i got a new phone from o2 about 3 or 4 weeks a go but there is loads of dust behind the screen, is this a valid enough reason to return it and get a replacement? its not a massive thing but annoying.

Depends on if it indicates the screen is sealed correctly or not. Might be difficult a case to argue after 3/4 weeks. What phone is it by the way?. Not a i8510 by any chance?

I doubt that very much, you are buying a product and if it doesn't meet your expectations or you suspect a manufacturing fault (poor dust seals) then you should tell them.

If they laughed at me over the phone, i'd be taking their name and writing a letter of complaint.

i know it does sound a bit soft, but surely the inside of the screen of a phone that is 4 weeks old shouldnt be covered in dust.

My 6280 did this, was a poor dust seal, and it does get annoying. Youve got a better chance if you are within your first 28 days or what not
