Told ya gunny. Even systemshock had me questioning myself, but I knew I remembered reading that all the V3c was going to be was the V3 with EVDO. Therefore, it would only have a 65k color screen. That is why I refuted shock so adamantly before I finally gave in.
Hahahhhahah, good deal, you are right! đ
I'm not a cellular jedi, just trying to figure this out for myself. Thanks SF
1. There's really not that much of a difference between a good 65,000-color display and a typical 262,000-color display. As long as it's TFT and decent brightness and quality, most people can't tell the difference unless it's a rare image with specific kinds of subtle gradations (not your average photo). If you can tell, you have better eyes than yours truly.
2. The original RAZR (like most recent Motorolas) can only display 65,000 colors for wallpaper, which is one of the few situations where the extra color shades might actually be noticeable. So the original RAZR wasn't 100% 262K, either.

I will tell you one thing....if it is the same exact screen as the original V3, it is absolutely worthless in bright sunlight. And not the worthless we are used to with VZW where you can still kinda see it....it is COMPLETELY worthless. Take it from me as I have had the original V3 since April. It is really bad, even in my car, on a sunny day.
Glad I live in Washington state đ and when the sun does come out I'm out hiking and will take the wifes v710. I'm still razr happy đŗ
