Nexus One impressions from a non-smartphone user

[MedioGringo]

Don't forget that one of the biggest differences is that the Droid uses a Backlit LCD Screen, while the Nexus One uses the much superior AMOLED screen.

AMOLED screens don't suffer from the washed out appearance of backlit LCD's, they don't have the massive light leakage in dark conditions, have much better viewing angles, superior color reproduction and use less battery power.

Read the Ars Technica review for more details on the AMOLED screen on the Nexus One. The same review also shows the Nexus One to be twice as fast as the DROID in almost every benchmark!

I've compared my Nexus One screen to my friends Droid and after using the AMOLED screen, I would never go back to a Backlit LCD.

Totally agree. I sometimes flip through my pictures, not to look at the images themselves, but to enjoy that amazing screen.

But considering the Droid's screen is better outdoors, I still think it's comparable. Not comparable for someone like me who thinks 90% of a phone is its display, but comparable for most normal people.

Read the ars review. Seems more reliable than the engadget review. Im waiting for the nexus to hit verizon so im sure by then there will be a few updates here and there to change opinions some. We'll see.
