I think that with (as HP says) non-converged devices getting less popular VGA screens will become rarer.
VGA screens will suck more juice from the battery and all those (4x) pixels need more processing power. Faster processors doing more work means shorter battery life. As you can understand, battery life is a prime consideration for a phone, so I thnk VGA will be quite rare.
I have a hx4700 and would love a k-jam or simialr, but not sure I could go back to a QVGA screen too, so I'm in the same boat as you. I know the JasJar is VGA but it's just a bit too big (I carry mine around all day) and would feel daft down the pub making a phone call with it!
