I'm disappointed, but willing to live with these few since they are in a place that isn't too distracting and since there are only three. Hopefully they won't multiply. I plan on keeping this one unless there is some kind of recall or trade-in on a newer model.

SOny really has to get some quality control going here. How much would it take to put someone in a dark room and test these out before they ship them out.

WDE.

Sorry to hear about your continuing issues with dust spots, WDE. Your experience has actually put me off from taking my 700 in for maintenance. What's the point of giving up my reader for weeks and not even getting the problem resolved? Oh well, I've kind of gotten used to the dust spots so unless they multiply like crazy I guess I'll leave well enough alone.
