Default Is there a problem with dust getting begind the screen?

Hi
to all owners of the spanking new desire is anyone seeing dust build up on the screen. I have been reading about this problem on the nexus and i'm concerned that this will be a problem with my new phone(when it finally arrives )
thanks in advance for your views.

Dust behind the screen???? That's bad ... really bad

I am getting more and more disappointed about this device:
- Bad battery life
- Device getting warm
- No voice-to-text

And now this?

Well, OK, I will still take it as my first Android device
Galaxy Nexus (Official yakju build): Android 4.1.2 "yakju" stock ROM, stock recovery, rooted ... fastboot unlocked

DONATE TO ME
i dont think after a day or two of usage you will be able to see any dust cuz pretty sure the device will be used most of the time for the first couple days

what i meant is that nobody here has the phone for more than 2 days or so, so give it a bit more time cuz for that amount of time it is hardy possible to get your device dusty


and if youre working in a dusty environment then i dont think there are any anti-dust phones unless you put it in case

i was reading a post on another site from a guy who said after a few days his nexus was already being penetrated by dust. just made me concerned because of all the talk of the nexus and desire being so similar.

I do my fair share of woodwork at school, and while me and my lovely Desire was covered in dust and sawdust, a quick wipe with a clean t shirt and the display was sparkling again, no dust locked under the screen for me?

Tbh I would be just as picky.. Especially as I buy my phones sim free so if im paying £400-500 for a device I want it to be perfect.. Got my hd2 on release day and it still looks like it did when it was new.. Have friends who have had for the same amount of time and they are trashed.
