This is properly going to sound really OCD but anyway, I have recently purchased a BlackBerry Curve 8900. On this device as all users will know is a very nice Gloss Black Finish at the top and I am finding when using the device this Gloss Black Finish is gathering fingerprints, I was just wondering if anyone else has noticed this and if so how do you personally cope with it, as I am finding myself constantly cleaning it. Also with it being a new device I do not know unlike people who have used it for a while if the Gloss Black Finish scratches over time and again if so how do you stop it. One last thing, do any of you use a screen protector for the small LCD as I am currently using the Film that came on the device, just until I find out if the LCD scratches from your first hand experience. I personally would rather not put a Screen Protectors on as I think it ruins the device in another way, but if you think it is necessary then I will use one.


Thanks in Advance

1. Yes others have noticed this.
2. Yes, the finish will scratch, especially of stored in your pocket or purse, and not in a holster.
3. Yes, get a screen protector. Get one, here are some good recommended ones:

There you go. All your questions have been discussed here hundreds of times, and you'll most of the experienced long-time users here will recommend a product like Best Skins Ever or Invisible Shield.

Note that the LCD is a self-contained unit that includes the real glass screen and the underlying LCD...if you scratch the glass and want to replace it you need to replace the whole assembly, currently around $120. I learned the hard way putting it in my pocket with my keys...:(
