Hey there!

I've just ordered a hx4700. I never had a pocket pc, this will be my first one and i don't know what to expect. Anyway, I've read some of the threads here and I "heard" about the screen protectors. I understand the use of it, but i would like to know if the normal use with the pen can scratch the screen with no screen protector?!

Any tips for a portuguese newbie???

Thanks!

Welcome to the site!

By all means please don't use a pen on your screen. Only use a stylus on your screen. Using a screen protector can prevent scratches on your screen. Also screen protectors can help with visibility.

What is a stylus??? When I said "pen" I meant the black, thin "stick" that comes with the pocket pc. Is that "stick" the stylus you refer??? And if it is, does a normal use with the stylus scratch the screen???

Thanks

Yep... That is the stylus.

After time the stylus can start leaving tiny scratches on the screen depending on your use. A screen protector can go a long way to help prevent this.

Thank you very much. My hx4700 should arrive this week, I'll try to buy a case and a screen protector ASAP. I allready know that some are buggy and I'll run the test and fix it if necessary!

No problem. To also help you and your new experience with the iPAQ I would recommend you taking a look at the tutorial "What Can I Do With My iPAQ". You can find it on this site located here. It will give you some good pointers about getting the most out of your iPAQ. Ready for a full course meal?
