LCD...good visibility. There is a video on the front page showing the difference between LCD, AMOLED and Super AMOLED screens. You can see the LCD outperforms the other two in direct sunlight.

Official announcement shows us nothing of how the phone works. I want to see it in direct sun light, want to see more of this ninjablur, etc...

Well, considering the fact that there's a press event for the announcement I'm sure we'll see tons of pictures and video to go along with it.

There's a big controversy now. Verizon tweeted that it has a Snapdragon processor then people complained it didn't and they removed the tweet. Then Droid Life came back and said their source confirmed the Snapdragon. WTF? Its all gone to hell. LOL.

True but I want to see it with blur being used and, dare I hope, turned off... At least in the capacity that one can turn off sense. Blur will make or break this phone for me, unless root is found rather fast. But there is always the possibility of the incredible price dropping when this hits or going bogo (doubt that as it is still back ordered).

You have seen the engadget video right? Well there u go. Lay off the caffeine, and cool down. Patience!

That was nothing more than showing the phone running (but barely). Not many motoblur (or ninjablur) things were disclosed. I would really like to see a more indepth video. I am not demanding new info leak, I was saying hopefully... I want to see this phone in action more than the engadget video. All that did was give a small taste.
And, I rarely drink things with caffeine
With how viral verizon and motorola are being here I am assuming we will see more quite soon.

 

[alan7467]

Well, I sure hope Motorola pulls something special off with this phone. All I'm asking for is something comparable to the EVO that isn't gimped (30fps graphics cap) and doesn't have QC issues. If they can pull it off I'll happily jump ship from Sprint to Verizon.

+1 at that. Tired of QC issues after the whole tour thing...

Motorola is really going to have to impress me tomorrow to make me want to leave my Droid, especially with Froyo hitting soon. I would love a new phone, but with the rumors of this "super phone" coming out in Q4, I may want to hold on to my upgrade.

I remember the rumours of a BlackBerry super phone... It was overstated. Granted it seems that the BlackBerry users are blinded by their loyalty. The android community doesn't appear to suffer from the same problem...
I do doubt a super phone will be that amazing though. The x looks amazing on paper so I cannot see surpassing that. What is this super phone that you speak of?
Also,@DroidLanding has been posting viral messages lately.

I think I'm going to use my upgrade for the x because the next phone that comes out that I will want will prob be more than 6 months away and I always just use my annual upgrade so no sense in holding an upgrade for 6 months, might as well take it now then wait 6 months after the other phone is released and use my next one.
