Looks nice in the comparison pics, also looks like $ony listened to people's suggestions on ascetics and ergo-design. I still like the look of the 500 better, call me a sucker for silver accents, and I don't really care for the blatant advertisement on the front of the 505; i.e., bright white block font saying what it is, that should be on the back of the device. On the other hand, I do like the way that indicate what each button is with a little picture on it, hope it doesn't rub off over time.
Thanks for the super-fast review and pics. Awesome!
