BTW... does it really matter??? 65k colours is pretty good. Running the PC desktop in 65k colours is mostly good enough (ok sometimes you can notice a small difference if you look very close).

On a screen with such a low resolution like mobile phones I don't think you can tell the difference between a 65k colour screen and a 262k colour screen.

Look under description ... 260K internal and 65K external !

The number of colours definately makes all the difference mate - Look at the difference of picture quality between a T68i and a T610 - mearly the same size screen.

Miles apart....need i say anymore?

not nearly the same size at all - theres a big difference in screensize

T68i 101x80
T610 128x160

and the T68i has only 256 colors
the T610 has 65.000

and theres a world of difference between 256 color and 65.000 color for the human eye - but you need a trained eye and a highquality monitor to spot the difference between 65.000 and 265.000 - nothing you will ever be able to see on a smallsized phone. The type of screen being used in the phone is much more important than if it has 265.000 or 65.000 colors

Hang on a sec ...this dont make sense....

If the T68i is 256 colours and the T610 is 65K the difference is only 64744 but the difference between 65K and 265K is 200,000 colours how can we not tell the difference ?????

Im sure you can mate! We'll have to wait for a 265K phone to come out first

@Anuj
Think about it this way
On T68 you only have 256 preset colors to express the entire color range
On T610 you have 65000 dynamic colors to express the entire color range
The display on T610 will only fall short if there is more then 65000 different colors in the image

[edit]
You can try this on the PC. You will see a large difference between 256 and 65000 colors, but almost no difference from 65000 and upward...

Makes perfect sence for folks that know what Im talking about

Your eye is capable if seing alot more than 256 different colors - actually millions of colors. But once you hit a certain amount of colors the difference between each nuance gets more and more difficult to distinguis. If you take an image with 65000 colors and view it on a 256 colors palete you can clearly see the dithering. But if you take an image with 300.000 colors and view it on a 65.000 color palete its very hard to spot the dithering.

Try opening a 32 bit image on your computermonitor, set the monitor to display only 256 colors, and look at the picture - now its ugly, change the monitor to display 16bit (65000) color and look at the picture, now its pretty, change the monitor to display 32bit (millions of colors) and you will almost not be able to see the difference.

I promise you - you will never be able to see any difference between a phonedisplay with 65k and 265K colors. Its all hype - if anyone says they can

You will be able to see difference if the type used for display change from for instance TFD to TFT or OLED.
