The Pantech Vega that just batter Korea may boast a sizable 3.7-inch AMOLED display, but don't expect future phones from the Helios manufacturer to follow suit -- after suffering the same shortages that drove HTC to Sony's SLCD-illuminated entrance, Pantech's also temporarily giving active-matrix organic technology the boot. Now, you may not give two nickels about the technologies in Pantech's next handset, but the firm's got a finger on the industry's pulse. So when an nameless executive says "phones to be rolled out in the first half of next year" won't use AMOLED, that hints at when the shortage for US-bound devices might also let up. In case you're curious, 2H 2011 is when Samsung's next AMOLED facility is slated to open, though by that point AU Optronics and TPO Display should be shipping the screens as well.
