they've got an embedded frontlighting option.

If we can get Super AMOLED display, it would be great. On my Samsung Galaxy
S it looks really great. And it looks good in daylight, too.

 Hi!
 I didn't make any precise measure but I can say that my neo after 32
 hours is in (very) low battery, I only sent few messages (sms) and I
 used the gps for 5 minutes.

Do you have deep sleep enabled? Is your battery in good condition?

I had 5 days - that was measured with 2.6.37 kernel - but that kernel had some 
bug for me which prevent from daily use (sometimes didnt wake or woken with 
vibrator on).

I havent tried current 2.6.34 kernel.

Deep sleep enabled and the battery seems to be in good condition. I use 
my moko as a daily phone so I can't make an accurate test for now. Five 
days is really good!

What about NOVA display then (LG Optimus Black)? They have reported, it  
uses 40% energy less than Amoled display.
