    any idea WHY nokia waited so long to introduce OLED??

    marketing strategy or is it like a super-new technology or something?

    can OLED screens have dead pixels too?

    one important question was not answered do far: how does the OLED display behave in direct sunlight situations outside? as you know, phones like the N95 behaves excellently there, as they have a reflective screen technology, that also works without back-lighting. in could imagine that the big downside of the OLED could lye outside in the sun.. what do you think?

    Nice .. The Difference is really notable. It just looks so much better, but in my opinion it’s just the only upgrade from the N95 ..

    Great work Rita! :)

    @n95 & Neo :
    I too worry about the OLED screen on direct sunlight. I have an OLED screen on my MP3 player (an iRiver Clix²) and it is completely unreadable under bright sun (it appears almost fully black), whereas my n95-8GB is fully readable.
    And from the little I understand about the OLED technology, it is not possible to have a reflective layer under the screen, since it has no backlight (but I may be wrong there).

    OLED FTW! Screen looks amazing!

    True telling point would be how it performs outside in bright sunshine.

    Why would anyone still want an N96?

    It’s official. N85 is my next new phone. And Rita, OLED uses less power than LCD does. More vibrant colors and longer battery life = instant win.

    I had experienced OLED on the 8800 Arte (review on my site). The quality is amazing, although you couldn’t tell much as the display was tiny.

    Looking forward to test the N85!

    Interesting thoughts on the visibility under sunlight. I had the BH-903, a bluetooth headset from nokia with an OLED and it was invisible under direct sunlight. Ugh, I wish I still have the N85 to test these things out :(

    i want better resolution, oled screen is good, but when they keep giving us this crappy resolution, it doesn’t make much of a difference.

    There was no other phone with a 2.6″ screen around you except for the N85. The N81 is 2.4″ and not 2.6″, so is the N82, E71, and N79. The N96 of course is 2.8″. Must have been the large number of mobiles around you that got dotsisx confused, say what?

The I7110 is an extremely well-packed device which brags certainly about its 2.6″ AMOLED screen.

    Hi guys,
    Regarding the OLED quality under sunlight..
    im not too sure about that but the N85 does come with an ambient light detector..

    hope that helps..
