The only thing that is safe to assume is that the CPW are a bunch of cowboys without a clue of whats going on.

[Guest That-Guy]

Someone needs to pop into a store to double check me thinks :)

[Guest Maringer]

I ordered from CPW last week via the internet. The order was confirmed but not processed so I contacted them a couple of days later to be told that the phone was out of stock for a couple of weeks.

They agreed to cancel the order on my request but then have faffed around ridiculously about processing a refund to my credit card. Had another call about it today (from somewhere on the Indian subcontinent) and they claim they have now finally processed a refund - which will appear on the account in 7 or 8 days!

Taking the piss, if you ask me, but I've already informed my card company about them messing me around and if I don't get the refund soon I'll ask them to cancel the transaction altogether.

Basically, the phone helpline bods who work for the CPW seem to be based somewhere in India with computer systems which don't work correctly and a lack of knowledge of the necessary procedures to follow. Pretty dismal, all in all.

[Guest HMZX]

if they advertise oled and its not, you can get a refund

so just in case...

[Guest cgk]

Yep, you can simply take it back as "not specified" and that's that.

If you look carefully on the webpage, under the product picture you can clearly see it states: Top Features - AMOLED touchscreen :)

I've bought all mine from CPW... all OLED and no problems delivered to my local store. NOTE that they do NOT stock them in store...

Wonder if they're the same people who work for Three? Sound about as good.

Is the Black version release at orange?

I see the CPWe is in stock now

Also 512MB/512MB ROM/RAM and Oled screen?

[Guest slitz]

Bah, I just bought this phone, rooted it and installed a custom rom.

And now I find out I could've bought an AMOLED version of it?!

Well, does anyone know how these two screens compare when they're outside?

You wont really notice a difference between the two, the TFT/LCD just has a few random lockups on most roms,

Differences:

Amoled: true black / TFT/LCD: Backlight

Amoled: pink whites & greys / TFT/LCD: real whites & greys ¦lowest brightness setting¦

Amoled: slightly more vibrant

You wont even notice these unless your holding both versions of the phone anyway :)

Note: Amoled does have a slight (non-noticable) glow to black under extreme dark conditions

Yeah, I used to have an AMOLED device before. I had to turn up the brightness a lot on that device in order to stop the pink coming.

So one question, does TFT have better battery life for white images?

I read that Super AMOLED is bad for white images, so web browsing is going to be a major battery killer and that text was very blurry on it (I had an AMOLED MP3 player so I didn't use it to read much).

But I'm not sure, an AMOLED version of this phone is rare..

As I said in an earlier post, they are not selling them in the stores.......... just have them delivered to the store. Jeez.
