and if i can ask a question:
Does screen protector work, E.G can the touch screen still be used like normal, no loss of precision or anything?

im thinking about getting one and a new touch screen since i have 2 very small scratches....
Yeah, make that a No1 priority. I've got a screen protector on mine and the screen still works fine.:)

Mine too has fallen down a couple of time.The first fall was on a concrete road while i was texting a friend of mine just pushed me and the phone slipped from my hand from chest level to the concrete road.

I was shocked..but when i picked up the phone it just had a small scratch near the slider and everything was still working great.Next i dropped it from my bed while it was charging.

This bad boy is surely build like a tank..

N900: strong like a house brick, and the size/ weight of one.

:D

I can recommend the clarivue screen protectors.

11 USD for 2, these only have a hole for the speaker so your proximity sensor and front camera are protected too.

No loss of sensitivity, if anything it's made the screen more rigid to.

Now, you guys are fully aware that your comments here could void any remaining warranty life on your N900 right? :p

Nokia 501 was a real tank.
I dropped that off the 3rd floor of a block of flats, all it did was cracked the facia (replaceable for less that £5).
I drop kicked it over some rugby posts, all that happened is it stuck in the mud by the aerial.

Loved that phone, shame it was actually a brick.

There is another thread where the guy tells how his was ejected from the car during a multirollover car crash and survived, there a few other tough N900 stories in that thread as well.

I'm impressed as far as the phone itself goes - The innards are very pretty, and look very well designed and indestructible.
The screen on the other hand... Not -quite- so good.

My n900's survived dropping a number of times, banging around, being sat on etc... However, about three weeks ago, I managed to crack the screen:
I had on a pair of jeans with tighter-than-usual front pockets, and in a hurry to leave my house, I jammed my n900 inside it's fabric case, and that inside my pocket. When I pulled it out a couple of hours later, it had a crack on it(touchscreen was fine, though).
I'm guessing one of the other things in my fabric case's other pocket managed to get jammed into the screen - I had a USB cable, spare battery, and a bit of gum in there.

Anyway, it worked for two weeks with the screen slowly failing before it finally died suddenly one day(~50 working pixels, rest black), and now I'm waiting for a replacement I got off ebay for $50.
