Insanely crisp.

I have a couple of devices with 2.8" VGA displays and they're absolutely stunning to look at. I know there's a vocal crowd out there who argue that any display less than 3" or 3.5" is hardly usable, but I do consider 2.8" VGA displays very usable and they certainly have a future.

My only rant - and this is more beef with Windows Mobile than display resolutions and sizes per se - is that Tahoma (8pt) is simply the wrong system font to use on Professional devices with VGA displays. Segoe, which is used on Standard devices, would be a far better alternative. Anyway, rant over.
