Not only can you alter the background behind the main "menu" screen you can also alter the order of the icons and which ones are actually displayed. So yes, some phone companies do allow you to alter their menu screens.
I looked at multiple pictures, including some of the ones on the french sites with head on pictures (thus no perspective skew). Also Archos lounge shows a 605 by a 604 and you can clearly see the difference in aspect ratio.
I did some measuring and it looks like the 605 has a 1.5:1 screen size ratio and the 705 has a 16:9 screen size ratio. I have no idea why the the 604 would have a 16:9 screen and a 605 would have a 3:2 screen size ratio. Seems like a downgrade to me. I really don't want to either a) watch videos with black bars on an already small screen or b) watch a video with smushed images. Looks like the the 705 will be my choice, even if it is "large and in charge".
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being. Also, as a secondary question, I like the specs on brands such as iBUYPOWER and CyberPower and the like, but are they reliable? I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
