Answer 1

A big issue is how to design the UI. WinCE seems to still assume the desktop 3-handed user operation (left, right, and mouse), and the event-driven architecture that enables (requires) the user to initiate everything amodally. This often doesn't work very well on a cell phone. Forget pull-down menus. Multipanel windows are not very useful. etc. etc. So many of your fundamental design assumptions and patterns need to be unlearned.
