This reminds me of a somewhat funny story, when I had my N80, I babied that thng. I made sure it had a screen protector 100% of the time. I never went without one. well, days turned to months turned to years, and 4 years later the case had it's small dings here and there, but the screen was flawless.


one day I was rototilling the backyard (it's similar to a lawnmower for those of you who dont know) and I felt the handle tap my leg. when I finished rototilling, I puilled out my phone and I had a huge star crack. the LCD leaked everywhere inside. made for a nice 'fireworks' screen. so many colors. the plastic screen on top was still flawless, but the glass screen behind it was gone.

anyways, it was then that I realized that all those years of caring for and worrying about the front pretty much went to waste. I started to wonder why I cared so mch about the front, I mean it's not like there wasn't spare front panels for it online.

anyways my next phone was the N900, and I realize now that I don't need a protector. the screen was made for what it does, because if it wasn't, it would come with a screen protector itself. Also, in a few months (if not already available) there is going to be replacement front panels, so I could just buy a fresh one if mine gets so bad.


I'm not knocking peple who have screen protectors, I'm just sharing my epiphany when my previous phone met a similar fate.
