Default Dust Under Screen
The Tour screen is just like the storms the edges aren't sealed, so what's to stop from dust getting underneath the screen?

Um...

The Storm has a touch-screen overlay on top of the LCD. Dust sometimes gets caught between the two screens.

The 9630 doesn't have a touch screen, so I doubt it will have the same dust problems.

Why aren't the edges sealed? It's not a touch screen so why wouldn't it be like the 8900/Bold screen?

I'm sure it's sealed.. There's no need to have a gap on the edges because it's not a surepress screen.

Even the Curve got dust under the screen. Lets hope that with the Tour, RIM does a good job of sealing all the edges.

What? The Curve? I've got one and I don't see how dust can get it? Maybe from the trackball and buttons near the screen?

I see no reason why the screen would not be sealed.

Looking at the pictures, it doesn't look like the edges are sealed. My friend has a curve, and while not a touch screen, it still collects dust under the edges, which is so annoying

The 9630's screen is just like the Bold's. And no dust gets under the Bold's screen.

Its exactly like the 9000's and you won't be getting any dust under the screen.
