Karel, dpi is irrelevant - dpi is simply a relative term for the number of pixels for a given physical screen size and in the case of the Neo the screen size is very small hence the high dpi.

Web sites are drawn using physical pixels not relative measurements such as dpi. A 640 wide resolution is simply too narrow for the vast majority of web sites, yet an 800 pixel wide screen is good enough for more sites. A high or low dpi will not alter the fact that the majority of web sites need to be reformatted and munged about with in order to fit on a 640 wide screen.

640 wide screens are _so_ 2005...
