The latest whitepaper from Andy Sjöström and Christian Forsberg (with a small cameo from yours truly 8)) has now gone live on MSDN. There's a ton of great information here - it's a highly recommended read for developers interested in .NET and Smartphones. This article covers:

• Developing Phone Applications—key aspects of Smartphone application development
  
• User Interface Design—available controls and best practices for use
  
• Application Data Storage—managing XML files and registry
  
• Using XML Web services—consuming XML Web services
  
• Packaging for Distribution—distributing Smartphone applications
  
• Enterprise Application Scenarios—relevant scenarios where Smartphone applications provide value to businesses

The sample code for this article has tons of useful things in it including a custom control which does automatic "paging" (like the Programs menu) and a snippet to programmatically set the device's input mode to numeric.

It's a great article. I'm just having a go at dveloping apps for my E200 and it should be a big help.
