The solid feel of the Sony is one of the reasons why I got my PRS-600 in January. I hope mine lasts as long as yours did.

Yeah, I think I'm going to go ahead and send my PRS 500 in for the $75 credit. In the end, if it lasts as long as my 500, the incremental cost difference is pretty small... I like the Amazon book store, and its international capabilities, but I really like the reliability of Sony's reader, its touch screen, and that it uses ePub. I ruled out the Nook since it has an older screen. Its screen isn't terrible, but I like the e Ink pearl.
It chaps me a little that Sony didn't even include wireless on the PRS-650. I would snap it up in a second if it just had wireless (I'm not that concerned w/ 3G). But as it is, I'll grab the PRS-950.
I'm also glad that Sony is coming out w/ an iPhone app. That will make my books portable in times when I don't have my reader with me. Outstanding.
Thanks for the input, everyone!
