Default pocketnow.com Compares QVGA and VGA Screens

http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=po...&t=news&id=5056

"I've been wanting to this comparison for a while now, but in order for it to be a fair comparison, I wanted both devices in the test to share the same screen size. Recently I procured an E-TEN Glofiish X800 (which has a 2.8" 480x640 VGA screen), making it a good device to compare to the E-TEN Glofiish X500 (which has a more standard 2.8" 240x320 QVGA screen). As you can see in the video, the VGA screen may be considered a novelty by some unless you do a lot of internet browsing or map viewing on your device."

Brandon Miniman from pocketnow.com has done an excellent job comparing a QVGA to a VGA screen - the video is below and shows some of the differences. All things being equal, I'll always prefer a higher-resolution screen - yet the trade-offs in battery life and performance can't be easily ignored. What's your take on VGA vs. QVGA - is it a must-have or a nice-to-have?
