> Do you know know many screen resolutions does WP7 support? The answer is 1. WP8 will support 3 screen resolutions. Nokia will not be able to buy any other screen than what is explicitly supported by MS.

Not much change there then, as ITOS on the 770/N800/N810, Maemo 5 on the N900 and MeeGo-Harmattan on the N9, only supported one resolution each.

It's one thing having an internally developed platform that only supports one resolution; you can in principle fix that yourself, and on any given platform the only resolution you need to support is the native resolution of your discrete-element display. It's quite another having your one-true-resolution imposed by your upstream OS vendor (especially if you don't fabricate your own displays - I'm not sure whether Nokia do or not).
