Now. Let's see. You're trying to prove a point about the Samsung Captivate. I'll give you credit. You're trying. But here's the deal.

It's still more than 640x260 at 653x392. So I'm asking again... what is your point exactly?. Come back with the 13 pixels x 132 pixels that's missing in the N8 and then let's talk.

Until then, I don't see your point other than it's less on one of my phones... you missed out on the N810 and N900.

And to quote myself:



That's my measuring stick. Not the Captivate; despite it having a (claimed) 800x480 resolution, it's still more than the upcoming N8. And thus... my next quote still stands:



N9 comes out, 800x480, guess where I'll be. I'll give you 9 guesses.

I sacrificed with the iPhone (blame my office) and right now, I'm still ahead with the Captivate... N9 comes... then let's chat.

Until then, your numbers are falling short still.
I have both a Desire and a N900, so don't worry I'm not missing out. My mention of your Captivate is due to your lowest standard of a WVGA screen since you are already fooled by its resolution and still not annoyed. But since you know the N8's exact resolution, that WVGA on its spec sheet is not there to comfort you. Actually you don't even know the resolution, it's 360x640 not 260. So there is lack of 32x13 pixels. Don't even tell me your N810 is your everyday main device, I highly doubt it. If you were a pure resolution whore, I doubt you would buy a Captivate instead of a Droid X or Iphone 4 which offer more pixels that you use. Droid X is FWVGA, so 54 pixels extra in the vertical compared to N810 or N900 that are actually displayed. So what's my point? That resolution viewed doesn't bother you, but the spec sheet for bragging rights.
