Team Gsmarena.com publish review for Samsung OmniaPro devices from Samsung. Basically its kinda like “HTC Touch Pro” (qwerty slide) contender developed by Samsung.
“…The Samsung B7610 OmniaPRO is a very good handset overall with capabilities that can easily match the HTC Touch Pro2 class-leader. In fact the faster CPU and the AMOLED screen are quite significant improvements that one can receive by choosing the Samsung over the HTC .. -gsmarena”

Featuring ultra sensitive 3.5′ AMOLED WVGA touchscreen with 800Mhz processor like Omnia 2. Built in with dedicated GPU for faster and smoother visual acceleration. With brighter AMOLED screen, superb video record quality and standard 3.5mm earphone jack, this would give a hit for HTC because Samsung has what we want.

Brandon Miniman from pocketnow.com highlight this issue during his comprehensive Omnia 2 review. He was claiming the Omnia 2 (AMOLED) has poor visibilty directly under sunlight.

* Im using this pictures as example, this is not Samsung Omnia 2
As far with my experience on OLED (1st gen of AMOLED) screen on my previous DAP (digital portable audio), its quite hard to see under direct sunlight. Its occurs when the screen blackness not much reflect the sunlight which reduce contrasity. Everything on screen is fade and its a bit troublesome. Its important to see incoming call, appointment and on the go. However I dont think most people would use and texting under sunlight. So you might need to take cover for better angle.
AMOLED or not, most touchscreen PDAs has common problem since TFT.

Team Phonearena makes review for Acer F900. Its another WVGA screen with large 3.8′ screen.

“…It has really good sensitivity for a Windows Mobile device and we didn’t encounter any issues with it. Image quality is less striking, because colors don’t gradate smoothly, due to the limited color support – 65k and what´s even worse, direct sunlight turns it into a flawless mirror. That´s how we, your humble reviewers, found out we in desperate need of a shave, although the phone failed to deliver any other useful information.. -team phonarena.com”

Windowsphonemix.com has coming up with Asus 835 review

“ASUS’s glide interface leaves much to be desired. Although more features have been added, but it feels slower than its previous version, which was used in ASUS P565 and ASUS P552W -author review”
I knew it was slow than P565, wvga 3.5′ is reasonable for WVGA ,
