RAZR in sunlight

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.cingular (More info?)

How is the main display on the RAZR outdoors in sunlight? I currently have
a Sony Ericsson Z500a and find the display very hard to see outdoors.

Thanks

My Razr is two months old and the outdoor display is poor. I'm surprised how
bad it is in the shade of a tree.

At worse case with my PPC-PE, I can hold the display in direct sunlight and
read it, but not the Razr.

Big differences between different types of displays -- in bright light:
* Backlit displays wash out
* Reflective displays get better
* Transflective displays are in the middle

I suspect it was a simple matter of form factor; i.e., thin.

The choice is made by the consumer.

p.s. Please don't switch posting styles (top vs bottom) in mid-thread -- it's
confusing, and considered a bit rude. Thanks.

I suggest you take your own advice, and actually pay attention to it, instead
of just trying to find something to serve your own preference.
