Is Droid really going to have 800 x 480 screen resolution? Are screens with DPI that insanely high really capable of making it into devices sold for $200 with contract?
I've been waiting for a phone with such a usable screen resolution but it never seems to actually come true; it's just rumor. At this point I'd be happy just to get 640 x400.
- randallsquared 17y agoThe Nokia N900 has that as well. Right now the instant availability of a Linux userland has me trending toward the N900, but when they're both out, I'll see how they handle. I chose the G1 over the iPhone mostly on physical use factors.
- byoung2 17y agoI have a Nokia n800 with a 4.3 inch 800x480 touchscreen and it looks absolutely amazing. The n900 coming out soon will have a 3.5 inch 800x480 sceen, so it looks like it is possible to shrink a high-resolution screen down to a smartphone-sized device.
- MuToiD_MaN 17y agoMy HTC Touch Pro2 (Windows Mobile) has that resolution. Verizon has already had a couple released 800x480 screens that run their BREW platform (LG EnV Touch). All are usable but none have the iPhone's hardware graphics acceleration. Kind of a shame, too. EDIT: I should also mention that it cost me about $200 with renewal
