    I was just wondering if anyone who keeps a Z10 in their poket gets dust under the screen? This is a huge pet peeve of mine, that's why I always use the OEM holster for all my berries. But I lost my holster so I carrying my Z in my pocket for now. But I was wondering if anyone who has been carrying their Z10 in their poker since day one, have any dust under the screen??

    My Z10 has been in my pocket since day one and I've not encountered this.

    Nothing like that. Happened to me with 2 LG Optimus T devices a few years ago. Was really frustrating. Had one exchanged, and then the one they sent me had the dust but worse! I ended up trading my friend who worked for T-Mo for his gray one, never happened with that model.

    Shouldn't happen with a fused screen. Mine is OK.

    I carry my Z10 in my pocket most of the time. I don't have dust under the screen, but I DO have dust under the glass above the front facing camera.

    Kind of annoying but it isn't a big deal to me since I don't use that camera.

    Can you think of anything in your pocket that might have caused this? It's unusual but whatever it was, is an important bit of cautionary information to share.

    Nope, I keep my phone in it's own pocket. My pockets aren't particularly dirty, either. This is also the first phone I have had this happen to.

    Some Nokia Lumia 920's have had a similar issue, so I wonder if it could be the same kind of defect on my Z10.

    @ooklah What have they said? Have you got a replacement?

    I have too dust under the front camera of my Z10 and even worse dust under the screen of my Q5. I wear both devices in my pocket without any case though. But I never put anything else in that pocket, so the dust must directly come frome the trousers itself.

    Do you know of any technique to get the dust out again, without opening up the body of the devices? I tried a vacuume cleaner on the Z10 put without any success. The way the dust came in, it will not come out again (around the Loudspeaker of the Z10 I guess).

    I've got a pubic hair under my screen. No idea how it got there considering I'm completely shaved.

    Have you by any chance used compressed air on your phone ?

    I have not contacted BlackBerry about this yet.
