After researching this further, it appears we may be using the wrong terminology. A dead pixel is actually a black spot on the screen whereas a stuck pixel is a white spot or some other color. Check out the article below for further details and some tips on how to possibly fix it:

It might be good to put the screen protector on and try the techniques he's suggesting.

Edit: And here's a link to a software solution via a Java Midlet: http://www.jscreenfix.com/

This doesn't seem to work on my device. It won't load or download that. Were you able to get it to load?

You need to have a java player installed on your device. I have it running now. Will post back results.

Update - Program did not fix it.

The space bar is not sucken I sorta thought that when the screen was rotated up at me but then I looked and its actually how you have your thumb positioned on the keypad move your finger forward toward the screen you will see what I mean

ohh yeah my spacebar key is sunk in too it really sucks because if i dont push it right (and i rarely do) it puts two spaces and that adds a period after the word prior and capitalizes the next letter

Then it caught fire. It was also in Engadget.

yea no crap, i actually made my 3 year old cry by touching her with my pro1 while charging, poor thing... tp1 was a hazard.lol but still a great phone regardless of the third degree burns
