5 bits each for red and blue and 6 for green. Who needs more than that?

The only reason I liked it at all was that I created a lot of owner-drawn controls (since the built-in Blackberry "fields" were shit) that used a lot of bitmap memory for animation, and reducing your memory footprint by a factor of two (compared to 32-bit graphics) wasn't worthless, especially for the older devices.
