I think that's why there seems to be a bias. I believe the Sony with the touch screen also is backlit, but the resolution is poorer and it bothered me.
The Sony 700 is not really backlit. Actually, there are LEDs mounted between the proper screen and the display.

I never had problems reading on my iPhone outside, btw! Reading in plain sunlight is not good for your health, anyway!
