Sunlight visibility amazing!
 

It's very nice and sunny today here in England..
Amazingly the N900 is totaly usable in the sun.. It must be that trasnslfective screen.
I am enjoying poking fun at other people with less well equiped touch screens

Just had the same experience whilst on a ciggy break here in Holland :)

i agreeeee!

I've noticed this quality recently as my good friend owns the HTC desire and he struggles horribly to use his phone in the light.

I guess HTC designed and sold the phone during a season when no reviewer/gadget site would notice this flaw :p

(I'm not exaggerating, try using the HTC in actual light. You will be astonished)

Agreed. I live in Texas and see a lot of sun, and am amazed how well I can see the screen even at the 2nd to lowest setting. All around I think the N900 screen is wonderful.

Sunny here in Finland too!

The screen sure is amazing!
Just took a brake from recording music and went ouside to chill/fry and get my Vitamin D naturally for half an hour and could surf the whole time under direct sunlight. Works like a charm!!!!

I noticed this a while back and can only emphasise it.
It's even easier to read in full sunlight than in the shades.

I'll be spending some time in delhi soon, taking the n900 instead of my laptop, and it's great to know that indias sun will only enhance the readability of the screen. Hopefully it'll survive the heat, too :-)

Many years(2001?) ago I had a PalmPilot m505 which did the same thing. Then manufacturers stopped making screens like this - I don't know why.

I'm glad Nokia are using it again - it's nice to sit in the back garden and check my email.

It's great for taking photos :)

For me it's painful. In the Florida overcast it's hard to see. sunglasses on sunglasses off. Not a pleasent experience in useability for me.

In an emergency I could pull my shirt over my head and make a cell phone viewing tent, that would probably work.

m sure your n900 will enjoy the indian summer..not quite sure bout you surviving the indian heat :D

lcd screens like the n900 uses is better in sunlight but not as bright and vivid as o/led screens...

o/led is crisp and beautiful than lcd but bad under sunlight...

manufacturers uses the newer technology because the display is better w/c majority of consumers wants. i guess that sacrifing this capability is being weighed off by what consumer wants...

Re: Sunlight visibility amazing!
 

N900 tr lcd is awful in sunlight!

Its totally readable, active content recognizable that is terrible!

Re: Sunlight visibility amazing!

Re: Sunlight visibility amazing!
 

That's the one I've got, and can confirm, it's absolutely brilliant.
