Well - yes.
But with antialiasing, at normal phone distances, telling between 140 
and 280 DPI isn't trivial, with normal phone-sized text.

Yes, it makes the text a tiny bit sharper, and if you bring it to 20cm 
from the eye, and have good eyes, you can read 80*25 text on it, but...
If you could knock off 50g by going to 240*320, I suspect I would.
