Pity that the screen is wasted on only 65k colors

On the flip side, take it outside in direct sunlight. Prepare for the gnashing of teeth, and tears begin to flow as you cannot see the screen to dial out

Both phones support 16 million color display.

And I don't have any problems with both phones in direct sunlight, I can see very well.

Nope. Windows Mobile has a limit of 65k colors, which as far as I am concerned, wastes the AMOLED goodness. The hardware supports 16M colors, sure, but it can only show as much as the OS allows.

Well then, that is a waist of 3.7 inches of AMOLED real estate.
