Ok i've had my 9700 for a few days now, but the screen continues to amaze me. It's really down to the super high pixel density - but everything just looks amazing on it!!! I converted a few DVD's to h.264 format to watch on it, and even these regular DVD's look like HD on this little thing!!! I'm just amazed... Photos from website look so vivid!
And I've had iphones since 07 (a 2G, then a 3GS), and Nexus One for a couple weeks (returned it - too many issues). I will say the 9700 screen, despite being small, still looks better than the famed OLED Nexus screen... If a Bold style screen gets released by RIM in OLED/AMOLED version... watch out!!!
Now, if only there was a way to get high quality youtube vids to show up on it (rather than the horrendously jaggedy low res versions...)
THANKS SOOOOO much for posting this link!!!! This was the one thing... the ONE thing bugging me about my 9700.... now it's not only fixed (can watch youtube, even when using epc.tmobile.com as my APN - which is the only APN that allows Pandora to work for me)... I can actually select HQ to watch vids!!!! Not HD shard, but waaaay better than the pixelated garbage I could see, but had to still use something like Xenozu, or Vision...

I also think the screen is very pretty. The pixellation is so dense that small details can be noticed quite easily if the contrast is right. Makes for some beautiful themes.
