Blackberry Screen Fade Problem
This is a very common problem with Blackberry when the color of display screen gets faded and the color either disappears or gets very dim, I am not sure what causes it but it seems it happens because of humidity i.e. moist air going under the screen which caused white spots on the screen and changes colors.

For those people who are using unlocked blackberries like many in India, find nearby blackberry service cneter or find anyone who is selling the mobiles and ask them to change the display.
