Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

lol I opened the youtube video in the middle of the class and the soud worked

lesson of the day :

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

Hi where can I find the iphone and HD test's that you have done.
thank you

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

I can recommend the Vikuiti-DQC-160 screen protector for Nokia N900.

Does not interfere with stylus or finger use in my opinion and can be replaced/removed without residue too. Very clear. (There is a batch out there that is slightly too big and requires a bit cutting, no problem that either with an e.g. office straight-line paper cutter, but the newer batch is good size.)

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

I'm not saying it's not useful. :)

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

Work with tools alot near the n900?

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

thanks for these videos.

Enjoy!

I believe we are quite unbiased :). The mobile world has why too much fanboyism and favouritism, which can inevitably make customers make the wrong purchase. Most of them will most likely not admit to the flaws, since they just shelled out $400-$600 USD or GBP for a brand new phone.

With these videos, and our future posts, we plan on telling it what it is.

Because we have and continue to shy away from saying "zomg, I love Nokia. They are the best.. just cause!", we have received quite a bit of negative comments from quite a few Nokia users. But, we feel that this is worth it if we can speak our minds and help a few people make the right mobile financial decisions.

P.S. We plan on devoting an episode based on user requested tests and experiments. Leave a test suggestion in one of our Youtube videos. Who knows, you might just get what you wish for ;).

P.P.S. You guys of the Maemo forum have been absolutely wonderful to us (with the exception of a couple). Thank you guys so much for your support.

Seems quite a strudy device, maybe dropping it with the keyboard open would have been destructive though.

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

lol... it doesn't work when playing music, yes it sound stupid but i hate the silent in between browsing for another video *music is on low of course*

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

Is the duratec HiTech surface sticky or smooth? I have the cleartec now, but it itself is gathering crazy amount of scratches, so I was thinking of trying HiTec version instead. You can still swipe on the cleartec, not much extra friction/stiction compared to bare. What about hitec?

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

The HighTec has a very rubbery texture, so adds a fair bit of stiction. I found I was getting used to it though, so it's not too bad.

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

Can't beat the HD2's screen.

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

Well that was fun to watch however practical or unpractical it may be. These guys provide a valuable service as Nokia or it manufacturers don't appear to do much testing or QA ;).

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

They've put up a disassembly video.. awesome!

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

It's also hilarious, the commentary, music (in the drop test) and his exagerated reactions.

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

Ive noticed the same thing. Have had the phone only 3 days, kept it in a pouch and have 2 fine scratches already! Possibly from light usage of the stylus! Needless to say im not impressed. My screen protector / rubber casing arrives tomorrow and will be putting it on: I also have a dead pixel in the bottom right so dont want to make it any worse than it is now!

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

Which pouch do you use/recomend? I hate screen protectors, I'd rather use a pouch

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

I just bought a second N900, used. It has several tiny scratches on the screen. I think this is normal and I shouldn't worry about it.

However, I was assured by several respected denizens of this site that my idea that the N900 screen was easily scratched was false. Therefore, perhaps I should freak out about these scratches and demand a replacement unit from Nokia.

Is my new (used) N900 defective?

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

@geneven:

what i know is, the n900 screen is more prone to scratches than other resistive screens of nokia (i dont know for others) my first scratch on my n900 was the fault of my long nails, the first scratch of my n97 was done by falling from a 10 steps stairs.

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

My suspicion is that anyone buying an N900 that has been used for six months that hasn't been used with a screen protector will find at least some tiny scratches, like this one has, so I agree.

Re: N900 screen scratch test
 

I was surprised too when I saw a couple of light scratches due to stylus use. That was just over a period of 2-3 days until the Zagg Shield arrived.
If scratches are visible, adding a screen protector makes them go away, at least in my experience they're not visible anymore.
