Hi!
I´m thinking of buying the P800, but before doing so i´d like to know if the screen is fairly resistant to scratches? So if anybody (with experience) could give me an answer I would be 
Thanks |

I would like to know too......
I have heard of a guy carrying in a pocket with his keys, and that meant no scratches, but........

Well. I'm keeping mine away from sharp objects just to be sure. At least until someone can provide protection film for the screen. I'm planning on having this one until 3G headsets comes into largescale service. And by the looks of it I might be in for a bit of a wait  |

It's not made of stainless steel (even that can scratch ), it's made of plastic... so do the maths
the screen is actually a normal tft screen with a thin touch screen film as overlay (with a small space in between)... so that film saves the screen from scratching... but I think you will have to ask a former PDA (with touch screen) user how the wear and tare is over the years... nobody has the P800 long enough to answer that question...

Most of the PDA's are pretty resistant to everyday use but if mishandled anything will scratch.I had a palm for 2 yrs and the screen was very good without any scratches and off course regular cleaning with plain cloth and keeping dust away will be good. |

I would not that brave enough to put this expensive P800 anywhere near keys or something like that, even though it may be scratch resistant in some way, it is recommend to buy those protective sheet for those PDA and put it on the P800 screen !!

Which is basically why PDAs has dozens of screen protectors screaming for your attention ... to protect the screen! So it's safe to assume that the P800 has to have one too .... |

Don't have a P800 yet, but I can recommend the "WriteRIGHT" screen protectors made by Fellowes. Thin, glare-free and has a nice texture; slightly grippy, not slippy, more like paper.
The package contains 12 protector sheets, yet I've been using the same one for over a year on my Visor Edge (and it gets lots of daily use).

Why would you make your decision dependant on how scratch-proof the screen is??? Isn't it like asking if you can make 40mpg with a Ferrari? Or like - what's the energy consumption of a plasma-screen TV on stand-by?
Comparing with PDAs doesn't really help - their usage pattern tends to differ a lot from a combo set, and they come with protective casing anyway. I'm still using one of the first iPaqs to come out (bought it in Oct 2000) here in the NL and the screen is doing fine, although there're signs of usage.
I'd say - if you handle it with care, you'd replace your P800 for another, functionally much better device, rather than because the screen got ruined. |

Got my p800 today, and i had a littlle play with it before i put it in the charger. The two things that impressed me the most was the touch screen, and its stereo speaker!!
