I would like to ask you to share some touch screen maintenance tips.

I have w950 from a few days and this is my first touchscreen device. Please tell if the screen is going to get scratched from the stylus use, or if the screen gets scratched easily (i always use gloves for the phones i have) ... or anything that annoys you concerning the exterior of those devices.

Thank you!

I don't if the stylus scratches or damages the screen because I bought a pack of PDA screen protectors made for touch screens. It was cheap to buy and gives assurance against scratching, I suggest you buy a good screen protector that works with touch screen devices. Some screen protectors can be too thick leaving your touch screen less sensitive. It will be a good investment and whenever you want to sell the phone your screen will still be as new.

Buy a *good* quality (emphasis on good) screen protector. The 1˘ protectors on fleabay aren't any good.

Martin Fields is the best and ships world wide.

Brando is another option (free shipping bet 01/11-31/12)

Sorry but i do not use credit card, unfortunately the only option is to pay cash when delivered, and this is no option for the internationl e shops, the bulgarian ones do so, but they obviously do not carry the above mentioned brands.

it is a damn sad and stupid situation, i will just pay a visit to some of the gsm shops arround and see what i can find there.

Screens seen pretty tough with reasonable care - I've had my P1 nearly a year now - never used a screen protector - I can't see a mark on it!

It goes in a pocket and I never put coins or keys in the same pocket - and that seems to work fine!

I just got a PSP protector screen and with the help of the skilled hands of a colleague of mine i got the proper size of foil cut and it has 3-5 really small bubbles everything else is great.

It even fit so fine that now i am a bit worried how am i going to get rid of it someday

The brand was something very exotic SnakeBite Accessories or something

Removal is easy.

And the bubbles should disappear in 1-2 days unless there is dust underneath.

@myth

Could you explain how you remove screen protectors easily? I've always had a problem with them. Particularly on a recessed screen such as that of the P1.

@Snake

The vertical size of the screen protectors I've used until today (MF and Brando, on several devices) was always a bit smaller than the screen, so that either the upper or lower corners of the protector were always accessible.
