Question A little unsure

Hey everyone, I was wondering how it actually is to play a game, or watch a movie on a screen that's only 3.7 inches? I have never had a pda before and I can't imagine what it would be like using 1/20 of my regular computer screen. While playing a game do you constantly have to squint to see the screen? (I was thinking of getting spb airislands if I do decide to get a x50v)
plz help!

I play alot of games on mine, mostly out of boredom at work.
I don't ever have a problem with some of the graphics. But depending on the game, some of the controls are awful. Wheither trying to play using a stylus or a D-pad or both at the same time... like Madden NFL... urg!
Biggest downside to using it to play games, is that it eats up battery very quickly with the brightness & volume up. They're ways around it, but you might have to buy more stuff like a new battery or headphones.

Don't the x50's have a VGA screen?

VGA: X50v and X51V....

As for size... sit where you normally watch TV. Hold your hand up with three fingers sticking out (that's about the size of a PPC screen). Compare the apparent size of the "PPC screen" to your TV screen.... they are probably about the same. And QVGA resolution is similar to a regular TV, VGA is better. So movies look great (as long as they aren't over-compressed!)
