I'd rather have an iPhone that had a busted touchscreen than a brand-new, fully functional, Blackberry. Wait, maybe not.

Turning down the brightness on your phone should get you better view the screen when recording or photographing it.

That dead pixel area is a total drag. I assume it was not like that from day one... when did it start?

Good tip, thanks! No, I've had this phone since June 29, 2007 (the day it was released). This only started this week.
