My PW screen is probably sub-par, as the font appear 'washed-out' when compared to my KT.
The wider bazel is also a plus for the KT.
The battery on the KT also lasts longer than a sneeze. The PW battery is just too short lived, if you use 3g with any frequency.

Said so, in any sub-optimal light (that is, all the time, for practical purposes), I prefer the PW screen. I just wish the fonts were not so... I'll use the same expression again, for lack of a better one... washed out. I guess that is lack of contrast. The fonts on my KT are much, much darker, when you put them side by side.
