Went to telstra shop to play with the L920 again and I was looking at the FFC to see if there is dust under there as some users have reported – no problem with the demo unit.
However, I've noticed that the screen is seated differently into the body than the L900, L800 and also the N9. The L920 has an extra trim/gasket/bezel around the screen and there is a very visible gap between this trim/gasket/bezel and the polycarbonate body. In the previous lumias and N9, the glass flows straight underneath the body with almost no gap.
Upon noticing this, I've tried to fit my finger nail to see the extent of this gap and my nail went in and I can see the polycarbonate bend outwards from the screen due to the pressure. I've then attempted to do the same with my N9 and wasn't able to do so at all. There is no way I can fit anything into the gap between screen and body.
I've had my N9 for 1 year now and there is hardly any dirt between screen and body due to this solid construction. Can anyone with a L920 comment on this? Is anyone seeing trapped dirt after a week or 2 of daily use? It's screaming bad design and dirt magnet to me! Does anyone know why nokia went with a different construction for the screen? It seem to be such a step backwards! I've noticed one thread on http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/206449-gaps-dust-sides-screen.html this but didn't have many replies.
I'm so keen to buy the L920 but still wishes to wait until quality-control improves hardware wise.
