The integrated help documentation in the CF beta has the generic info, i'll tell you my specific observations from writing this article: http://www.brains-N-brawn.com/noMadMap
Alot of the namespaces are there, as well as the commonly used classes. Methods and method overloads is what you miss the most. i.e. the CF class will have less methods, and the methods that do exist will have less overloads. XML serialization ... alot of this is missing. Typed DataSets are missing because of this. Although you can associate an XSD to a generic DataSet, and then read/write from that serialized file. There is SOAP serialization for calling web services, but I believe there is some bugs in the beta. Also, System.Configuration is there, but not AppSettings. although another guy wrote an assembly that implements that functionality The couple times I have really wanted a method that is missing, I rewrite it ... and then find out it is dog slow on 206mhz. Wrote some object to XML serialization ... too slow to use; ended up using reflection but staying at object level. Wrote the ability to rotate a bitmap ... way too slow; am trying to offload this processing to happen at the web service. More detailed info in my article.
