for those who don't see the pentile issue. really? it's been bothering me from day one. but to be honest, everything else is so good with this phone, that I think I'm going to keep it. Maybe i'll get use to it. But i do agree, I think screen wise, moto went backwards. I really hope they don't start doing this for all the phones. I've been comparing it side by side with my wife's Dx. Bionic is definitely better overall in web browsing (higher resolution). But I agree with OP, as soon as you start seeing blocks of solid colors (even in pix, I see people's faces that looks like they have skin problems). If the vigor has good battery (i doubt it as that's htc's main problems on all their phones), hd screen and just as thin/light as the bionic, I might return it (within my 30 day window at costco). Don't get me wrong, I do love this phone (except the screen). I guess if it's for the sake of battery, I'm kind'a ok with it.
Really. I mean, it's discernable for me, but I have to look for it. But that's my eyes for ya - I'm wearing progressive lenses, and they have some distorting effects all by themselves. I have to get the phone closer than is comfortable for PenTile to bother me.
And I agree with you, while the display isn't the best (it's not really that vivid), there are other positives about the phone that make me happy...
