It doesn't have a backlight .
Turning off auto-brightness in settings, in video player and on the browser.
Exactly; they're light emitting diodes, they don't need a backlight. This is why i can't understand why there's any sort of glow at all when the screen is supposed to be entirely black

The LEDs are emitting some light though whether it is miniscule or not who knows but some light is being emitted, maybe it's residual power or something.
See the XDA thread for the pictures. Couple of S3s/2s and notes. Hit and miss if you get a pink screen.
My order has also shipped, it says this on the tracking page
Delivery Date: 06/06/2012 between 08:30 to 11:30
Yes.
Just reading the common faults thread on XDA, Has anyone had issues with BT and pairing the phone in the car and using it?
A few have reported it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26805604&postcount=2

I find that after say leaving the phone on standby overnight, it doesn't automatically reconnect to my WiFi network, saying it's not in range, so it's on 3G instead. I have to toggle the WiFi off and then back on to reconnect. Anyone else experiencing this?
This 1000 times.
Plus also post your usage as in texts, phone calls, time browsing, what syncs etc. and most importantly screen brightness.
Have you left eye tracking on etc.
Also never take screenshots for battery related stuff when you still have over 15% left (especially when it still has over 50% left!!!!!!) as with some phones the battery meter isn't consistent i.e. it might take forever to go from 100-50, however, once you hit 50 it drains much quicker then, so wait till at least 15% then screenshot everything.
e.g. just like the below with my 1S regarding battery life:
Usage: few texts, few phone calls, a lot of web browsing, installing/uninstalling apps, about 10-15 min of youtube videos, about 5 photos taken, about 10-15 min of games, about 15 minutes of TV catchup, a bit of GPS, mostly wifi connection and H/3G connection for a bit, snowstorm syncing every 2 hours and sense weather refreshing every 6 hours, general messing around in apps etc. some whatsapp use, gmail push and automatic brightness etc.

So i went to see both colours in the flesh in some stores today.
I have been a big pebble blue lover from the start but after seeing both in the flesh.................i'm now not sure!
In Vodafone and Phones4u the lighting made the blue one look a little dodgy but under the lighting in the O2 shop, the blue one looked a lot better!
Argh,cant decide. now
