The Palm Pre’s capacitance touchscreen plays a big role in making the new WebOS-powered smartphone a true iPhone competitor. But, that’s just scratching the surface. Literally. The Palm Pre’s plastic touchscreen apparently scratches like a DJ, yo!
Geek has posted an image of 5-day old Palm Pre that looks like it’s been through hell and back. The Palm Pre you see pictured here was apparently handled with care, but somehow managed to pick up scratches in some dude’s front pocket.
We have to wonder how the tens of thousands of Palm Pre’s roaming the US are faring under daily use. If you’re lucky enough to still have an unblemished touchscreen, we’d suggest picking up a screen protector post-haste. If your Palm Pre’s touchscreen is already scratching like a DJ, drop us a comment and let us know!
