Yes, it is… AMOLED doesn’t have backlight, so it reduces power consumption.

Ron is right, it looks like a light sensor.

@James: actually, in the video the user touches the screen twice or three times. However it is interesting to see that you can navigate everywhere in the phone without the touchscreen: that may be used if you fingers are just filthy. Another good thing is the screen is not resistive touch-screen but a capacitive one (i.e. like the iPhone) which gives much more feature (e.g. smoother touch and no need to press down on the screen, simply hover it).

@kungufli

That looks more like a light sensor than a front camera.

This phone looks fantastic.

I watched the video yesterday – did anyone else notice that the user never used the “touch”screen? Might be a silly question but is this definitely a touchscreen phone?

It looks amazing. I’m actually considering if I should get it or not. But not having a keyboard makes me squirm.

UGLY — it looks just like the G1. Way too many buttons — maybe they can’t help that — but the picture taking button looks just as small as the current one on the G1. Thumbs down.

Oh no, and there I went and got a G1 last Friday. Well at least the G1 has a keyboard which none of the new phones seem to have :o)

No one noticed the front camera? But Android 1.5 doesn’t support the videocall…

Tnat’s right AMOLED doesn’t require a back lighting which I believe is the most power hungry part of a screen at the moment. Apparently they are quite poor in sunlight though =o((

I thought that OLEDs use less power, so I would hope that having the AMOLED screen would make the battery last longer.
