        Ok I made a mistake, I admit I was an idiot for thinking that super amoled is better than bravia. I was just reading about bravia mobile technology and it indeeds seems the best display we will get on a phone.

        Thumbs up for se!

                Why did they have to ruin this awesome phone by making it of plastic?
                If it had been made of metal I would have bought it at launch, now I'll have to wait for something else.

                    [deleted post]Sorry to say that, as things go by, by the time N9 is out it will be for sure outdated against the competition as have happened with N8.

                    Nokia must react soon or it will remain as SE as a second tier.

                    Listen to Samsung when they say that by 2013 the want to be the no 1 phone manufacturer...and for sure they are going to be.

                      AMH, 10 Jan 2011It actually is, because Super Amoled and Amoled in general ... morein that comparison, the iphone actually looks the best. it's clearer and has no banding at all.

                      why do you insist on defending a company that has led down customers again and again and again?

                      sony ericsson's customer service has been dreadful over the last few years. some of their phones have been so far behind the competition it's not even funny. why do you make excuses for all their mistakes?

                      brand loyalty is just mad. it makes no sense. i just buy the best phones out irrespective of who makes it

                        I really want a SE Android Phone with smooth UI and no lag.
                        Dual core is the way to go if the vendors insist on their own UI

                          why do manufacturers insist on researching different screen technologies and investing in factories to match demand for amoled/superamoled displays...WHEN LCDS ARE THE BEST ALL ALONG!

                          you can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig...an LCD is an LCD screen. it's washed out and cant offer the same viewing angles as a superamoled display.

                                    abhi, 10 Jan 2011Nobody is joking, it's definitely better than super amoled.... morehow can you conclude that the LCD screen on this phone is better than super amoled? you cant possibly tell because you are viewing the photo through a LCD screen on your computer.

                                    the only thing you can distinguish is the brightness and the saturation

                                      [deleted post]cant argue that the N8 GPU is much stronger than the one in this snapdragon load of crap. also the N8's UI uses the GPU so it's probably quicker than the one on the arc.
