Windows Phone Thoughts: Cell phone dust woes

Visitor Phillip Meyer sent us a photo of his Ericsson T68. It appears as if some dust spilled over from a couple of Pocket PCs! I wrote a little about my take on the dust problems in a recent post. I wrote: "I have seen a couple of devices with severe dust problems, and those should be fixed free of charge. Period. However, take out a magnifying glass, actually spend time looking for specs, and YELL if you find one or two? No sympathies from me. Show me one device with a touch sensitive screen that for ever stays new. My Nokia phone's screen does have scratches and all sorts of other more or less disturbing deficiencies, but I expect that after some time of daily usage."

In my opinion, this Ericsson T68 should fall under the category: "fixed free of charge"! As cell phone makers desparetely cut costs, quality suffers. Both Nokia and Ericsson have recently been hit significantly from bad consumer reports revealing poor quality. Apparently, telecom slow down doesn't just affect kids.
