So how many words can your cellphone display?

The Nokia 5700 and 6120 both can display 240x320. The Nokia E61i does 320x240. But
for another cellphone (forget the model) it displays 128x192. I suspect the latter is
more typical.

With 128x192 how many characters across can it display? 10? 8? How many down? How
much of that space is used for status bar and other info aside from the text you want
to view?
