Doesn't look like the page is coming back up anytime soon.
Maybe they were bombarded with request and bailed on the online replacement program.
Yeah, I tried that link early last week and it didn't work for me either, I think it's just an old link. I prefer to bug them first hand on the phone or at the repair store. HA!

Maybe it would help if all the people who have had the same problem tell whether they use their stylus or fingers to operate the phone as this would probably help zero in on the cause of the dark spot,
I pretty much use just my fingers to navigate my Touch, but I don't think that has anything to do with it. As I noted earlier these spots show up in random locations, no real pattern to speak of. I just think it's crappy hardware and at this point I'm not too optimistic that the Diamond will be any better. I hope it is though so maybe I can get a Diamond as a replacement for my Touch, cause this issue is driving me to drink. Oh wait, I would be drinking anyway. HAHA!
Thanks for your input guys, let me know if you plan on trying to get a replacement. If so post an update after you do. Like I said, my replacement only lasted me around 2 days before a spot showed up again.
