thank for the sharing...
will to do so..

so far only install garmin....

if format then i have to reinstall the garmin?
then, all setting also gone?

I have a friend with an N-gage QD.
He's used to typing messages and dialing a number that way. I tried it and it was not confusing or disorienting, it's just weird and quite un-ergonomic. ALmost impossible to use with one hand.

I don't wipe it that much to avoid wearing out and scratching the screen. That's actually a cause of scratching.
If I do find a need to wipe it(like after a call), I'll use a cloth. Only wipe once every 2 weeks to look for scratches, the only reason i wipe.

I didn't go for an SP as the screen looked pretty.  Also I thought if the screen can stand it, why spend? It was a trial for the phone. As I didn't find any scratches that were able to be seen without giving me a headache, then I decided I'll stick with no protection.

I did that to other phones as well. 
There's a funny story, I played around with my friend's P1i. I didn't know it was a touchscreen. But force of habit as always made me touch an icon on the home screen, and to my surprise it worked!
One time, when operating a phone with a keypad, i didn't look like a fool. 

i thought the tube already hv the alphanumeric in landscape mode.
