I'm sorry to break into your nice flamewar, but I've just wanted to ask:
pro-QVGA people, are you serious?
In two years (yep, that's when GTA03 will be released judging by GTA01-02)
QVGA will be just like floppy drives on notebooks - totally non completive.
And won't be because everybody *really

When I first saw the Neo's screen I was amazed by how crisp the
graphics were and the shine on the Openmoko logo looked real to me.

the text could be zoomed, and was still readable. I am short sighted

are very clear to me (with the VGA being clearly superior) when kept side by

I'm wrong with all that thoughts?

Honestly, if the freerunner did not have VGA screen but QVGA, I would not
buy it !
For me, VGA is a must have feature. As other said, there are plenty of QVGA
devices. I don't want one of them because of the resolution.

i'm asking the question if going down to a (relatively) low resolution screen
would be an ok compromise.
I would not be remotely as interested in a device which is not, at
least, VGA. As another person mentioned qvga is too small to do any type
