Hey guysi need some feedback, i have the 5600 love all featrures on phone,but the dust underscreen is killing me, i had the phone 8 days and theres specs all over, and it really bugs me, has there been a fix to this and i really dont feel like sending it in , i just recieved the phone was hoping issue wouldve been fixed, and just on a side note bars on this phonefluctuate alot, in low siganl areas i can hold call but it breaks up more than my v551 or mpx 220 so i think mpx gets the nodd in terms of rf.

I've had mine for a month with it in my dusty jeans pocket every day. I don't have a speck under the screen. There must be some good and some bad batches. FWIW, I bought my ATT one off ebay.

Dust under the screen is amongst my all-time dealbreakers. For this reason, I can't buy nearly all Nokia models out there.

In this case, it's stopping me from buying the 5600, as well.

Someone posted this how-to guide on dust-proofing your 5600. It's not bad. And, it would appear that the poster actually TESTED this for quite some time before posting the how-to.

I would try it myself, but I think it's inexcusable that I'd need to go through such measures. Plus, knowing me, I'd end up getting dust under the screen before sealing it back up again!

It's pretty common with the newer bar phones. Both my SE T616 and T637 did the same thing.

Yes ican understand that but geez, we spend good money on a product, that works pretty good but the dust is a deal breaker for me also.

I agree completely, aside from that we void the warranty so if the phone goes bad in a few months we are stuck

Does anyone else have the problems with the dust issue.

Unfortunately, you can add me to that list. For over two weeks no dust. Then yesterday I noticed a couple of specs. Not bad with the backlight on and fairly obvious when it's off. My 6620 has dust galore but I can use a T6 to open and remove. Looks to be a little more complicated with the 5600. Shouldn't have to do this with a high end phone.

I have a mild case of OCD, so dust and other imperfections typically drive me crazy. However, I learned to live with dust on the 6620 and I suppose I can learn to live with it on the 5600. Shouldn't have to though. At least you can remove it yourself if you're willing to put in the effort. In regards to the 5600, it's my favorite MS phone and about equal with my 6620 as my favorite phone of all (that's available and supports 850). There are things that I like better about Series 60 and things I like better about WMS. The 5600 specifically has a nice screen, excellent form factor, great volume, decent speed, is feature packed and appears to be stable. Music playback is fine, video playback with Betaplayer is excellent, and I've found all my Series 60 equivalents for WMS. I've read some people's post who think the 5600 is ugly but I guess there is no accounting for taste because I think it's a great design- sleek, black with silver trim. Beautiful. I think I'll be running with the 5600 until the Nokia 6682 is out and I'll try that. But I think, THINK, that the 5600 is going to retire my very dependable, but worn out 6620. The lack of EDGE concerned me, but I loaded MSN on the 5600 with Opera and on the 6620 with Netfront (my preferred Series 60 browser) and the 5600 loaded the page faster. I don't tether, so I think I'll be fine for now.
