It is just for the fun to try out new things.
In fact, the first 3D display was not very usable.
The 3D Sharp technology reduces the amount of horizontal pixels by the
half. So in the previous phone you had then a resolution of maybe 60x130
(original screen was maybe 120x130). 60x130 is just too low.
Now with the QVGA you have a 3D resolution of 120x240 (non 3D around
240x240). So, it looks much better. Also, you now can access the 3D
screen from java, so it maybe just fun to make your own 3D demo on it
(like rotating cubes or even a 3d juggler? -> nostalgic Amiga feelings
:-)

Yep. And they are all CCD cameras, so it looks quite good (tough you
have some distortions because of the small/cheap lenses).
One thing you may compare is actually the screens. SH and N got a 2.4
inch screen which is bigger than the others (2.2). Plus from the type of
the screens:
TFT: D505, SO505, P505, F505, N505
CG Silicon: SH505
The SH505 looks kind of very bright and colourful.

I used it a bit. It looks like a good average phone. Plus it has a good
3d engine built in. Tough, you may not like the design and thickness.
cheers,
