N900 gets dirty so fast. Any tips?
 

Does anyone elses screen get covered in dust and when you clean it the dirt/dust/smudges get pushed to the edges of the screen were it collects and looks really bad? Also, the hole that contains the speaker you put up against your ear is almost filled with dust and looks like a big white spot compared to the black screen.

I just cleaned the entire phone with the included cloth just last night :(

Ah, I know how you feel exactly.. I used to suffer from this (I am one of those people that just have to have the phone sooo clean).. But I learned to live with it.. :(

I came from an iPhone and it didn't seem to collect the number of finger prints and smudges the N900 does. I'm wondering if it's the type of screen because the N900 requires you to press much, much harder.

haha. mine gets even worse. somehow my dog's hair constantly goes under the back cover and I have to open back cover to remove them every couple of days.

the solution is to attach a drinking straw to the tube of a hoover.

q-tips. work for me. :)

Another thing I've noticed is that if you increase your brightness a little it makes a lot of the smudges disappear. Battery life or nasty looking screen? Hmmm...

iphone uses a special kind oif coating for its screen known as oleophobic coating. Does n900 use any such coating tech? thanks

Re: N900 gets dirty so fast. Any tips?
 

No - I don't think the coating can be applied to a plastic screen (which a resistive screen has to be).

How is Nexus One screen? Is it like iPhone?

I have a pouch for mine, think that helps a bit. Mine isn't that dirty at least ;)

i cleaned mine once, but it did not seem to improve performance so i don't anymore :)

i do the occasionally shirt wiper if I need to watch a video or something though.

Once you get over it, it stays at a certain level of dirtiness and does not seem to get much worse :)

Airdust works great on mine

since putting on a decent screen protector i find it easy to clean. i just wipe my top or if at home use screen wipe. but i find it pretty clean.

Vikuiti ARMR200 screen protector and a Golla generation mobile pouch. Swapped from a Vikuiti DQC-160 because I like the matte finish on the ARMR200, tends to pick up less fingerprints (and increases the vibrance of my display).

One thing I've been doing when the earpiece speaker starts getting a lot of filth on it: I roll a q-tip in hand sanitizer gel (60% or greater alcohol content) and swab into the slit. Sounds dangerous but I've done it 20 times without any harm to my speaker. Just make sure you do it while the device is powered off, let it evaporate and wipe it off before turning it back on.

i used Apple cleaning cloth to clean mine everyday. I also made a custome bag for it like a pourch, it stay clean when i want to keep dust away feom my N900. What can i say i worked with a department full of macintosh. But i'm the only one that is not into iPHONE

Re: N900 gets dirty so fast. Any tips?
 

I have a very nice Noreve case which I carry on a belt or inside cargo pant pockets. If I occasionally carry it "naked" inside pant pockets it gets very dirty and dusty very fast. I have the ARMR 200 too but wouldn't recommend it, mine was too long and it has a odd stain which ony disappears slowly by polishing it during use. So the center of the screen is quiet pretty because you touch it frequiently. But the edges stay uneven for a long time. I have mine about a month now and all edges are quite ugly still.

Re: N900 gets dirty so fast. Any tips?
 

Use a cloth to clean the screen.

Use compressed air to clean everything else. I clean the earpiece hole almost every day with air.

Re: N900 gets dirty so fast. Any tips?
 

Strange, my ARMR200 looks great all over. As most products these days, I guess theirs are hit or miss. My first DQC-160 was a piece of crap, never looked right and never settled. Same applied to my InvisibleShield, though... what a waste of money.
