                surprised the n9 was third best, it doesn't look as good as some of the other phones.

                  I see the Samsung slush-fund is paying off again.

                  Seriously you are going to flat out rig the test (using some random fluro tube) and then lie to us and say OLED is best in sunny outdoor conditions!? And also exclude other devices like LG Black (with special display) and the RIM's with the boosted backlight in your initial tests!?

                  What a load of bull. I thought you guys had cleaned up your act but this just removes any remaining faith I have in you guys.

                            More information is always good for those that want it.

                            I wont really care too much about this info, as much as I will about the reviewers comments when actually using the phone.

                                        Galaxy s2 and galaxy note look the best by a long shot, considering getting the note and really impressed at the quality
