Got it. I do have an HTC G2, which I believe also has an AMOLED screen and it doesn't have this issue. That's why it seemed abnormal to me. Right now, I am really torn between keeping the phone and returning it for a refund. I am desperately looking for good reasons fof keeping it, but it seems hard to justify $650 just for beautiful hardware and originality. I will get Samsung Galaxy Nexus if I do sell my N9.
