i am aware of that.

i don't own such a fancy handset. so, i was just wondering if there are 
something like standards concering ratio of width and height (of dispalys)?
squarish, landscape or portrait-format - probably the third choice should be

if you would have been more patient you would have been given the

unfortunately - i won't have the time to realise my ideas as soon as i would

Thanks anyway - especially for providing such an awesome standard!!
