I just decided to thoroughly check my TP2 for dead/stuck pixels. I figured I'm aware of 2 without looking for them, let's see what is really going on. I set the brightness on maximum and really studied the screen on a completely black background. Ironically one of my 2 stuck pixels was gone! The device now has a single white/reddish stuck pixel in the top right corner. I can't see it at all during normal use because the top menu obscures it. I have been leaving my phone on the setting where Windows Mobile sets the screen brightness automatically. With this set I can barely see the pixel. Ideally I would like to run my device at 50% brightness but then it is a touch more noticeable. So do I leave well enough alone and live with a device that has only 1 barely noticeable pixel defect, or risk it and go thorugh the very annoying Sprint return process?

Speaking of what is the deal with the credit from a return taking forever to hit your account? Sprint's systems are ridiculously bad.
