Unhappy Re: HTC Touch screen dark area?

Yes, I have used the stock screen protector. I recently bought a new Antiglare (Writesheild) screen protector, but since it cost me around $20 after shipping, I'm waiting to put it on my Touch until I can ensure the screen won't have spots appear on me. I'm glad to hear that some are not having the same issue though, that gives me hope. Do you put your Touch in your pocket, wondering if that could have something to do with it.

No but seriously I noticed the spot maybe a day after getting the phone, and it may not actually getting worse, but it sure is getting more annoying.
Although not annoying enough to go into a service center just yet.
I wish the online replacement would work. It would be so much easier.
I keep getting this message since the page came back up:

"We apologize for the inconvenience; however, at this time, inventory is not available to fulfill your request. For further options and assistance, please visit a Sprint Phone Repair Center. To find a Phone Repair Center, visit www.sprint.com/storelocator and select �Find a Phone Repair Center�."

Out of Touches
Me too, the spots showed up only a day or two after I got my replacement. The first Touch I had went like 5 weeks prior to the spots showing up. The interesting thing here is that so far once the spots show up on the LCD they don't grow or more don't start to appear months later. After the spots initially appeared on my first Touch I kept it for several months prior to taking it in for a new one and no additional areas showed up. I sent an e-mail on 8/18 to Sprint and HTC and have not received a response from either yet.
