OLED or TFT screen?

[Bic]

Letstalk.com is offering pre-orders on Evo (although for $300 with renewals, $200 for new customers) but its description of the phone says: 4.3? 480 x 800 WVGA OLED Touch screen -- the Sprint web page does not say which one, although other sources (phone arena, etc.) say it's a TFT screen. Which is it?

LCD TFT, although I'm wondering why it's only 16-bit instead of 24-bit (iphone, palm pre) and it's only got like 60,000 colors when it should have about 16 million (iphone, palm pre). I also wonder how much real difference this will make.

from all of the reviews, they say the screen looks great.

compared to what? I haven't seen the screen, but I know it probably won't look as good as the one on the incredible, since it's OLED. Plus, I think the colors on my Pre are great. I hope the screen on the Evo will be able to replicate that.

I think I like the TFT better overall. It's better for text and it seems to be more durable.

The review that sticks out in my head was a side by side comparison with the Palm Pre.
