my screen has an imprint of the virtual keyboard...(just circular dots where the keys would be)
That plastic film is so mangled with the lighting off/outdoors in bright sunlight...
hmm..I should start checking out the other thread for potential brands for screen protectors...I feel I'm gonna need one soon.

B. You touch it. Other than the human mouth, most people's hands have a lot more harmful stuff than most people know. Most paper products exude more chemicals than most people know.

TurtleWax is an inert product suitable for protecting surfaces.

Anybody familiar with any plastic product design and manufacturing would laugh at that above statement. Just smell when you open a plastic product from any enclosure. You are smelling the finishing products used to clean and prep the item prior to shipment.

I guess....

My daily used 770 looks pretty darn good after 1.5 years of use.

It's meant for cars, your telling me a layer of wax won't screw with the touch screen aspect or collect on the stylus durring use?

I'm very surprised at the defects you report, Adam. It would actually help Nokia (and you as well obviously) if you returned that for a good device.

Until there is a more mortal injury to the device, I have no reason to return this evolutionary improvement of the Nokia n800. Should I get another, then I would consider it.

I noticed within an hours ownership of my N93, it had a slight defect. I thought on the same lines as you, it's not grave, it still functions well...
...a couple of months later...now it's dead. And I had the opportunity to have a swap and all.
Yes, our situations are different, yours is 'minor' aesthetic mine was a 'minor' bug. Just thinking to myself, if I were to be presented with an opportunity to have a near 'flawless' device from the beginning, I'd go for it.
I've noticed some 'flaws' already with my N800's screen, like a browny tint on the right when the screen is bright white...it's a tad brown on the right. It wasn't like that on the other N800's I've seen...

Yep, simple lessons. Life is not fair. Nothing is perfect from the factory. After all, the Nokia did not simply grow inside the box.
Funny thing,though. None of any of my Nokias I have owned have ever died or broken. Says a lot.

Come to think of it - I've seemed to swap all of mine within 3 months of use for an identical model...and they've mostly all ended up dying/lost/stolen/stored to the point of being lost
The only thing that survives to this day is faithful old 3310.
