LOL! dont!! the anti fingerprint coating will come off after awhile.. then will be very ugly.. =/
i wonder whether the oleophobic one will scratch easily or not..

Did a manual update from 2.3.3(Rooted but locked bootloader) to 2.3.4 via ROMManager..

Applying same trick..conduct update with CWM recovery..after update without rebooting..do a system mounting then apply SuperUser.zip update..voila root retained.


Just a quick observation

1) Gtalk with Video chat...cool..eventually native video chat app..
2) Camera app..can select front facing camera..
3) browser loading heavy graphics seem faster

Quick quick go download and have fun..

The version 2.3.4 seems very battery efficient, I still have 38% battery after 33 hours

Just traded my handset to a Nexus S. Anyone know of a good screen protector that will align to the whole screen properly? Currently my top and bottom edges have bubbles as it cannot be lay flat on the surface totally, is this a limitation of the contour screen?

Or anyone has luck with a perfect application and able to show a picture of their phone here to share? Thanks in advance.
