Bright white spots on the screen?

Hey guys, my iPhone has developed these two bright white spots on the screen. I don't think it's a hardware problem because they are not there for every application. But I have tried restarting it, completely resetting it, etc with no success. The problem is I bought in July 2007 so my warranty is up. Am I screwed?

15" MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.4), iPhone 8GB

If it is a hardware problem and it is out of warranty, you can still get it repaired for the out of warranty price.

Mine has (had) two white-ish spots or areas on the sides. They seem to have gone away by the phone sitting over night. The spots could be seen mostly on dark backgrounds or when you tilt the phone just right.

You can also look at LCD replacement from outside repair companies like iResQ.com. If you're not sure what's going on with the spots, you can also get a diagnosis within 24 hours from them before you decide to repair or resell. Replacement can be had for $130, back to you the day after receiving your order. Also, their techs are Apple-certified. Check it out if you're still having problems:
