Re: would u rather have a qvga than a vga tp?

Why would one ever want to downgrade the screen resolution on a portable device? Some complain about the difficulty to read some of the text at the given resolution of 640x480 on such a small screen - yes it will be difficult for some, but for most it will be a godsend. Not only can you see more, but you get a lot more detail with the same screen real estate. Being someone who has had a QVGA device for years, after a while QVGA just doesn't suffice if you want to: view large documents, view webpages or anything else dealing with a lot of content. Also WinMo looks much better on a VGA device than QVGA (Wisbar Advance 3 anyone?).

As someone looking for a new PPC I would only go with a VGA screen - no ifs ands or buts. The resolution of a QVGA screen won't suffice for a power user like myself and I really see no benefit in having a QVGA over VGA at all, kind of puzzled as to what prompted you to create this topic
