Oh No, Dust under my 8300 screen

**HotWax**

Just like my first 8700c, I now have dust under the screen of my 1 month old Blackberry Curve.

It's along the right side of the screen.

how did you get dust down there? can you take it apart?

That happens on a lot of things. I have dust under my PSP screen. The only thing you can do about it is to take your phone apart and dust the screen off but then you would void your warranty.

It was a defect in the very first 8700's that came out, RIM fixed it. I can't believe this can make it through quality control again? A side note: it isn't nearly as bad as it was with the 8700, you can only notice it when the screen is black.

what about a can of air, like they use for cleaning PC and components, just blow some in the edges to try to get it out...

Thats weird...I have dust on my screen too, only noticable when its black...but its also on the right side...I wonder if there is a right side design flaw??

I have also noticed dust under the upper right of my screen. It's driving me nuts.

Wow, I was just about to post a thread on this when BAM, there already was one!

I hate dust on my screen and I take every precaution to keep my devices pristine. My dust is also on the right side of the screen, but seems to be collecting at the bottom.

I tried figuring out a way to get it off...couldn't get the front cover off but was able to crack it and blow into it...seemed to help with all of the bigger dust...but some of it's still there...

Guess what incredible I thought i was the only one I have dust in my screen and guess where it is right side. My first curve was also defective and threw it in my pocket alot. Curve owners probably dont initially have holsters, a least for a few days and my first curve was always in my pockets thus collecting dust. Since I have my new curve and purchased the holster no dust yet pray for me.
