Nevertheless, xdpyinfo also says that 24 and 32 color depths are supported. Any way to experiment with this? If I write /etc/X11/Xorg.conf with Depth 24, will it work? Is there any program like xrandr which can change the color depth on-the-fly?

I can say its 16 million, I don't see the colour lack like i do on a pc with 65k.
The spec says its 16mill so it is. End of.

funny that, the German site listed as 65k! This is indeed confusing, official europe Nokia did list "up to 65K colour"and GSMARENA listed 16M colour. What to believe? are we all being lied by NOKIA or by ourselves?
65K colours:
http://europe.nokia.com/find-product...specifications
16M colours:
http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n900-2917.php
This can't be right. The N97 mini has 16.5mil colours and listed on Nokia official site.
http://europe.nokia.com/find-product...specifications
But N900 on the other hand has better colour and sharper, much better resolution and still only say 65K?
This is very misleading. Can anyone this this to Nokia and confirm the fact?

This can't be right! Even my N95-1 has a 16M colour. Nokia flagship can't be this low! Can it be possible that Nokia has fallen this cheap???

A machine is only as good as it's slowest / weakest part...
By the same token its all about the sum of its parts too, and their interaction with each other that results in the final throughput.
Everyone comments on the clarity and resolution of my 900's screen. I don't care if its only 16bit colour depth. I'm happy and people envy the screen on my phone.
Nuff sed <big grin>

Since people don't seem to be able to tell the difference anyway (it's really only possible with undithered gradients - but then you see clearly that it's 65k), why should marketing not simply write 16m in the specs as this sounds so much better?
