Im not sure what EL is but the display on the 8250 seems just like the color of one of the (Cree) LEDs on my new PS2. EL stands for electro luminescent. I think that this is the technology used in the Sanyo's with the blue displays at Sprint PCS. I dont know which type of display it is....but here is another example of Nokia PR using the words "electric blue". Hopefully it is Cree's LED's, this phone is likely to be a big seller. Message 14972200 The Nokia 8250, with an electric blue backlight display, was shown at parties -- with blue sequin-clad models offering blue cocktails -- in Australia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan. The phone, which will be available in the first quarter, offers features such as short message service chatting, personal screen savers, picture messaging, and ring tone composing and are aimed at Asian buyers who pine for the latest gadgets. A small explanation of EL displays.... Message 14972187 There were phones with Organic EL displays, a brighter light emitting display technology that uses less power and has a higher resolution than the conventional colour displays used for mobile phone screens.
