N800 screen protector

Hi!

First of all, I've received my brand new N800 today: the difference with my ~old~ N770 is impressive!

This may sound as a stupid question but... I've noticed that, out of the box, the screen was protected by a screen protector which can be removed using by a sticker (?) at bottom left. Is this really a screen protector which is supposed to be used every day, or simply a protector film to removed at first use? I've kept mine but removed the sticker: the N800 is usable like that even if some on-screen keys are sometime repeated twice. What do other users think? Have you kept the protection too? TIA.

Laurent, in Nantes (France).

PS: The new responsiveness is really incredible!

Re: N800 screen protector [In reply to]

I've kept my initial protecter on as well and it is actually pretty
scratched up after less than a week of use. Seems the stylus does
quite a number on it when you are scrolling about. There was a
thread earlier in week which listed some solutions people have found.

RE: N800 screen protector [In reply to]

Hi,

This film on top of screen is supposed to be removed, it is like you
have
all screens, including monitors when you buy them, and it is not
supposed to be left there.
I kept mine sometime on there until it got scatched.

Best Wishes,
Karoliina

Re: N800 screen protector [In reply to]

Thank you very much for your answer: the *real* screen protector for
my brand new N800 has just arrived by postmail, so I'm going to
replace the stock film protection soon!

Re: N800 screen protector [In reply to]

N800 display seems to suffer from "scratch syndrome" something
fierce...anybody else seen this?

I have 4yr old ipaq that is less fubar than my n800 after only a couple
of weeks of use...no I don't put it in my pocket with keys, etc.

It is always in its sleeve when I'm not holding it....scratchy stylus
perhaps? Display surface seems extremely "soft".

My display looks like hell and I'm a little miffed...at least PepperPad3
has more hard-core screen that seems more scratch resistant.

Are you saying that you're not using any screen protection at all?
You shoud! I've one on all of my devices: N800, N770, Treo, digital
camera, ... It helps, trust me, it helps!

Re: N800 screen protector [In reply to]

I've never needed screen protection for my stylus....5yrs on my ipaq and
display is just as good as my N800 after 2 weeks of usage.

I guess I'll have to examine my stylus with a microscope or magnifying
glass.

CompUSA guy threw in free 1yr replacement policy...so I'll guess I'll be
activating it shortly.

Mike -

Did you remove the initial protector that it came shipped with? Or
are you perhaps still using it?

I've noticed lots of scratches (that are most visible with a dark
screen) since receiving and using it today that leads me to believe
that - like Karoliina said - it's *only* protection against shipping
damage, and is not meant to be used long term. I've had a (badly cut)
protector on the 770 since buying it in Dec '05 and wouldn't /dream/
of not having /something/ covering that lovely screen ... :-)

All the best,
Jonathan

Yes initial protection was removed. N800 screen feels like pudding it's
so soft though.

The thing is...I don't need protection on my other devices...N800
display seems different.

Where did you get the real screen protector?
Does a screen protector mess with the touch screen interface?

I strongly recommend Brando Ultraclear screen protector. It is already
available for N770 (I've been using one since I got my N770 in October
2005). They are available at
http://shop.brando.com.hk/ultraclearscreenprotector.php .
I've just ordered a new N770 protection for my brand new N800 (thanks
Nokia for discount coupon btw), since screen are the same size.

> Does a screen protector mess with the touch screen interface?

Not at all.

From mobidistrib in France:
http://www.mobidistrib.fr/boutique/fiche_produit.cfm?
ref=SPUCNOKIA770&code_lg=lg_fr&type=15&num=1
I've used the same on my N770 for 1 year: it was just perfect!

Re: N800 screen protector [In reply to]

Just received and installed my boxwave ClearTouch Anti-Glare screen
protector. Seems quite nice and well worth the $12.95.

I kept the initial plastic on until now (~2 weeks) and man was it
beaten up - though I think that was largely due to my 3yr old daughter
using the sketchpad. ;)
