"Many" isn't "most", though. Most Windows Mobile devices released are QVGA even today. There are obviously several exceptions, but QVGA still dominates. Therefore, it's "normal" and par, not subpar.
Even if you feel the resolution is subpar, does one subpar feature make the entire phone subpar? I don't think so; it's just another tradeoff. Things like a 528 MHz processor, 512 MB Flash, 256 MB RAM, WiFi G and a 3.2 megapixel camera are definitely
not subpar in a Windows Mobile phone. Personally, I also think it looks kind of cool.
If somebody wants to be disappointed that the resolution isn't higher, that's fine, but there's no need to exaggerate things by using inaccurate (IMHO) descriptions. If you consider any phone with less than VGA resolution to be subpar, that would include the iPhone, Samsung Omnia, T-Mobile G1, etc.
