Is this the type of annoying dust that's only visible in outdoor light or right under bright lamp? I have had this problem on so many phones not just Nokia from Samsung to
& it really is annoying. If you have only had it a few weeks then ask at the Vodafone store see what they say. They will either tell you to go away & it's not a manufacturing fault or they may exchange. Try it ya don't ask ya don't get. Maybe it's just that model that's prone to it. My Nokia 5230 has so far none. Maybe sometimes certain phones are not sealed properly you may get a replacement & not have any dust. I had this problem with the Nokia 6700 & Phones4U actually swapped it cos I said I am paying for a premium device @ £170 yet masses of dust is inside & it really spoils the screen plus it was brand new. The replacement had no issue with dust so that previous one maybe had not been sealed right around the screen but manufacturers need to sort this issue.

Ye take it back, had no idea that could happen with a touch display TBH, thought they were properly sealed.

You got a 5230? How are you finding it? Lol, thought you were still enjoying Elm?

I had my Elm stolen by kids in hoods outside my work place in broad daylight. So I got the Nokia as a replacement for now it's great except for the cam. And yes it can happen to a touch screen it happened to my Samsung Jet. The dust gathered in the right bottom corner & it was alot
It's my first Symbian phone that has had not one crash or restart quite impressive & it's fast. Everything right down to the build is great just rubbish cam.

Oh,sorry to hear that Bono, look at the brightside,it wasnt at gun point like how it sometimes happens here.
Nothing more annoying than dust under the fascia,ruins the display quality, my W900 had that problem,and my N81 had the same,but Nokia replaced the whole front cover.

Last
I had this with was the c510. But so many phones have this & it's nasty
I think Kerry you should return it & ask them. Show them in the right light where the dust shows up more. @Tsepz_GP I can imagine that in SA getting robbed @ gunpoint from what I have heard. The kids knocked me over when they snatched it outta my hand & I cut my right hand
I even decided not to have insurance & then it happens
You know the phones which get alot of dust under their screens? Blackberries are terrible for it. I know 3 people with different ones & the dust is terrible. My 5230 without dust

Hmm I don't wanna go back to the vodafone shop again
but what i'll do is contact the eForum about this, I don't understand how dust can
actually get into the phone tbh unless it's getting in through the speaker part,
I know other phones with this problem the Nokia 6280 had it,
but that was easy to pull appart and sort, but i don't wanna be thinking about opening my Nokia it may void the warranty if i do that, im stuck with till next year and I don't want it looking like a old wreck within weeks lol
ive done a seaech on Google for this problem looks like others are experiencing it to!!!!
the Dust is that annoying dust yepp

Yeah well dust I guess is dust
Anyway I never thought you don't wanna go back to the store cos they have already sorted you out with alot of stuff. I remember the 6280 terrible phone
It already had dust right out of the box
I think you should mail Nokia & let them know to seal their bloody screens in future. It must be getting through an opening

In a Dutch phone related forum I've found several posts of X6-owners, complaining about dust, one of them had the phone for two weeks.
According to a member of that forum, working in a phone shop, this is a known problem, so people should bring their phone to a Nokia Service Point, there's a Service Bulletin, about this problem and how to fix it :
Identification of fault or service case
Dust was found between the touch panel and LCD. In some cases the display gasket has been broken due to wrong tape removal method and causing the dust intrusion.
