I've said it before, but

The Nokia 7710 in 2004 was the first widely available touch screen phone from Nokia.. It had a 640x320 display..

Increasing the number of pixels by 12.5% to 640x360 in 6 years is lame...

Increasing the screen size from 3.5" (2004 - 7710) to 4" on the E7 just makes the low resolution E7 display seem blocky..

3.5" 7710 640x320 in 2004.. amazing
3.5" N8 640x360.. a little bit yawn, blocky, spectrum-resolutiony..

I guess its about catering for the lowest supported spec for the platform.. Maemo has a very high minimum, whereas Symbian^3 still clings to the idea it'll run on a $20 handset, something that really helped Symbian gain market share.. but now prevents it from scaling into the top end effectively..
