No. But then, I haven't seen *most* of the phones on the market, so...

Basically, my question is this: If the technology exists to make a high 
resolution LCD, then why is the iPhone the only device on the market to 
do this?

My computer monitor at home is LCD, and it uses dithering to display the 
full 2^24 colours. (Quite irritating, actually...) But sure, the 
expensive ones can do it properly. (And even my monitor can manage more 
than just black and white without any dithering.)
