I'm not sure where you heard that but OLED would help in prolonging the battery life by a small amount, but it certainly does not increase battery life by several times, thats a bit absurd.
OLEDs have no backlight - the major drain on battery life. I don't have exact numbers but OLEDs draw a fraction of present displays with backlights.

They also burn out quicker than VGA displays.

Sorry Timmy, SERO does not work with the Pre. If you have an iTouch click me.
OLED technology is new. Display life is the limiting factor now. As life increases, I think that OLED technology will replace other display technologies for everything from TVs to phones.

For clarification's sake, VGA is only a resolution - 640x480 - (and a PC connector), not a type of display. Most phones use LCD or TFT, and a handful of those have VGA or better resolution.

Thanks for that, I got a little lazy there

I read an article somewhere on Wi-max in Baltimore and it wasn't real good. Something about it being microwave and you had to be in line of sight for it to work well.
Maybe they have changed or fixed it.

To be frank, all cell phones work on the microwave bandwidth.

I guess I didn't word that well. It's signal was a directional microwave signal which made hot spots and unless you were in a hot spot, it didn't work. Something like that. If Sprint is involved with it now, I am sure they have corrected the issues they were having.

If you're going to correct the guy it's probably not a good idea to say "LCD or TFT". They are one in the same.

Pixi: Sold. Pre: Passed off to another rep. Touchpad: Just a toy until Cloud syncing arrives, and a better doc editor.
