According to the specs on the Telus web site the screen is a 65K color "touchscreen".
Just FYI - I have been doing some checking and am considering the P4000 as well as the new Diamond; I was looking at Blackberries and even the upcoming Samsung Instinct, but there are some issues with a couple of applications I am looking to make use of, that require Touchscreen capabilities (even a WM non-touch device like the Moto Q won't work). In my research it appears that with the availability of WM 6.1 for the P4000 and the presence of the keyboard not just the touchscreen, the P4000 has some draw. The Diamond is easily the "sexiest" of the 2 devices, but the capabilities appear similar once WM 6.1 is loaded on the P4000. The Diamond has a higher speed processor (600 MHz), but the P4000 uses a duo core design that has a dedicated secondary processor (128 MHz or something like that) for the phone features and then the primary processor at 400 MHz. As a result the P400 may not be as overpowered by the Diamond as it seems initially.
Any input from anyone who has actually done the P4000 upgrade would be appreciated.
