Is this a common problem with every Smartphone LCD or just with N900?

Yep got my 2 spots too, thought I'd been heavy handed but obviously not, no water damage to the phone and not dropped either.
Same position as the photo earlier in the thread too.
Anyone tested removing the battery for a period of hours/day yet as slaapliedje indicated they would do to see if they fade away?

These spots does'nt show up if I am playing a 3-D game or watching a bright video. Is this some kind of physical damage to the screen or just normal defect that is common with every mobile LCD?

I also noticed 3 white spots. Haven't read the whole thread but is there a magnet under the screen? I heard there is some sort of magnet somewhere that unlocks the screen. If so, it will have this sort of effect on the display after some time perhaps.

There's a magnet and what is likely a Hall effect sensor for keyboard pop. Had no bearing on a LCD, AFAIK.

Just wanted to let anyone in the US know that I had the white spot problem and sent the N900 in for repair.
They changed the LCD for me and problem is gone. I got my N900 back within 1 week. See this post I made in another thread.

Yes my replacement unit had these white spots too and in the middle of the screen. Annoying... I need to wait ~3 weeks again for another replacement. 
quality control go!
