I think I've got a real use case scenario. I don't have extraordinarily eye-sight. In fact, with two eyes combined I've got just under 10/10 with quite strong glasses. (Not good enough to become a commercial pilot.) I've don a little test with my current smartphone. It has a 2.8 inch qvga display. I've also searched for the smallest, comfortably readable printed text. I found it on the back of my first pda. It's the text "tested to comply with....". Than I've opened word mobile on my current smartphone and typed a little text. I made it as small as the printed text on the back of my oldest pda. The text in word wasn't readable anymore. It was reduced to a random bunch of black and white pixels. Also watching pictures on the qvga screen isn't such a pleasure, but I've never had "trouble" watching movies. Another reason why I'm happy watching qvga movies is because they are much smaller for your phone's memory. Conclusion: I'm certainly a big VGA proponent. Especially when browsing the internet and watching pictures.
