My first N9 did have screen problems, but the latest N9 I got, white 64gb, made in finland does not have screen issues. I believe that the first batches suffered.

Its funny to think that N9 was just a practice run for Lumia, to work out the kinks. For example, my lumia side buttons are perfect, but on my first N9 they were loose, and on my second N9 they are too flush with the edge and you really have to push it to work
