Do I get a prize?
Apparently the screens are made by 3 different companies this time round, and the better ones are made by sharp. Unfortunately they fell behind with their production so the other 2 manufacturers have stepped up.

Figures... That's one of the things that made me choose the iPhone. Didn't want the one x as I have the desire and it felt too samey. Didn't want the galaxy s3 as I don't like it and it feels so flimsy.

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
