Если значительный (например, все игры имеющие вызовы API DirectX) - то это как раз то, что можно называть существенными проблемами с совместимостью.
Если даже какая-нибудь программа масштабируется на весь экран, но при этом искажаются элементы управления или происходит перекрытие областей вывода - то же самое.
Неправильное положение и/или размер кнопок, графика залезающая на текст - мне подобные симптомы приходилось видеть в разных ситуациях множество раз.
При любом известном мне случае смены разрешения всегда возникали проблемы. Что на Palm, что на Pocket PC, что на Zaurus'ах.......
И я никогда не поверю, что на windows mobile for smartphones наблюдается полная "как прямая, так и обратная совместимость" (это как надо понимать, что QVGA-программы будут нормально исполняться на экране 176х220?).
А совместимости с программами, которые будут написаны для новых поколений устройств, как я понимаю, и не планируется.
Просто чтобы не быть голословным процитирую одну из веток в которой обсуждаются проблемы со смартфоном Orange SPV C550 (цитировать буду только с того форума в котором сообщения на английском - его всем легко читать, но мог бы процитировать аналогичные послания и с франкоязычных ресурсов):
As many of you c550 holders may already know. Their is a lot of problems with playing games on the handset. First of all a few of the games have got the keypad messed up because they were designed for older smartphones. And practically all of the games won't run in full screen. they occupy around 75% instead.
What i wanted to know is has anybody figured out how to get any games working in full screen?

Same problem here , because the games were designed for lower res screens there is little anyone can do, they only way you are going to get full screen games is if they make the game compatable with this phones high res QVGA display
Lets hope some games get re encoded to use the high res screen as they should look awesome on the new screen
---
Well thats sealed it for me.
No c550 shall I buy.
I've spent a fortune on games for the c500 and I'm not about to go down that road again.

Has anybody contacted the developers of any of the games you would like to see working? I know that SBSH are preparing Papyrus & Facade for the new C550 screen rez. I would imagine other developers are thinking the same thing, now that there is a considerably larger amount of screen space. You never know, it might not even involve buying a whole new version! But it would do no harm to begin letting developers know that there is/will be a demand for software in the new screen rez & see what they say, eh?

No response from Jamdat I sent them an email on Friday, Spoke to Sven from Ruttensoft and he's working on an upgrade to the brilliant homescreen designer. I'll mail about VP Mobile now whilst I think about it

I posted on IDreams forum about the their Sky Force game on the 15th July, no one has replied back yet
---
No games no tomtom mobile. I hope the higher res screen was worth the bother.
---
The higher res screen is standard in all Smartphones from now on. In fact, soon enough Smartphone software may require it. It won't take long for most software updates to come...
----
Please please do Dougie Lampkins. I'd given up on this game due to the Button multipress issue on theC500, And now the C550 works fine I can start on my character creations again but the game doesn't run on the c550

So it basicly means that a C550 reports a 176x220 resolution even when it has a 240x320 display? if that's the case.. it won't make things easier..
hardlocking the res on 240x320 on C550 isn't going to help either if the "postage" sized image is centered nicely on the screen.. there is some "compatibility" modus going on here... which is very effective in undermining my "future-proof" programming.
Is there a way to bypass this compatibility thing?
----
What am I doing wrong here?? getting frustrated.. could it be that my C500 (which is using 2003SE) does not support the ExtEscape (xx, GETRAWFRAMEBUFFER, xx, xx, xx) function?
I write the results binary to a file named "debug.dat" and it only shows zeroes.. meaning nothing is in there.. not even the width, height & pitches of the resolution.. extremely bothersome.
I have upped my "alpha" hi-res version (which I do not know if it even works or not on a C550).
I hate Microsoft for doing those things.. really.. but really bothersome.
----
so if i understand this clear then it basicly means that only the prorammers of the software could fix this problem? not the users themselfs? (unless they start learning to code)
or is there a way to fix this in windows itself?
----
no, the fix has to be placed in the software's code
which also means that they have to make their software layouts etc support BOTH resolutions
----
For a while at least programmers still need to support both resolutions (due to the shear number of Smartphones already out there with the 'old' res)
The real fun part is that across PPC and Smartphone we have a load of resolutions to support now
176x220
240x320
480x640
and their landscape equivalents. As well as the square resolutions,
240x240
480x480
So programming apps and games up for this lot is really going to put the cat amongst the pigeons
