Notice the pixelated screen in the bottom photograph?</i><br /><br />When it comes to the mobile phone screen resolution, I think the QVGA on my Cingular 2125 is perfect and I am not looking for anything more than that. And on the Pocket PC Phone edition devices I would like to see the VGA screen as a standard. When it comes to the mobile phone screen, I am more concerned about the battery power required to operate the screen and would like to see the manufacturers focus their energies on reducing the energy consumption. What are your thoughts? Would like to see the resolution improved further?<br /><br /><b>Update:</b> While posting this article, I didn't realize that Jerry had already posted it. :oops: Please continue the discussion in the original thread over <a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=68088">here.</a>
