Oh man, I thought I had a good screen when I initially received my touch. In all honesty, my "bad" screen isn't so bad. The vertical viewing angle when looking down at it is bad, but when do I really read the screen at some awkward angle, even in landscape?

The outside viewability was also just about what I expected as it was diminished but still functional.

However, I recently p***** a verizon store and went into to look at their touch. Huge flaw in my decision-making. The screen on the other touch is better - by far. It does not have that negative effect from ANY angle.

Long story short, I went on a crusade today to find the holy grail of touch-screenage visiting 4 Sprint stores/repair centers and looking at about 12 different touches. All 4 stores had demo touches with the bad screen and all 12 touches I looked at were identical to mine.

In retrospect, I can live with the screen I have. However, there is a certain tinge of unfairness in this whole situation with some seemingly destined with screen clarity and others, like myself, plagued with that dreaded bad screen.

Finally I have a parting question:

1. For those of you with the "good" screen and have also compared it with a "bad" one, how incredible is the difference in daytime viewability under direct sunlight? There does not seem to be consensus on this issue.

Thanks!

I had one store employee tell me my screen was bad because it had a 2 mega-pixel camera and not a 1.3 megapixel one. Just wow.
