Anyone else notice any stuck or dead pixels on their brand new Palm Pre?

Looks like mine has 6 stuck pixels, all in the lower right quadrant of the screen.

I created a test page you can visit with your pre that will display a solid color for each of the primary colors plus black and white, which should help you locate any stuck or dead pixels. Just tap the page to rotate the color. The black page allowed me to see my stuck pixels the best but now I see them all the time :-(

Post here if you have any stuck/dead pixels. On some LCDs you can actually massage them out, but the pre has glass or plastic over the panel so can't even try that.

Update: edited this post to point to the page that rotates colors instead of a separate page for each color.
