How can we learn how durable OLED screens are to resistance, dropping and water? Any official statement from Nokia or from other companies which use OLED screens?

      Phone area review

      "Strangely, while capturing videos, the phone interface is choppy. That reflects on the videos and they freeze every few seconds or so"

          I was looking forward to buying this phone but now I am not sure if I'm gonna buy it, after all the things I've read about OLED screens. Maybe I will go with Sony Ericsson C905.

                      im a wise consumer now! im not going to buy this phone until its price subsides to at least 18,000 pesos. im not gonna spend anymore 20,000 plus pesos just for a phone when i can buy it for a much cheaper price after some period of time! haha

                            Nirodha, 11 Nov 2008There's always going to be something newer and better waiti... moreyeah, i agree. infact, nokia is currently developing 14 smartphones. most of these are touch devices with vga display. the last non-touchscreen phone will be codename "corolla". and i think that will be the "N98" becos that phone will bear 8mp camera. there is also some kind of "N85i" thats on the way. it will be N85 with a xenon flash. however, nokia is really behind other manufacturers becos the likes of samsung and htc already have released the kind of handsets that nokia is yet developing at the moment.

                              noidea, 11 Nov 2008this will be the most perfect phone if it had massive 16GB ... moreif n85 had a 16gb internal memory and media keys around the dpad, then it would not be n85 anymore. it would be n96.

                                Karthic, 11 Nov 2008I'm pretty sure that oled display is not good for mobiles. ... morein real life situation, a phone equipped with a single 369mhz processor like n81 is faster than a phone equipped with a dual 332mhz processor like n82. ive had both phones so i know single chip 369mhz processor is still faster than the dual 332mhz processor.

                                      Why don't you try htc touch diamond which has 528 mhz processor, 192 mb ram (64 mb reserved for graphics) and 256 mb rom?

                                      It's also a touch screen with 640*480 pixel (VGA resolution), 2.8 inch screen. It's also a smartphone based on Windows mobile 6.1 professional edition.
