Here is some excellent info on why 262K colors is rare among WinMo devices.

Nah, just try it on your pc. Set it to 16bit and 24bit, you hardly tells what the diffrenent.

Event theres a diffrent its only a slight. You woldnt notice it anyway when you concentrating doing your application on your pc.
Its the same for mobile device, i think the one the one that make the color seems beautiful is [Contrast, resulution and dot pitch] color depth is also have count but maybe not a significant one.

I notice a difference on my desktop, the icons shadow is darker and looks very jagged, and my background picture does not look smooth, so for me I notice quite a difference.

On a small 3" (yes small compared to a computer screen) screen like the X1 I think it will be harder to tell the difference.
Current mobilephone: P1i and my now old K800i, and before that W800i, V800i, Z600i, and T310. Waiting for X10.

the reason why is because WM is a piece of junk. it's so inefficient that it has to run on lower colours just to prevent it from slowing down to a snails pace.

as opposed to other 'mainstream' OSs with at least 1% market share. for example, the tip of the iceberg can be glimpsed by comparing the hardware requirements of other OSs compared to WM and then doing some benchmarking.
