I find my old Clie T415 (mono, 320x320) sharper than my newer UX50 (color, 320x480). I prefer the UX50 because its brighter but if the T415 was equally bright it would be preferable. Its text is sharper, chrisper, and more pleasurable to read.
Color screens are less sharp that mono screens of the same resolution. Also, font smoothing is acutally a process to blur the edges of the fonts making them smoother but less sharp. IMHO, the color screen technology in current portable devices is not good enough to match the sharpness of print or of previous generation mono screens.
