Different screen resolutions for Windows phone?

Hi all,

how are different screen resolutions handled for Windows phone? I mean for Android you have that Manifest and can get the real device parameters easily.

How's that for Windows 7 Phone? As far as I've seen you encode the resolution directly into the C# file.

Are there any other resolutions than 480x800 out there?

Xaron,

At this stage it is the only resolution available.

The next minor update 'Tango' was initially thought to implement a smaller screen resolution (for developing countries and cost factors), although Microsoft appeared to recently remove this (480x320) - apparently the screen costs have reduced enough to not warrent.

The next major update 'Apollo' is rumored to include 1280x720 and is expected to be available around this time next year.
