their app approved? (which appears to focus on those for which approval is still pending).
We've heard of a few reasons that people have been told to submit changes, but really nothing consequential -- just things like "submitted debug-mode app" or "didn't address user data privacy policy"...
What about outright rejections, or rejections which basically indicate that the first attempt is inadequate for some non-minor reason? Anyone got one of those and willing to help others by baring their souls (or, at least, the short-term inadequacy of their app)?

Got feed back from one of my pending applications.
Dont include any images or logos that have anything to do with RIM, BB, or PB.

Now that's worth a kudos right there (or, rather, 2 of them since at Level 2 that's as few as we can give :-) ).

The other feed back/bug they encountered was if your app is reliant on a 3rd party service, make certain the service is up and working. In this particular case, the API to the service changed between the time they submitted it till the time they tested it. But an updated version corrected the issue, but they tested an earlier version. Hopefully when things speed up, this will not occur.

That's really weird as my app screenshots are overlaid on the media images of the playbook and my app got approved. You can see what I mean here

The screenshots aren't part of your app, so that doesn't apply. I doubt it's even the same people looking at your screenshots and, after all, you can add or remove them at any time (as far as I know) without invoking a re-review as you would with a new release.
By the way, if you were to remove that frame, your screenshots might actually be useful to let potential users see what any of the text says. As it is, you can't see much other than the ice rink schematic.

The images I had were a part of the content to select. I agree with @peter, the larger you can make your screen shots the better it would be for the potential customer.
