i bought a 6600 a few months back which after a month had 3 dead
pixels, i got the phone repaired under warranry for free (they
replaced the screen). i now just have one dead pixel.

dead pixels are quite common on tft screens, my ipaq organizer has a
dead one, my pc monitor has one and a mates 6600 has one!

later I got my phone back with a new display. Waranty of course

Unfortunately some dead pixels are inherent to the manufacturing process
of TFT screens. STN (passive) panels do not have this problem.
Manufacturers could release *perfect* screens only, but this would put
costs up dramatically.

Funny thing, it's only Nokia 6600 owners who seem to have a problem
with it, judging by their posts to the newsgroups. And not Nokia 3650s,
Communicators, SE t630s, or whatever handsets which are equipped with TFT
screens.

i've seen a few tft monitors with 'no dead pixels guaranteed' but as
you say they are pricey!
