Camera lens scratched already!

Hi.
Had my 3650 for 4 days and scratched the lens already 😞
Can we get replacement lenses?
Looking at the back clip-on cover it would be easy for a manafacturer to design a back cover with built in 'slide' to cover the lens and protect it when not in use, then slide it down when you want to take a pic.
Has anyone made one of these do you know?
I think every 3560 owner would buy one!

But this is impossible. Nokia assured that the lens is scratch-proof, at least this is what they told a bunch of journalists at the last presentation of the 3650. :rofl:

I heard a rumor that Nokia wants to offer some kind of cover with the official deliver of the 3650 in Europe and the US. I wonder why the HK buyers didn't get one and I also wonder why the first phones have chinese language on them. Maybe because Nokia secretely outsourced development to China? This could explain the quality of the first software versions. 😉

Isn't this (partly) because the non-chinese version will have a WAP 2.0(XHTML) browser, unlike the chinese that has a WAP 1.2.1 browser? XHTML browsers are new things, meaning new software has to be developed, whilst Nokia already has several products with WAP 1.2.1 browsers, like the 7650.
