You are purely insane and need your eyes checked. It makes a huge diff in readability. I guess to each his own radical opinion.I've seen the screen. I've got great vision. For usage as a phone, the retina display is PURE MARKETING. want me to say it again? IT'S MARKETING. Now give me a LARGER screen--I can get behind that!

Paper is only as good as the resolution of the printing, and that varies WIDELY. (what do you think the resolution is of your city newspaper, for example?) Some much for you complaining about other's "childish rants". You just had your very own temper tantrum.07-10-10 09:38 PM
- I agree 100%. The iPhone 4 screen is AMAZING. How is it pure marketing? It's a higher resolution screen to which improves the user experience of the phone.

This thread was started based on debating leaving the Storm2 for other phones. Discussing the options and/or choice seems right on topic to me. Even Dave's one sided comments are usually on topic. Inflammatory but on topic.
Hey Dave, paper is my standard because many other strive for that level, including most ebook readers and screens. I am just simply relating it to something instead of an exact specification, which is difficult when you consider all of the aspects of viewing something. It is not all about dpi, although that really helps. Let me be more specific, I want to eliminate 99% of all jaggies like a 600 dpi color laser print does. The 4's screen gets pretty darn close to that to me, and is also reputed to do so by a ton of reviews I have read. I simply wish the Storm3 to have near that resolution in the same 3.5" round about size. I don't need a 4" plus screen nor do I want to carry one.
Pure marketing it may be to you, but I can tell a huge difference, as can every single person I know in real life who has seen one. It is not surprise you are going to deny it, as you always take the strong against position when it comes to the iPhone. It is a very "anti establishment" approach and comes across quite immature and angry at that. Good luck with that.
I think it is a major advancement, much like the newer Android screens are over the Storm2's resolution. Now in terms of brightness, etc, I really like my Storm2's screen.
Man I love the CB forums!07-11-10 10:07 AM - You are getting drawn in by SPECS. The point I have been making is that the extra pixels are of little use on such a SMALL SCREEN. It would have been much cooler, had Apple opted to make a larger screen--then those extra pixels might have been something to get excited about. I am definitely not blind. I'm quite discriminating, AAMOF, in both sound and visual input.07-11-10 02:07 PM
- Hate to say it Dave, but it isn't just "SPECS". When viewing the same website on my Storm and my iPhone4, the iPhone is definitely better, easier to read. That isn't "SPECS", it's just what I see.You are getting drawn in by SPECS. The point I have been making is that the extra pixels are of little use on such a SMALL SCREEN.

- Can't we all just get along?!
LOL
Seriously, some folks get ALL worked up over comparisons between the S2, Droid and/or iP4. Personally, I love my 9550, but I'm tired of pulling the battery 1-2 times per week. Plus, it seems that the phone exhibits some new feature or functionality on occasion. I'm also considering the iPhone 4, but until my company supports the iPhone using ActiveSync, I'll be severely crippled as compared to my Storm2. I'll try it out for a few weeks though and see how it goes. I wish the 9800 or OS6 for the 9550 would be released sooner than later.
Maybe using the iPhone with that loss of "instant e-mail" functionality will keep me from checking my e-mails ALL the time and save my marriage?! LOL07-12-10 08:32 AM
