Is a 240x240 pixels screen automatically wider & higher than a 176 x 220 pixels screen?

No, it is dependent on physical pixel size. A Treo 700p has a 320x320 screen which is much smaller than an earlier Palm device's 160x160 screen. Even among the Tungsten and Zire models, the screen dimensions vary.

I was trying to compare the size of the Treo screen with this mobile phone
http://www.xplore.com.hk/m70_en.jsp
It's Display: 260K Color, 2.2” TFT 176 x 220 pixels, touch screen
What's the diagonal size of the Treo?

About 2.5" digonal screen for the Treo.

I'd be a bit worried about the res on the Xplore m70 because it is not a standard res which means that it might not be able to run most 3rd party palm apps.

Thanks for the advice, I'' do some homework before buying it.

Hope it will run third party applications without problem.
