Agreed. I wouldn't mind, say, 1000x600 (it would make the browser more usable in non-fullscreen mode for example) but the main issue I have is the way the Chinook/Diablo UI is wasting all those pixels (examples: application menu, RSS & speed contact applets, etc) in order to be "finger friendly". I still have pretty good eyesight and prefer using the stylus (much higher accuracy, keeps the screen clean) so for me this was a serious regression compared to previous versions.

Even if the RX51 had a higher resolution display, the same proportion of screen real estate would be wasted so it wouldn't make much difference.
