Beware:
AMOLED is definitely worse than a good TFT - ISP with LED back lit.
An important factor that has to be consider for this Super AMOLED is that the light directly beams into eyes from its source which is OLEDs.
All natural vision of human eyes is when the light comes from reflections of light, generated by sun or lamps, over objects: the photon beams don't directly get from source into eyes; also the beam of phones is not reflected as you may think: you don't get back through reflection the original photons from source; the phones are not as ping-pong balls cast back by objects which they hit; the beam is absorbed by objects, converted in energy and the objects emit other photons back in a sub spectrum of the original beam, lower intensity and broader uniformity over object surface thus giving color to objects and thus protecting the eyes from artificial light that maybe dangerous for human retina when comes from artificial powerful punctiform sources. The LED back lit from TFT is diffused over a white panel then by reflection passes though liquid crystals and get into eye so it is a reflected light, not the original light. OLED like CRT colored phosphors or plasma's pixels directly beam the light into eyes thus you are not protected from X-rays and ultraviolet emissions (UV radiation) and high energy photons which make lesions in organic tissue.
So, TFT displays are safer for health than AMOLED and CRT and plasma displays.
That's for sure that there is "No front facing camera for At&t and T Mobile version" Galaxy S handsets. Only Sprint version has front facing camera. Don't know for Verizon version.
When AMOLED display gets 1280x800 resolution Vibrant-like one will be better phone then iPhone in all respects
[deleted post]"All you shmucks whining about UV from the display, you have more to worry about from the RF radiation emitted from the phone than the UV!"
If anyone is shmuck, then that's not those who care about UV. RF danger is urban legend, not supported by any common sense. UV danger is medical fact understandable to any high school basic physics student who is currently not on heavy drugs.
