SLCD screens

I guess nobody knows what you'll get in the event of an insurance replacement.....

if its insurance and they replace it with a new device it will be a slcd but if its refurb most likely will be amoled

I've read in several places that if you had an AMOLED phone, they will try to replace it with an AMOLED phone. Try googling "Droid Incredible SLCD AMOLED replacement"

I'm not worrying about it. My phone is fine and does more than I can do with it. I was just curious.

Very little difference but maybe the slcd will draw a bit less power

I wouldn't be so sure. Engadget's AMOLED Desire vs. SLCD Desire comparison showed that the SLCD model burned through the battery FASTER.

Considering that battery life isn't a major problem for Desire owners (from what I've seen here, anyway), I'd guess that it will only make a big difference on the Desire. Given that battery performance is already such a pain on the Dinc, my guess is that SLCD will make less of an appreciable impact -- you'll be struggling to keep your device charged just like the rest of us!

Sooo true

Sooo true

The extended battery fixes that, sure the stock 1300 battery is a problem
as it could be expected in a high power device.
Nothing short of 2000Mah should come in a Android.

I have one that I bought Friday online from Verizon that is an SLCD unit. It looks nice to me, but it wiashes out and is basically useless in direct sunlight. I can see if I shade it with my hand and kind of see it.

I get almost 8 hours from it on a single charge *IF* I basically don't use it and keep everything turned off but 3G network/data. If I listen to Pandora or watch any Youtube videos, it goes from 100% to 15% in about an hour or two. It's almost dead by lunch time. This is amazingly horrible as far as battery life - never seen anything like it. I have read all the threads I could on it and made sure I have all sync functions disabled (set to manual sync), basically no widgets, location/gps turned off, no apps running, and everything. It goes from 100% to 90% as soon as I take it off the charger and check my email in the morning before I even get going.

I have a new battery (the fat one - 2150 mah) coming from Verizon right now. I can't wait for it to get here. I guess I'll take my charger to work with me tomorrow so I can actually use my phone.

I saw one with an slcd screen today and its way sharper than amoled. Almost retina like.
