Hi Mike,

If you're really in need, and want a Streak, I have two spares, loaded
with XCSoar, and I can fix you up.Â* I got the spares because I like them
so much but they've proven to be quite reliable.Â* See me at the airport
or shoot me a PM.

Im using a Sony xperia Z3, and it works very well in sunlight. Tried a friends Samsung Galaxy 7 that worked well too.



I have a Galaxy 5S with an AMOLED screen which is supposed to be great in direct sunlight, but it is not nearly as visible in direct sunlight as my sold Streak was. Are the LCD screens any better? Are the newer AMOLD screens better than the earlier generation AMOLD screens?

Thanks for any insight.

Thanks Dan.

Would rather have a more modern device with a pressure sensor, if I can find a screen as good as the Streak. There are reports of some being as good or better but the OLED screen (supposedly the best type) used on the Galaxy 5S is not nearly as good. The cheap Moto E phone from Republic Wireless has a better screen than the Galaxy 5S in direct sunlight, much to may surprise. Don't want to make a $500.00 mistake.
