Gorilla Glass is scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof. I've heard way, way too many stories of scratches on screens to not use screen protectors on my phones.
In fact I noticed the other day I've somehow gouged deep scratches into my screen protector and I don't even know how. So I guess I'm glad it's the screen protector getting trashed, not my screen!

Thanks! Looks like I better get a screen protector then.
On another note, this 720 has insane battery life for such a slim device. I had 25% left after 24 hours unplugged (which included a couple of hours of playing games and streaming podcasts).
It's just too bad that the price for this is a sealed battery. But then again I don't think I've ever kept a smartphone longer than 2 years. I'll probably be shopping around for a new phone by the time the battery starts to fade (though I hope this won't be the case.)

Proud htc 8x owner...in blue. Been on wp8 since launch.
Got a few people to switch over. Definitely enjoying the experience and can't wait to see what's coming down the line. EOS, the second wave of flagships, windows blue update. Exciting times

When you buy app and at confirmation screen it should show you what method of payment you are using. I have my set to PayPal and it show PayPal as payment. There's a link on the bottom that let you switch payment type. I am on 920 and At&t.

has calmed down a bit.
My brother in law has two issues with his 920 I can't figure out:
-sound won't play when he uses the Zune app for music.
-notifications won't come up for rooms messages
A restart hasn't helped. Any ideas?

Hehe. I learned my lesson with my Lumia 900. The screen is much better than plastic screens when it comes to not getting scratches, but it still does if you don't treat it like a baby.
Good thing matte screen protectors hide them.

I got a bodygardz protector on and I hate it. I'm losing visibility on my screen, I can tell in really detailed games where I can't see small things as well. Only reason I put it on is because I found small hairline scratches and I have no idea where they came from.
I hate screen protectors more than scratches.
If I see someone with a screen protector, I tend to think less of them :-/

Matte screen protectors tend to mess with detail on high pixel density screens.
A similar screen protector on a 120~ PPI laptop would only give you the positives of such a protector, but on a phone in excess of 300 PPI? I can live with that on my phone, having a 4.3" WVGA screen (and hence pixels rather large), but...
The other kind of screen protector... they're basically good for... not scratching the actual glass.

That's what I've been doing though. It just doesn't show up on my PayPal account's history and it's making me worry. Is it possibly related to the fact I don't have any balance on my PayPal and I'm using it to transfer funds?

Indeed, at least my phone looks cool as long as I avoid scratching it. With a screen protector it looks horrible either way.
Ban him!

You've obviously never tried the SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal screen protectors then. They are the only ones I use now. I've tried so many but I always come back to those in the end.
So a single line of pixels on my Lumia 920 got stuck in purple. Went to my local Nokia care centre, and because the screen damage wasn't caused by myself they have to send the device away back to Nokia for a warranty repair, even though they could do it themselves if the damage was caused by me (admittedly I would be £160 worse off too).
No phone for 2 weeks. Shit sucks.

I've yet to Heil.
Never heard of it, I've tried 2 different ones for the 920 after I had a scratch, but they both looked completely awful. Not because of bubbles or anything, but because they both were too small. I suspect that that's because of the curved class and I also suspect that there isn't any screen protector that doesn't look awful on the 920 because of that.
I tried a liquid screen protector and haven't had any new scratches since (probably for 3 months or so). Difficult to tell whether that's because of the liquid or because I've been a bit more careful since, but so far so good.

925 goes on sale in Germany today.
Some guy's album of random quick shots with it.
Unboxing video.
Edit: Meh. Meh. Mehmehmeh.
But hey, at least the clock is back.

I think it's pretty crazy that Nokia thinks a slight reduction in weight and thickness, an improved camera and a bit of metal means they can charge 200€ more for the 925 than the 920.
Especially considering the fact that it loses wireless charging, looks much worse and costs just as much as a HTC One, which, no matter how much I prefer Nokia/WP, seems like a ridiculous comparison spec-wise.
Edit:
Just for brot, a close up of the 925's screen

I think it's looks stack up really nice compared to the 920, Galaxy and iPhone in that video. One of you Germans should get it.
I think it's more about how the smaller subpixels at higher PPI are harder to make out.
Why do people still want to see us suffer? It's been 70 years, man. :-(
