2.8" screens are great for their small size and are practically standard in the PDA Phone world, but IMHO, they are too small for most purposes.
Bring on the ultra-thin bezels to accomodate 3.5" screens in smaller devices!

In that case, why not settle for a standalone PDA (i.e., one without phone functionality) with GPS (either integrated or separate)? I really can't see many manufacturers releasing a phone + GPS combo
with a 3.5" screen, because hardly anyone likes a brick anymore. I'd suggest getting either a Dell Axim X51/X51v and a separate Bluetooth GPS module, or the upcoming HP iPAQ rx5000 series which has GPS built-in (note that this is only being released in the Asia-Pacific region, so if you're elsewhere, you'll have to import one).
