why would you want to buy that? and how much are you paying. there definitely is something wrong. Does that stay even when you unlock the phone and use apps?

that certainly seems to be an issue, perhaps a result of an impact, unless you are getting it for a steal and want to live with that spot, i would suggest to keep away!

The pic is too small to even judge what it might be. Have you seen the phone in person. If its just the photo, then I can also possibly due to a light flashing on the phone when the pic was taken.

Very difficult to conclude from the pic that you have posted. If you are buying it online from someone else, ask for a video of the display in action. If you can, check it in person fully before committing to buy.

@rahul21, how about going with that guy to the service centre and check if that issue can be fixed. If it can be fixed, how much you need to pay? coz paying 9k for a phone having unrepairable display issues is not worth it. And is it 3G or is it 3GS?

If it's Rs 9k there is surely something wrong

Have seen similar displays , the problem increases further with such spots randomly appearing over the screen after sometime. My phone itself developed 3 such spots and it kept on increasing .Finally gave my phone for repair . Since the outer glass,LCD and digitizer in iPhone 2G are fuzed together the complete display has to be replaced .Costs ~4.5k.

I would suggest you don't buy the phone unless the seller can get the display changed and give you for ~9-10k.
