When one looks at the box or the physical characteristics of the 110, one immediately feels that this machine screams business. Thus, its screen has to be a reflective one; trading extreme color saturation and brightness against outdoor readability. The first reflective screens had horrible saturation and displayed washed-out colors…can the 110′s screen stack up?
TFT screens like the one found on the rx4240 kill transflective ones indoors – photos are much more vivid:
Outdoors(simulated with flash here), the world looks different. The TFT screen needs to be set to highest brightness in order to display a barely-readable image; while the reflective screen can turn its backlight off and deliver almost paperlike images:
Palm’s Treo 680 has been praised to have the best all-round screen – it manages to beat the 110, although the margin is quite a bit smaller:
Outdoors, the two are more-less on par:
In the end, the 110′s screen does not deliver extremely vivid colors – many other handheld’s exceed its screen in terms of color saturation. However, the screen also is extremely big for a handheld – and has pretty good reflective properties. Overall usability is great – the 110 is not a Palm m505… Cutting a long story short: this screen means business…
