Which is why I keep hoping (though seriously doubt) the N900 will have OLED. I'd gladly pay the extra for the thinner device with longer battery life (due to less consumption by the screen during use). Besides, OLED's are really starting to drop in price for smaller screens. OLEDs may not have the longest lifespan, but consider how long it will take before they'll be outdated and tossed aside anyway.
