My 3GS may look very subdued beside it, but man, the colors appear a whole lot more pleasant and natural. Most OLED's are oversaturated. OTOH, most mobile LCD's including the iPhone tend to be undersaturated versus the standard color gamut. My guess is that you basically become used to either one. Slacker

How many people would have liked to buy an iPhone but went with Android because of the carrier/coverage issue? Sheepishly raises hand. Why did I have to sit in the front row?

>>In the short term, maybe produce a CDMA version and let Verizon sell it. I wonder if anyone has done the math to see how many more iPhones Apple would sell if it did this. How many people would have liked to buy an iPhone but went with Android because of the carrier/coverage issue? What percentage of the Android market do these "reluctant" buyers represent?<< I agree that a lot of people who have bought Android phones have done so because they couldn't get the iPhone on Verizon, or Sprint, or T-Mobile. And clearly, a lot of people would buy iPhones instead if they could have. But even if the iPhone were to become available on all carriers tomorrow, Android would continue to find a market. It's growth might slow a little bit, but it wouldn't stop.
