3.5" is the size of the 480x320 iPhone and iPod touch screens. I own an iPod touch 2G, and believe me, I can think of plenty of benefits of a Nokia Maemo 800x480 OMAP3 iPod touch clone (no keyboard). For me, smaller and lighter is better; like Benson said, I can always move it closer to me face. My n810 and my n800 are tanks compared to my iPod. So, the screen size is actually something I like, it's the hardware (or lack thereof) surrounding it that I would have a problem with.
