hi all my n900 has still screen protetor on it. i just want to ask ......

if i remove it, there would there be more scratches on my screen. and after too much scratches how would it be? i mean my screen protector is still blur too much. in other words i want to ask

A screen protector n900 screen with scratches, or n900 screen (without screen protector) with scratches. what is better to use?

(sorry for my english)

A combination of both is best: N900 without screen protector and without scratches. ;)
Just put the device in a casing that protects the screen when you put it in your pocket. The CP-321 (not the car tyre btw.) works fine for me so far, but depending on your situation other cases might suit your needs better.

Im not sure if any one has gotten this problem yet but I replaced my n900 as soon as the charger jack popped out!

Get rid of the screen protector and enjoy your beautiful screen. Your N900 will die before you scratch the screen enough to make it look as bad as it does with the screen protector. In other words, screen protectors are not worth it!

voted 'until something better comes out'. but what's the chance of that happening, a phone with such openness and the hw keyboard...i think my phone'll drop dead first. i aptly named it BRICK:D

i am keeping my N900, my black 16gb N9 and my white N9 for eternity.

they will be the ultimate collector's items in the future.

i still have my two 7650s. they are so rare and beautiful : )

I will keep my N900 till the End. OK, now my N9 64GB is my main Smartphone, but i also have N900.

Mine died in September, so I bought a new one. I have a friend in the same situation, only he bought the new one as a backup device before the old one broke :)
I have plugged the usb cable in about 3times in last 3months, so I hope it will last forever ;)

I'm also thinking of buying N9 and Jolla's new device out of curiosity, but I'm hardly ever going to get rid of the N900.

Mine stopped working and I am even buying an used one now :)

Re: How Many Will Keep their N900 until it dies ( Poll Added )
 

this is the only phone i have used for almost 3 years. all my other phones only marry me for 2 years or less.

i bought a spare unit and i that is in cold storage until the current unit dies.

i have a htc 8x. while i see the market for that and understand its appeal, i am not the correct target user for it. so the 8x sits on a table in a box brand new unused (ok, i gave it to my girl to use as of yesterday).

long live the n900!!!

The thing with the n900 that is perhaps most over-looked is its versatility depending on the user. The N9 is my daily driver but the N900 with thumb is my definite second sim device leaving all my other devices collecting dust. Yes some of the devices are faster in terms of appearance but the only true versatile device is the n900. I call it my TANK :D

I can use the N900 as a portable media player with fm transmitter or a more flexible device to learn scripts on the go... Oh also it has a WiFi chip that beats the range of my laptop too hence even in those tight corners at home my laptop is unable to get a signal, the N900 never fails me. The possibilities are truly amazing; you think something is not possible on the N900 search for it and to your amazement its doable :D

Keeping it till it dies here (hope it never does though)...

Did anyone here *NOT* file down their micro USB connectors? That means your charger, data cable, any other accessories that connect to the N900.

I did mine when I got my N900, which is 2 1/2 years ago now. The USB port is still rock-solid and I charge the phone almost every day. It's the best thing short of opening your N900 and securing the port that you can do.

Okay, don't file off TOO much of the connectors obviously! Just go around the outside of the parallelogram with a fine metal file.

File top, bottom, left and right.

I took off the two little shark's teeth entirely, as they are the main thing that puts stress on the port and weakens its bond to the mainboard.

Yes remove the two holding pins with a small file.
But theres really no need to file round the plug.
All this will do is rough the edges up a bit and make the plug wobbly in the socket.
