I REALLY hope they've got it sorted for this one!
On a related note - anyone know where I can get a good case for the C550? |

No dust here (yet)! I'm waiting for a neoprene 'Body Glove' type to appear.

The difference with the Nokias is you can disassemble them and clean under the top cover without needing a screwdriver

I still don't get it - a less-than-a-penny rubber seal is all HTC need to invest in to stop all this nonsense. Surely they've received the feedback by now?
I keep my C550 in iPod sock and (so far) I'm not seeing any dust, by I fear it is only a matter of time. Are there any instructions/pics of how to disassemble to clean? |

I think you may find it depends on a few factors.
1) Where you store your phone, loose in a pocket, or in a case. 2) Do you leave your phone for a while in dust atmospheres? 3) Where you work... Do you work in a SPV unfriendly environment. Wow, anyone work on a building site? Do you still see things on your screen? I know that even after 12 months use my SPV c500 (which was very badly hit by dust issues) is still fine and no dust can be seen, only a few specs at the top left of the screen, and I mean a few specs. My advice would be to keep it as dust free as possible. I keep mine loose in my pocket most of the time, I just have a wallet in there aswell. When Im using it at home I never really leave it for prolonged periods in one place. Maybe it also depends on airflow? Windy? Im not sure on this one. It would be nice if we could narrow it down. -------------------- QUOTE "Your pony died because it wasn't pretty enough" -- Jeremy, PurePwnage Phone History: Nokia 3330 -> SPV -> Nokia 7210i -> SPV c500 -> SPV m500 -> SPV c500 -> SPV c600 Phone Future: The next SPV that has WiFi - come on Orange! |

.....Or HTC could build a phone that does not get infested with dust after normal usage.
Surely it's not rocket science. -------------------- Phone History: 7110 > T68 > T68i > 7650 > SPV > E100 > 6600 > P900 > Treo 600 > E200 > C500 > Jam > SDA > C550 > QTEK8100 > iMate SP5 & JasJar > HTC MTeoR > Samsung i600 > HTC S620 > Dash

James, I notice you have Celltrack info in your sig. Presumably this is not from your C550 as I haven't got it work myself, and am very disappointed ? |

I kept my C500 in my pocket and it was perfectly fine for 4 or 5 months (and I was smug) and then the rot set in! Whatever the cause is, it seems so well within the realms of normal use (judging by the number of C500 users who have experienced it) that it seems largely unavoidable. Well, at least there is one area where my old MPx200 was streets ahead of my C500 - the screen on that is pretty well sealed.
