A big thank-you goes to Hutchison Austria for doing what HTC could not: they provided us with a loaner of their version HTC Touch 3G at their own expense!
HTC’s Touch 3G has a QVGA screen. This means that we are looking at a resolution of 240×320 – which might not be high, but tends to be universally supported. But how does the screen fare in a real-world test?
Our first competitor takes the shape of Palm’s evergreen Treo 680. It’s a lovely box and had a gorgeous screen two years ago – the Touch 3G dispatches it with ease:
HP’s ipaq rx4240 has one of the best LCDs ever – it tends to beat the 3G by a razor-thin margin:
Finally, a series of shots next to Nokia’s N96:
In the end, I personally think that screen chromatographies must be taken with a large grain of salt nowadays. The Treo 680, which is the weakest device of the batch, has a screen which is more than good enough for everyday use. The Touch 3G is better – so there really should be no issues whatsoever except for low resolution…
