Well various screen protectors give various plus points, such as no fingerprints, no glare, nicer to write on...
these are all much more importand to me than screen protection...
plus the fact that it stops dust from getting under the screen which alot of people suffer from...
hope that's enough reasons to shell out a tenner.

@dazbradbury, I agree with you. Those are good (and sufficient) reasons.

Your comment "free phones my arse" suggests I am mistaken in thinking I'm getting something for nothing.
I accept, of course, that all phone networks are seeking to make a profit, so on average they must make money from all their customers, and you're right that some of the charges are way too high. (I still can't believe it's 10p for an SMS here. In California it's as little as 2c.
However, it's also true that I would pay exactly the same £/month to be on my Orange tariff if I was still using my old Nokia 2110 (if I still had it).
Every 12 months, I get a brand new phone and carry on paying exactly the same per month as I would if I was using a progressively older phone.
This suggests the upgrade is free, doesn't it?
Put another way, if new customers A and B both connect to an identical Orange talk plan and A chooses a new P800 whereas B goes for a new Nokia 6310i (now 2+ years old), they pay the same amount over the first 12 months in total. This suggests that the difference in value between the two is given to A free.
(Or, as you'll probably argue, it's not free - it's being paid for by B!!!).

oh dear lord. how dumb are u hippo. i am on orange as well. they make their money from the line rental. if you work it out...... I am on a P800 which i got for £200 on a £30 a month contract. far from free but still it will do for an example as it is basically the same minus huuuge contract. You are Locked IN for at least 12 months to this contract. So.. You Pay £200 for the phone, and then £30 a month
every month for 12 months after that. after 12 months you have then paid out £360, which, added to the £200 original for the phone means that you have paid the network £560 and that is before you have added on the ridiculously overpriced call charges. btw that is £60 over the retail price of the p800 , £5 a month for the network which is Actually the subscribing fee that you pay. so you see you are not really getting a good deal you are in fact just signing up for a loan.

I payed $AU1,241 for my P800 and none of them are subsidised here, so I want to protect it for as long as possible!
