I have a silver 350 and I must say that indoors it is great, but outside the chrome plated buttons are very reflective and you can easily get a reflection of the Sun in your eyes. Not good! The case itself is not too bad outside, but dark would be better. I notice from the photos on the internet that the colored models like the black 650 have colored matching buttons. I should think they would be less reflective. I used to have a black 900 and I really liked the dark color much better than the silver. Unfortunately Sony only offers the 350 in silver and hot pink in the USA, and I don't want the latter!
