GSM WORLD

I have been looking at the Nokia 2630 and the Samsung E250

The specs say that they both have screen sizes of 128 x 160.

But the Samsung looks a lot bigger to me. Am I right?

I prefer the Samsung, but I have been told that these slide phone
sometimes make thier own calls. Please tell me that this will not
happen with this model.

Thanks

I dont have the specs of either phone to hand, but I assume that 128x160 is
refering to the number of PIXELS in the screen (that is the number of
individual dots that are used to make up the screen image). This is not a
definitive indication of the physical size of the screen, as pixels can vary
in size, so a larger screen could have the same numbers of pixels as a
smaller screen, just that the each pixel is a bit bigger.
(does that make sense?)
I guess its possible for a phone to make calls by itself if the keypad
hasnt been locked, or if the phone is faulty, but in the first case, just
make sure the keyboard lock has been turned on when the phone is in your
pocket, and in the second case, the retailer or phone manufacturer should
repair/replace the phone if it is defective.
Maybe soneone that owns or knows of someone that owns a E250 could say if
they have seen this problem...?

This is a nice example of the manufacturers confusing customers and
mis-representing the specs.

The figures quoted are for screen resolution (in pixels), not physical size.
The phyiscal size would depend on the pixels per inch (ppi) of the screen in
question.
