Don't get Zagg, if you don't want your device to be sticky and feel when touching the screen. But do go for a cheapy screen protector off ebay. They are good enough for your N900. I got a ClearTech and it suck on screen. ClearTech is made of the same material as Zagg and very hard to keep clean.

And it takes more than 1hour to fully put it on. And left out of action for atleast 5hours to dry.

As for screen protectors, if you really don't like messy looking things, don't get them from Lexerd either.

The ones I received (2), were very horribly cut. The holes for the various sensors on the front of the N900 were out of line, as was the hole for the earpiece. The sides were curved.... I could go on and on.

Send me a reply if you know any screen protector that fits almost snug with the bezel around the screen area, it would be much appreciated.

Lol I got the same problem with the screen protectors I bought. It just won't fit properly unless I cut it again later.

Ok, thank you, now a few more questions. N900 is on it's way, nokiaretail says "ready to dispatch" and I was wondering

on the litle drop drop down menu, with profile mode etc I see many peoples on here with brightness and snapshot etc, which do you guys reccomend as the best applets for this menu?

What is the widget to display uptime, boots and mAh and such?

Thanks

just back to one of the question: accessing the root fs:

i do that from my laptop using sftp - i have openssh server installed and i use Nautilus to browse the content of the phone. you need to take note of the ip address of the N900 say in your home wireless network, that there you go.

hope this helps.

wahlau.

Don't get a cheap one is all I can say.

I have had 5! Yes, I was stupid enough to buy 5 different cheap ones, varying from £1.95 - £4, and they haven't been particularly easy to put on, some didn't even fit (too big). I'm currently using my cheap one as thats the only one that went on with no bubbles on the screen, only around the corners. Will be buying a more expensive one soon I think!

Must Haves:

Brightness: Simple Brightness Applet
Snapshot: Load-applet
Widget: Desktop Command Execution Widget
Flashlight: Flashlight
Cellular Modem Control Buttons (turns phone radio on/off, while keeping Wi-Fi on)
OMWeather (weather.com frontend)

Plenty more, but I'm about to leave for Cancun for spring break.

Will post more on the train.

I'm happy with my Vikuiti screen protector from protectionfilms24.com.

Also I like the 2G/3G selection mode applet, it lets me choose when i want to save power vs download speeds.
