yes, it does. but even though the whole screen looks like it is off it is slightly on.. go into a pitch black room with it on and you can kind of notice the whole screen is lit, just a tad. it still makes me paranoid considering its a amoled screen and they have a bad rep of not having a good life span :/ i wish there was a LCD that had as good blacks as a oled screen lol, thats asking for too much though

now if it wasnt a Nokia that is pretty rare in the US i wouldn't give two craps about it haha, and leave it on all the time. i treated my htc amaze like crap, but i treat this phone like a baby xD
