Back in August I got my new BB Curve 8530. I had only two choices to pick from. The curve or Pearl Flip.
The 8530 had more memory and a track pad etc. I picked the better of the two phones.
A few days later US Cellular released the Bold 9650. I didn't think much about it because I was happy with the phone I got. Until I had a chance to see a real one in a corporate store.
I knew that the screen is slightly larger but what I noticed was the sharpness of pictures and words was a lot better.
When screens are described as NUMBER x NUMBER, is that a measurement of size or picture quality? I always thought size.
If I am correct, how is picture quality represented?
And what about screen size given in inches? Where does that info fit in?
I'm just a little confused on all the different terms used. Any explanations would be helpful.

The "number x number" is referring to the screens pixel count. Example: The Bold and Torch have the same resolution (just swapped around). 480x360 and 360x480. Because the Bold has the same pixel count on a smaller screen, that makes it appear sharper.
