I took an 8700 100% out of its shell to work on the casing plastic, and put it back together. (Its posted on this site.) Im talking even removing the clear-plastic that is the led-indicator from the casing.

Anyways, A LOT of what held that phone together was "super strength double sided tape". No joke. You know, the screens are just pressed on there.

Its hard to not have dust get in the nicks and crannies there. I've noticed it with almost every device I've had, including stuff like GameBoys, etc.

Good news is, sometimes that dust just goes away. (Or, off the screen.)

PS - If you want to see if you have dust, take your BB out into sunlight and have the backlight off, then look close (OCD freaks... GO!)
