Just amazed as to when people are going to break the 256K colors barrier.
Even the latest SE releases like the C902 and C702 are with 256K colours.
Is it just that they feel it is not necessary?

16M color display is useless consumption of battery imho. The 256k displays of

are great these days.

yes, but have you ever seen the N82, 6220 screen for example ???
they are very dull even they have 16 millon colors !!!
(so every 16 million screen arent that good)
im happy with 256 k screens.
(256 k screen use MUCH less battery, which is quite important for a cell phone)

Yeah plank, the Nokia's 16M screens aren't that good after all... The

's screens with vivid colors are great, and less battery consumption too...

You would be essentially wasting CPU cycles for very little difference visually. 24bit color (16 million) is 50% more data than 16bit (65K colors). 18bit is 262K colors. The difference visually between the two is probably not worth the cost in CPU cycles for most.
CPU's typically work with 16bit or 32bit chunks of data, not 18bit or 24bit (where inefficiencies can occur).
Read this thread. It goes into great detail.

I am satisfied with the W910i and K850i display. Not sure about the N95. Does it fare better than the SE's in display , contrast etc?
I have never used a Nokia ever, i am a SE fan

I don't see any benefits from 16M display
BTW. do you know that many people doesn't recognize difference in number of colours between display and camera? they think if the display have 262K colors then photos will be worse than with 16M display

I wouldn't call 16m useless. Nokia arnt morons that they love wasting resources and money on screens that dont make a difference. Even Motorola and samsung are moving towards 16 million

As long as the battery life can support it then there's no reason not to really.
If it meant me having my battery run down more then I could live without it. The screen on the C902 is nice and sharp and the battery lasts a looooong time. I don't see what I'd miss not having 16M colours.

I wouldn't call 16M useless either, NOKIA, MOTOROL PLUS SonyEricsson in their Japanese phones use 16M Colour screens.
My N81s screen looks a lot better than a W880 or W910 screen. The N82 is not bright in general, put a N82 next to a N81 and you will see that the latter's screen is brighter BUT theres now a patch that brightens up the N82s screen i suggest N82 users check Symbian freak modding section.
