Obsessed about keeping your Torch clean and shiny? Check in!
Now that we have a touchscreen device, how many of you are OCD about cleaning, shining, and polishing it all the time, especially the touch screen?
I've always been pretty obsessive about taking immaculate care of my devices. I keep a microfiber cloth everywhere I am, and I regularly wipe it down. It's not just the fingerprints on the touchscreen - it's the overall shine. I like it to just pop.
So how about you? Do you just manhandle it and not worry about how it looks? Or do you have to have it glistening like a diamond?I phart in your general direction. - 09-01-2010, 08:29 PMThread Author #3
So you put your phone in the same class as your car keys and wallet? Interesting.

Or it's an indicator that you have many nice things and you take care of all of them. Like me and many others, I'm sure. Originally Posted by JustAPhone I phart in your general direction.

I have micro fiber cloths everywhere. But I was that way with my Bold too. I'm a bit OCD with phones, computers, glasses, desktop. But not my wallet or keys.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com - 09-01-2010, 08:41 PM #8 It's a *PHONE* - and a new business venture
I think I just found a new business venture...
Mobile Phone Detailing (MPD) for people who need their phone to be polished, cleaned, de(face)greased, and shined everytime they look at it!!!!
I could also do OCD counseling!!!!

i have a lot...as in a LOT.
for my Oakley shades i use the issued cleaning cloth.
i don't think it's OCD right away... just taking care of the things you own..
same way you wash and detail your car..
and clean the RIMs and the dashboard..

Whatever makes you feel superior, dude. You're obviously much smarter and more sophisticated than the rest of us. Originally Posted by JustAPhone I think I just found a new business venture...

Wait...didn't you read what amateur-psychologist JustAPhone posted? You probably don't own anything nice that *DOES* deserve that kind of attention, so you don't have a $46K car. Just like I don't have a large, beautiful home and great automobiles, toys, or anything else nice. Why? Because you and I are obsessed with keeping our Torches clean and shiny.

At first, I was always cleaning my Torch screen because to me it smudges a lot.
Now I realize I pay less conscious attention to wiping it down, but I do absent-mindedly rub the screen against my shirt now and again.
I was thinking of slapping a screen protector on mine and calling it a day.

And very nice gun...
I am very OCD about cleaning my Torch, just like my car and my Oakleys (which I love as much as my Torch). I just like to keep my stuff nice and doing so does not mean that I have other possessions that are not expensive or taken care of!!!!Pearl 8100 -> Curve 8310 -> Bold 9000 -> Bold 9700 -> Torch 9800 - 09-02-2010, 11:43 AM #22 Originally Posted by jonasbeaver

contrary to popular beliefs, you can actually own both..( Windows and Apple) or ( blackberry and apple ipod touch/iPad)
i guarantee.. they don't BLOW up even if they're placed next to each other
and the only reason i posted the gun is to be clear about my previous post of " cleaning the women" since we name them after women..
i don't want to give an impression of being a sexist although the post sounded one.

If JustAPhone's profile is filled out correctly, it is no wonder he/she doesn't use a cloth to wipe down a 9000 bold on a regular basis.
A 9000 bold doesn't get nearly as much dirt/oil/smudges on the screen that a touchscreen device does... Why comment on a thread about how you don't bother to clean off your phone when you don't own the phone in question? - 09-02-2010, 12:15 PM #25 I didn't take offense to your "cleaning your women" comment...it just made me laugh trying to picture it. And don't worry, my gun is a guy... Originally Posted by mark_rivers19 errrr... i have a Torch.. since launch day..( family got 4 to be exact)
