    So here's the deal: I have found that the included BlackBerry cleaning cloth works great at cleaning the finger prints off of my Torch. I thought it was just a micro-fiber cloth, but I have tried several other ones (from eye glass places) and they just do not do as good of a job as the OEM one. Does anyone know if i can order more RIM ones, or a really good substitute? Thanks.

    I agree, they're pretty durn good. I inadvertently kept one from one of the Torches I returned, so now I have two. I probably could have kept two more from the other two I returned.

    So my advice to you is to keep exchanging Torches every day for the next 22 days left in the 30-day period, always keeping the cleaning cloth, and you'll be set for life.

    There aren't any OEM accessories out yet, but I'm sure RIM will sell them individually once they starting pushing the accessories.

    The one you just got with the Torch is actually clean. Try tossing one of your other ones in the wash w/o fabric softener.

    The micro fiber cleaning bag that comes with Oakley sunglasses has been working good for me. You can get them for like 5 bucks...

    Good call.

    Try a 3M microfiber cloth and you will be amazed at how well it works. It actually removes face oils in a couple swipes instead of smearing them like the microsuede cloth you get with the Torch. This used to be part of my job comparing the two

    I'm actually afraid to put a screen protector on it because the screen wipes cleanly very easily with just about anything. With a screen protector on my 9000 it would always have streaks no matter what I used. I can wipe the Torch on my shirt a couple times and it looks factory new.

    It looks nearly the same to the human eye, but it's still pretty sick under a microscope after just wiping down with a T-shirt. At least the microsuede cloth that comes with the torch removes about twice as much oil and dirt particles as cotton

    I'm a lover of Oakley sunglasses, but I have to say that the cleaning cloths are no good. When I try to clean my sunglasses with it, it just smears oils and dust all over the lenses. . So I do not know about using it for the Torch...
