These two didn't have capacitive screens.... If this is actually the case then it seems more of an issue with HTC capacitive technology and how well they seal the areas around their screens. I do know they leave room for ventilation, etc.

If dust gets in, it can come out too. Simply remove battery, make sure you are well grounded, and thoroughly blow it out with compressed air designed for electronics; available at Radio Shack or Wal-Mart.

Part of the periodic maintenance on my Hero.

So simple, a caveman could...

Well, for those interested... Here's a 15 Step Teardown of the EVO... I think I'll stick to the compressed air as mentioned earlier...

Still, it's cool to see what's actually under the hood...

it amazes me how dust or w.e can make it under the screen even if a person never puts the phone in their pocket. arent these things constructed in controlled environments especially in relation to particulates ?

I hope this isn't an issue, but in the event it is, which is the better insurance (TEP) for it? BestBuy's or Sprints? Or it is simply covered by the manufacturers warranty?
