PRS-T2 T2 impression from a 350 user

jakeluck · 09-19-2012, 09:30 AM

Played with the Sony PRS-T2 in person yesterday, here are a few observations comparing to a 5" 350 side-by-side for those who are thiinking of upgrading:

- it feels lighter than the 350(plastic vs metal)
- screen resolution feels similar, the 350 have higher DPI by spec, but the contrast probably helped in this case. However, prolong usage of retina-DPI devices like the iPad3 has rendered both the T2 and 350 appear aliased
- screen contrast is noticably improved, the blackness of the text remained similiar while the background white is more pronounced whiter, feels like the jump from 500 -> 505.
- the contrast adjustment, page slicing features are still there(IMO, those are the major software advantages for the Sony, I read a lot of 8x11 pdfs aka research papers)
- finger writing is acceptably responsive even without stylus

now if they will only make a smaller form factor

I hope these observations are useful.
What do all the 505, 350, 650 veterans here think of the T2?

T2 SW (6") against 350 (5") with PRS+ => No doubt, 350 (I had a T1 and gave it as a present, but my 350 is still with me

)

I got my T2 yesterday. Before i had a 505.
I thought the battery in the 505 begins to failure and I miss the benefits of a modern reader as touchscreen, wi-fi and so on.
The T2 is light and fast. Much better contrast and whiter screen. What i Like most is the connection to Evernote. But the lack of a Swedish keyboard layout I can't accept. Very Bad of Sony!
