Looks like all the persons who have repeatable WSOD problems had the screen replaced but reused all the other parts of the old device. It means they may have some other part defective that causes screen breakage eventually. So it is just a waste to put a perfectly good screen into a defective device and wait till it breaks again. Probably a device that had experienced WSOD at least once should be replaced with a new one instead of trying to repair it.
One more idea is that the users who had too many WSODs could all use some buggy software that could theoretically cause continuous reboot cycles sometimes (think about nightly reboots reported by some people) which could stress screen and LCD controller too much and cause it to 'wear out' its resource prematurely.
Anyway, only time will show how many Nokia 770 devices survive in couple of years. I hope that mine will live a long and happy life, I'm treating it with care

Serge brings up the most likely explanation. From my unique perspective, the WSoD occurs very, very rarely (not trying to downplay your personal experiences) and for any person to encounter a series of three-- well, I can't calculate the probability offhand at the moment but I can assure you it's extremely low.
However... if Repair in their infinite wisdom kept sticking new screens on a defective device, now THAT makes (some sort of) sense. But it calls into question (again) the repair/replacement process.

And I know it's hindsight for you, but I want to reiterate for the general population: strip down your devices when you send them for repair. No batteries, no covers, no stylus, nothing but the essential unit.
One more idea is that the users who had too many WSODs could all use some buggy software that could theoretically cause continuous reboot cycles sometimes (think about nightly reboots reported by some people) which could stress screen and LCD controller too much and cause it to 'wear out' its resource prematurely.
