If it's still in warranty: yes. (which it is because it hasn't been out for a year yet)
oh ok. thanks for the help. will for sure be going to my local Apple store this week.
I recently took apart my iphone 3g ( and cracked the LCD)
learned that the lcd panel just sits behind the digitizer. Apple should have at least put in a rubber gasket around the lcd to keep dust out 🙁

I had dust under my 3GS at one point all they do is take off the screen and put a new one in and it's all fixed! Quick painless process.
Hey,
Has anyone in the UK had any luck in getting this repaired at an Apple Store in the UK? I've got a LOT of dust under my 3GS screen and I'd like to have this done. I haven't got Apple Care but am I right in thinking this would be covered by standard warranty?

I went in with my 3G about 6 months ago because of dust under the screen. The guy at the Apple Store said that dust under the screen is not covered under warranty ( phone was purchased a year ago at christmas and I have the applecare plan). He was able to give me a one probono replacement screen as a measure of good faith but he said next time it will be $200 for a new screen. Maybe they will say that dust is warrantable, but just thought i would let you know my experience. Hope this helps.

yes I had several 3g's one was swapped 3 times in the 15 minutes all with dust and I'm on my second 3gs.
Apple uk are happy to swap. They don't mess around though they just swap the unit.
Ah that's good to know, thanks! Just out of interest did you have Apple Care? I don't but am still not happy being tied into a 24 month contract with what I believe is a defective phone.
