If there are no dead pixels then good for you. If there aren't any when you power it on then the probability of it appearing later is extremely low. Dead pixels normally occur during the screens first operation. or after many years in operation.

Anyway, if there is a stuck pixel (different from dead), an easy way to resolve it is to press hard on that area until you see that the screen is being slightly squashed. This will cause the fluid inside to move which will then reactive the pixels.

my little review on my N5 black.

using it since about 1830? batt life from 72% drop to 59%. all they while screen brightness auto. keep downloading apps. setup phone etc. display is bright n nice. camera wise. don expect too much. hope software fix come soon. the back of the device will have "water mark" if your hand is sweating. but can wipe off. power button is shaky when i shake my phone can hear the button shake sound.( but not a issue to me.) maybe its me but my hand will tend to cover the speaker hole while player game thus making the sound damn soft.( maybe its just me) overall i'm still loving it!. will use for a couple more days to see the batt life.

btw jp set starhub LTE works fine.

Hi, Just to feedback, I managed to get my order to pending status. I had to create a another Google japan account and this time I tried my citibank card and it went thru, I also decided to try vpost. Now I regret it, as I read that vpost is much more expensive and is very slow. I think DBS cards have problem with Google Japan, I should have just changed to citibank and kept the jshoppers address. Oh well, hope the status changes soon.

DBS/POSB will auto block one, unless you get them to unblock

No you read wrong.

It's not much more expensive, and a little slow cause they don't update their tracking making you think it's slow.

I'm pleasantly surprised with the battery too. my battery is at 67% after 6hr30mins of usage. Unsurprisingly, the screen will sap the most battery.

Quite disappointed with the camera though. Hope it will improve with a software fix or something.
