Everything I've read seems to indicate that...
I'm not all that thrilled about it. For one you can't do battery pulls and for two you couldn't get an extended battery or carry extra batteries... I think that is one of the great features that the iphone lacks!
The pentile screen is great for reading outdoors. Unfortunately I am one of the people who doesn't just see the pixels but is very frustrated by them. It is very evident when looking at photos I've taken, and even more evident when watching video. For instance just to try it out I decided to watch Suckerpunch. Wow, if you guys aren't bothered by pixelation in that then you are truly blessed and I'm happy for you. It ruins it for me. By the way, pixelation isn't exactly the right term. Put it this way: on my OG droid when I look at the dark grey portions of a cloud in a pic I took, it's made of a bunch of gray pixels. On this pentile screen, to make the gray it's a green pixel next to a purple pixel next to a green pixel and so on. I can see it when I hold the phone at arm's length, I'm not sitting there with a magnifying glass looking for problems.
For example... look at this painting.
Most people see a nice park setting. I (and a percentage of people) see a bunch of dots of different colors next to each other. For instance the leaves of the tree appear green, but there are yellow, blue, red, black, white, and many other color dots to make it green. It helps me appreciate how much work went into the painting, but for a phone screen it is annoying. That's the best way I can describe what I see.
BTW, I'm also frustrated with DLP TV's. I see the rainbow effect in them. I wonder if other people who dislike the pentile screen also have problems with DLP's.
Interesting explanation with the pic example. For the leaves at my normal viewing distance, all I basically see is green with maybe some orange and yellow? It has to be ppl just see things differently. Like this:
I never owned a plasma TV, but I know for motion blur on my LCD the only way I can tell the difference when I use the different motion settings on my TV. (One TV is 480hz with Motion controls, the other is 60hz with no Motion controls) Some ppl can tell the different Hz's of TV's and the refresh rates on monitors. I cant unless the refresh rate is real high or low.
In the pic, I can tell its made up of dots. Someone also compared it to old style comic book drawing. In the end, we're all different, thats what makes the world unique.

The refresh rate comparison is interesting, as I was also very sensitive to low frame rates (below 60) when I used to play PC games. When I first got my plasma I did noticed some motion blur, but it was like very dark pixelation, when I switched to only using blu-rays it seemed to eliminate the problem. I noticed it the most with Transformers dvd, when the cars transformed I could see just a mash of colors when things were moving quickly, but on my blu-ray version I don't see the motion blur, so maybe it's about the data speed/quality.
I'm a firm believer that it just comes down to how sensitive each of us is to pixel quality.
Some people can see it, some people can't and then some choose to ignore it.
All of which, I think are acceptable answers.

I still have three e815s in my drawer "just in case". I simply love that phone. My mom still has one that is only on its second battery and is eight years old with not one failure. Not a single button or pixel is bad. Amazing phone. Never dropped a call and I could get calls from down in concrete parking decks. They just do not make them like that anymore.
Wish the bionics reception was that good...it is ok, but nothing like the e815

To be perfectly honest; if I were going by what I need in a cell phone vs what I want, I'd probably be better off with my e815.

Ice456789: that is how the painting was created. It was created using thousands of small dots, different color dots.
Those articles are really old and really wrong
