Dust under iPhone screen

I also have a medium sized speck of dust under my iphone screen. I do have a small scratch on my iphone. Will apple replace my iPhone?
 
I hope you're ready for a long and educational post. Here's what happened... ...I finally decided that I wanted to just take my iPhone apart and get the dust out myself. After watching a couple youtube videos on how to disassemble the iPhone 3G... it looked really easy to take apart the stuff that *I* needed to get at in my particular situation. Here's what I did: (etc)

Thanks TheSpaz!! I just performed the operation you recommended yesterday, and everything worked out marvelously!
 
I had the same issue with my iPhone 3G and with my iPod touch 1st gen. I returned both devices to an Apple premium reseller. The salesman said that Apple might not cover the repair and that I might have to pay for gegrint my devices fixed. But I said he just needed to send it to Apple. A few weeks later I received a brand new iPod touch and a brand new iPhone 3G. Now, About 3 months later, there is again dust under the screen of my iPhone... I think I'll just open my phone with a screwdriver and remove it myself. Apple seems to have a problem with keeping their products dust-free. I recently bought an iMac and there was a lot of dust behnd the screen.. But the iMac screen is easier to clean.
