How many people here who voted hands-off have actually seen an x50 Sony in use and seen how fingerprints effect the screen?

I'm guessing that a lot of you are basing your opinion on what you've seen on devices like the iPad where you do really see fingerprints.

Fingerprints don't really effect the Pearl screen. Sure you can eventually see fingerprints. But you see them more when the screen is off and at that time, you can clean the screen with a simple wipe.
