Storm's Screen Only Supports 65K Colors?
I've been a long time lurker in this forum (and over at HoFo), and I'm drooling in anticipation of the Storm's imminent release.
I'm fully aware that just about all specs have been either revealed or hinted at. However, there's one particular detail that has hardly been touched upon, and frankly I'm surprised that nobody has inquired about it until now (hence this new thread).
How many colors will the Storm's screen support?
Well according to the folks at "storm-reviews dot co dot uk" (sorry but I'm currently ineligible to post links), the Storm's screen will support 65K colors (and they've been referenced at HoFo). That is fine with respect to all the HTC phones (including the Touch HD) and even the Android G1, because they all support 65K colors. However, the iPhone 3g (as well as the new Nokia 5800 Tube) supports 16M colors!
Let me reiterate: 65 Thousand colors ... compared to ... 16 Million colors
That's a huge difference. Now I'm fully aware that the Storm has a slightly higher resolution and PPI when compared to the iPhone, but if the color spec is indeed correct, then that would be worrisome to me.
I'd really appreciate it if a respected insider (like Crucial Xtreme or Kevin Byrne) could shed some light on this matter and give a hint.
Is the seesaw heavier on the left or the right? ;)
I know CX has hinted several times that the Storm's screen looks "sharper" than the iPhone's screen, but I can't seem to ignore the color discrepancy.
Here's to hoping that my fear is unfounded... Cheers! :)
