im using a samsung phone with a samsung dock and samsungs dock software. if its going to leave an image on the screen like that, thats something that should be taken care of.

If Samsung has it on like that all the time then that is kinda fail on their part :/

I was planning on getting one of those docks for my desk. But now am thinking twice about the phone as a whole. my year old tp2 doesn't have this issue.

Again it is not burn-in...burn-in is when pixels light up and stay in their on phase without turning off..this mostly happens to old monitors and plasma TVs..LCDs suffer from burn in as well BUT theirs is more rare..aka you can leave it on a static image for a few hours...keep it on a day or so and your pushing your luck...
AMOLED does not suffer from burn-in..what is happening is each LED pixel has a life span...the more you use these pixels..the faster they burn out...unlike LCD which uses a backlighting which burns out completely..OLEDS just reach half of their brightness..aka they dimming and dimming and dimming..when you get the phone your at 100% and its super bright..in a year with decent usage you would get around 80% then another year 60% and etc...
I think the numbers are as follows:
Blue OLED is 50,000 hours till half life.
Red is like 100,000 hours
Green is like 150,000 hours
Since AMOLED displays so brightly..you can see these differences..once the color settles it will be less bright and not as easily seen..but obviously you want to avoid displaying the same image for a long period of time..mostly if the image contains blue or white...
So again its not "burn-in" its more of "fade-out"...
