I've never owned a k1 or k2, but from my reading, as far as I'm concerned, two reasons:
- Pearl screen: 50% better contrast, w/ better-designed fonts that appear bolder and darker. I hope this translates into more easy readibility in marginal light conditions.
- Webkit-Based browser appears to blow the basic browser out of the water.

That said, I mentioned in another thread, AFTER placing my k3 preorder, I picked up a k2i for $100 shipped on eBay just to test it out. I guess everyone with upgraditis is dumping the old model to make way for the new? I couldn't pass up the good deal. So I'll have the k2 to compare with the 3g+wifi k3 when it comes. If I don't think it's a significant enough improvement, I'll send it back. I kind of think the pearl screen is going to clinch it for me, though, if it really does have 50% better contrast.
