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.

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

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

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