it would seem very odd to me to have the resolution be the same between the bold and the storm... the bold's screen is so much smaller size wise. to make the screen size bigger and keep the same resolution would poorly affect the readability and sharpness, i think...
Since the screen doesn't seem to appear 16:9 widescreen, some posted this a while ago at HoFo:
Yeah. 3.25 inches is nice and big. Not as big as iPhone, but it's fine. Anyone know what the aspect ratio is? Is it 16:9, 3:2, 4:3?
Assuming square pixels, 480x360 is 4:3.
4 x 120 = 480
3 x 120 = 360
[NERD] And to go even further with the geometry thing, a 4:3 aspect ratio means it's a 3-4-5 right triangle. Hypotenuse is 3.25", so the height is 2.6" and the width is 1.95". [/NERD]
I measured my phone and it's about the same height as the Voyager screen, but a little wider. That means the landscape keyboard is about the same size as the on-screen Voyager QWERTY.
If you draw the square on paper, it looks pretty small... Only time will tell.

And that's what I'm worried about... 480x360 is better than iPhone but I expect better from the Storm... I'm still hoping for 640x480 which would be 4:3, or 800x480 which would be 5:3...
it has been pretty well confirmed a 3.25" screen? not larger perhaps??
--after watching the video again, this one direct from verizon, i'm leaning even more towards the screen being larger than 3.25" ... could be 3.5 or possibly up to 3.8..... (by my estimations, diagonal size for the storm should be about 5 inches, so there is some room to play with there (yes i know the screen doesnt go from all the way top to all the way bottom... just in the video it looks bigger than 3.25". the video also says its one of the largest screens in the industry, not just the biggest blackberry screen ever.

I think I will do the same. But he can't say too much, though. Whatever he will contribute will be fine.
