Have you wondered how many different screen sizes are there for the different BlackBerry's out there?

Here is a good link on the RIM Site giving the list of models, screen sizes, themes and the app icons.

http://docs.blackberry.com/en/developers/deliverables/6625/Dimensions_for_screens_images_and_icons_476251_11.jsp


Here are the most commonly used screen sizes,
Strom: 360x480
Tour etc.,: 480x360
8300: 320x240

Here is the interesting part, if you build the app for the Tour you can use the same image assets for the Strom in landscape mode.

Detecting orientation change with older versions
Friday April 2nd 2010
 
Want one application across different BlackBerry devices and also detect orientation change on your Storm?

On the Storm when you go to landscape mode you might want to use different layout and images. To detect the orientation change you can use the api's in 4.7 library, this will force you to build your app for 4.7 and then you'll have to maintain two versions of the apps etc.,

Here is the trick, each time the orientation is changed the sublayout method is called. Use it to relayout the screen in landscape and maintain one version of the app.
