Comparing 3.5" And 2.8" Screens
Posted by Janak Parekh in "ARTICLE" @ 01:45 PM
There are at least two Pocket PC Phones hitting the market in the near future that will feature 2.8" screens: the MPx and the HTC Magician. While I personally find 2.8" screens reasonably comfortable to read, people have debated how useful they'll be. Arne, over at PPCW, gives us some insightful commentary on the subject. What do you think?
"The photo above reflects a 1:1 comparison between a larger 3.5 inches screen and a 2.8 inches screen...While the MPx screen is 0.7 inches smaller than the Xda III screen it is sharper but the missing 0.7 inches makes it hard to use it without a stylus but thumbs only, I'm often use for a quick navigation through the screens. On the other hand, I don't have the feeling in my daily use that a 2.8 inches screen is too small and I never had the wish to have a larger screen."
