My apologies on the cases. There are three -- black, green and orange, each with dark grey lining. I didn't play around with them much, but they are just protective, not necessarily "smart" covers or peek-thru ones like you see with some for the Galaxy S devices. Nokia also has Treasure Tags (I didn't see these, but they are on the spec sheet they gave me, and I am only noticing them now). These alert you (via the Treasure Tag app) when you are about to leave them behind -- in the app, you can see it on a map. They come in yellow, cyan, white and black.Can you tell us a bit about or show us the covers we partially see in the second photo?
A few moments with a search engine will tell you why. It's not due to AMOLED, but rather due to the TYPE of AMOLED display used. You need either an LCD or an AMOLED with display memory for Glance. Apparently that size 1080p AMOLED with display memory would have been cost prohibitive. They debated the issue heavily and decided to go with the best display they could budget, even at the cost of Glance. It also sounds like they're working to find a better solution for future devices. Running Glance anyway without display memory would have been power prohibitive. I think it would be nice if they at least enabled Glance functionality while it's plugged in. That would slow charging rate a bit, but as an option it's better than nothing.No Glance screen? This is one of the best features of high end Lumia devices, and I am surprised to see it go away. They say it is due to technical limitations, but they have implemented it on other 1080p displays, and other oled displays... so what is the problem?
