Default Does your HP Jornada 565/568 have a dust problem?

I swear, if I like a certain model of Pocket PC, it ends up having a dust problem. Last time it was my famously dusty iPAQ (so dusty that I was accused of faking the photos). Now my HP 565 is getting too dusty for my liking. How about your Jornada 56x Pocket PC? How much dust do you have in it? Cast your vote!

What I don't get is why isn't HP being more forthcoming with this? They know Compaq was having the same problems, so they know that consumers are aware of this.

Are they trying to reduce repair/RMA's?

I've had my 567 since November, and it has a couple pieces of dust in the display. I exchanged my unit three times before getting one that didn't develop into a total snowstorm within a week.

It's just frustrating that the company seems to refuse to acknowledge or fix the problem. Too busy with the upcomming merge proxy fight I guess

Hehe. Obviously, the dust problem isn't restricted to Pocket PCs only -

The only real answer in my opinion is -

One dust spec is one too many

Default Dust levels

Had to vote no dust on this 568. Notice I said this. The other 4 that I had went back with blizzards. This one had been clean since 11/15/01, got it shipped to me in Vegas during Comdex, and haven't had any dust yet. 2 + months and no snow yet.

Had mine for about 3+ months now. Not a a single sign of dust anywhere. Guess I'm lucky. For the rest of you, I hope PPC manufacturers start sealing all screens :!:
