1) Screen size. For a touch oriented mobile the screen is actually pretty small. It would be ok if it was just displaying info, but trying to touch in such little space.... naaahhh.... forget it.
From personal xperience, I consider a 2.8inch (like HTCs Diamond) as bare minimum.
2) Screen Resolution. It is supposed to be a SMARTphone. Those little buggers are used to display lots of information... A VGA resolution would be the proper way to go...
3) Capacitive touch. I think we all know how much better it is...

1. How big are your fingers anyway? A 3x3 (or a even a 4x4) icon GUI plus the"corner shortcuts" fits quite well on the 2.5" screen.
2. The mini is a featurephone built on a smartphone OS. If you want a phone to surf the net on or write a 100 page essay on then get the X10.
3. The screen is capacitive.
