Granted dust shouldn't be getting in our cases, but you can't tell when you are using the thing unless you are using the black screen of the berry outside in the sun to look at yourself. What's really the big deal?

Quite the contrary. The lower right corner of my screen looks like it made out with a pixie. It looks like it's covered in glitter.

Well my Curve seems to have gotten dust inside of it! Started yesterday with a tiny bit by the top right hand corner, and now there's a whole lot more on the top! Luv the form factor to death, but I'm walking away from the Curve for at least a month or two. I'll buy one when I hear some of the issues were corrected, namely the build quality, loose rubber, loose mic piece, and now the dust issue! Really stinks because the device is such a pleasure to hold. Hopefully it won't take RIM long to get on point, and get this stuff corrected. As Greg said,back to the 8800.
For now!!!

Can you return it in a store if you got it from the premier site?

As long as you have the receipt that they sent you, and it's within 30 days I think your all good for a return!

Forget it!!!
Unless you take it apart, that dust is camping out under your screen. The way the 8300's are made, everyone will have dust under their screen sooner or later! But if it makes you happy go and exchange it for another one at the store. Hopefully you don't get one with more issues then the one you have with dust under the screen.

I noticed a bunch of dust under my screen a week or so ago. It kinda seems like it all got in there at once, and hasn't changed/shifted at all. It probably doesn't help though that since it didn't come with a holster, it's shuffling around in my lint-susceptible pockets all day.

I just got my replacement in the mail. It seems a lot more solid and actually a little heavier. It is a little heavier and the battery isn't even in it.

(sorry, i reposted in this thread...)
hey guys... so, i've read on the forums about people having 'dust under the screen' problems with their curves. my question for those who have the dust is exactly how much dust gotten in your phone?
i've had my curve since july 4 and just started getting the dust last week, so i can return it for a new one by this friday. i'm just wondering if it's worth the hassle? i've gotten dust in my phones before (mainly because i keep the phone in my pocket), but the dust on the right side of my curve seems to be a little much for just over 3 weeks. i'm just wondering if the exact same thing will happen again with a new curve, or maybe some dust but not as much?
thanks in advance!

While dust is something that affects many phones, so far I have no dust in any of my BB's. 7130c, 8300, 8700, 8800

I have had mine for 3 weeks now and I just noticed some dust at the same place where everyone has been saying (right near the volume keys on the right side of the screen). I bought mine from amazon, do you think I can get it replaced at a local AT&T store?
Also, you people are getting dust even if you have the screen protectors and cases,etc? I was still deciding on what case to get and was just about to order one and I noticed the dust issue.

went through about 4 diff curve's till found one with no flaws and 1 out of the 4 had dust under the screen from first hour, bad seal on sides... Quality control on this model has been below par in my opinion

it's always worth a shot. you'll just have to call and ask...
i have a screen protector but that doesn't keep it from getting the dust coming in from the sides or back. a co-worker of mine has had her curve for a week and half and is getting dust... and she doesn't even keep it in her pocket! oh well... it's still an AWESOME phone!

Reading this thread has got me so nervous. I've had my Curve for a grand total of 5 days (and have seen nothing so far). Could I possibly have a "newer" phone that is more protective? *wishful thinking* I don't want to have to trade in my phone bc I love it to death. Gah
