QUOTE(kv0711 @ Sep 9 2012, 08:15 PM) Guys, is it really necessary to get a screen protector? I read from other forums that those tiny scratches only affect the coating, but not the glass. if so, is removing scratches from coating easy? Anyway, is there any good recommendation for anti-fingerprint protector available for online purchase? Thanks in advance yea. Anyone can answer this??

Removing scratches from the coating means taking off a very thin layer of the whole coating altogether. Do that many times and you'll end up having no protective coating at all. The glass is meant to resist (resist, not entirely prevent) big scratches and only allow micro scratches over time.
When my dad bought the phone, it already comes with an anti-fingerprint screen protector. I didn't see what brand they used but it seem sto be pretty good and evenly stuck on with no bubbles. I assume that it can be acquired at any good mobile phone shop. Ask an original retailer, maybe they'll know. As for online, try the garage sales here. Some people bring in a few quality ones from overseas.
There was a brand that I had looked into when I had my 5800, that seems to be recommended by a lot of people. I forgot the name though, sorry. I do seem to remember that some people do sell them here.

QUOTE(tunertoobe @ Sep 10 2012, 05:35 PM) Oh and about the sound, it is the FLATTEST sounding music player of any kind I have ever listened to. The elevated treble was actually pretty good though, as it was revealing but not entirely piercing, and that's saying something since I use a Grado SR60i to try it out. The serious lack of bass though is killing it. It could be very good sounding. Apparently according to GSMarena, it happens when connected to a headphone. Maybe it's the amp? I wish I had the JDS Labs cMoyBB still to hook it up to this baby. It really does have the potential to be good. I agree with you on the Zune music player too, there should at least be a decent equalizer. I m not sure which firmware are using right now since U just bought the phone. Back in long ago there was a firmware release that it actually increase the bass level of the phone. Maybe U should try connect to your Zune see if there is any available firmware updates. Haha..at least after the firmware update the SQ is not so flat...

Updated just now. Yes, actually I was just about to ask you guys whether it is confirmed that bass response has improved or was it just my head. So turns out it is elevated.
Treble goes down by a bit. Now I won't say it's flat, I'd say it's a bit more neutral. Although it is still quite "cold" sounding (not a negative point, just a sound preference), and bass isn't quite there yet, but quite enough except if you're a bass head.
Also the speed improvement is quite noticeable.

Guys, the latest up date should have the flip-to-silence feature. How come on my mum's phone it's not working? Or is that feature only available in certain countries? Also the update should also allow the Lumia 800 to become a Wifi hotspot. How do we do that? Ooooh. I like the last bit about the media file transfer over Bluetooth.  At last, it feels that we bought my mother a true Nokia phone. For a bit it almost feels like we bought her an iPhone.

I also like the idea of media file transfer, that would be awesome! haha

It is supposed to be the latest.  Well, I'll check to see if it is an 8773. If it does and still doesn't work, then I guess I'll just have to let it pass.

Just got this phone despite phone seller claimed this phone having issues and no stock from dealers, I've decided to try. So far, I'm pleased to be different.
Anyway, if we update firmware, will we lose all data on the phones. Such as contacts, music, photos, videos, and apps?
I'm having issue with the phone's earpiece, any workarounds?

No, i meant the phone's earpiece speaker where you place to your ear. Quite a critical situation for a phone, i have tried plugging earphone headset but still the same. Only speaker phone mode worka fine.
