    Anonymous, 26 Nov 2009what is better? LCD of TFT, what is better? LCD or LEDDisplays:
    LCD- liquid crystal display
    TFT - thin film transistor is a type of LCD w/ transistors attached to each pixel to improve image quality esp. sunlight visibility.
    LED - light emitting dioded. Similar in principle w/ LCDs. However, each pixel has its own "power source" as opposed to usual LCDs that are lid by bulbs on the seams of the device.

    LEDs is the best type of display among the three as it offers great image quality and better battery life due to the individualized lighting (such that black pixels are not lit). So far, these are the phones which are equipped with LED displays: Nokia N85, Nokia N86, Samsung Omnia 2 (i8000) - all of these phones have been reviewed to have excellent display quality.

                            But what when you're left handed? Simple just change the menu orientation to LEFT in the configuration panel. Genius eh ?

                                A wrong interpretation of Apple's success.
                                Its not in the UI, its the complete package that makes the iPhone the best gadget of the year in which it was released.
                                OS is a LINUX variant???
                                App store is non existant and will start business soon but I guess it will not see considerable growth cause this device will be pricey.

                                        Sorry, but i think the UI looks annoying to use with the press, glide and release function nonsense, to much work just to do simple task. UI like this is always eye-candy to look at but gives you minor headache when actually using it. I dont wanna have to press, slide and release my finger through 5-6 submenus just to do a simple task. Fantastic visual but UI is made for someone with the patience of Gandhi.
