Can someone with a 7905 jump in?  The wiki says that the display on the 
7905 is higher resolution then the 7960, but doesn't give any details.  
How many lines of text does it show, and does it use a 1-line or 2-line 
format for directory entries?  I'd like to order a phone today, but I'd 
like a bit more information first.
