Do they? I wouldn't really want to take the chance. Anyway I am not going to dunk mine in water. But I won't have to be obsessive about making sure my hands aren't damp when I pick it up.

That may be enough of an incentive for me, right there, to buy one. I am also looking forward to the comparison photos. From comparison photos I have seen, the text on the PW2 Carta screens is darker and sharper than on the PW1 Pearl screens. I hope this will also be noticeable on the H20.
