N800 out of box has plastic film over screen?
 

Does the N800 have a plastic film over the screen when I comes new out of the box? I think I see one if I look at the edges of my screen but don't know the best way to get it off, or whether it is really the screen touch sensor?

Thanks

It is just a plastic film. I just got mine today and it took me a second to figure this out too. I just used a mechanical pencil with a metal tip to pry the corner up. I wouldn't use something too sharp but it needs to be pointy. Maybe a fingernail would work too. As long as you don't have sticker residue like I had on mine, you could probably just leave the film on there to protect it. It would be a free screen protector!!

Good luck.

Use a piece of scotch tape on the edge. That way you don't accidentally scratch the screen. Cause that would suck.

Really, you should just leave it on until you can get a real screen protector on there. It'll scratch up pretty fast, but it keeps the screen protected. Order yourself one of the Boxwave anti-glare protectors soon, though.

I used the factory shipping protector on my N800 for 6 months before replacing it with a Boxwave protector—it was very scratched. ;)

can i just leave the film on the screen n use it as my screen protector?

That's the best - do a search on "screen protector"
I'm a cheap SOB so I made my own, but they only last a few months.

I guess everyone just pulled off the silver tab thing eh?

I'll just leave the factory protection film on. I ordered some screen protectors from an ebay merchant but they haven't arrived yet.

Yeah, but that thing is great for getting the battery out. Just stick it to the side of the battery :)

Very good idea!

I got my N800 yesterday and the unit did not have a protective film. Unfortunately there was 2 stickers on the screen. Any thoughts on the least abrasive way to remove the residual glue from the stickers?

Re: N800 out of box has plastic film over screen?
 

Well, first, are you sure? :p

Second, I used to work in a used book, and we used Ronsonol lighter fluid to remove stickers off just about anything and everything. Just any lighter fluid wont work, though, you need something naptha based.

i just bought this and am happy with it
went on easily and doesn't affect the screen except to protect it

Yes. I also have one. Have had it all the time since my N800 was new. No problem.
