regarding wi-fi, i don't see the point. i use my reader most while on the move - train, plane, bus, tram... so having wi-fi would be utterly useless. if you need to get online, use a proper mobile device...
The pearl screens should not have the added layer that is now creating glare. If you look at the videos posted online of the 650, it seems the glare problems are gone. But I am speaking without having seen the device myself, so...

I personally like the idea of having wi-fi. It depends on what kind of use you make of the device. But on my PRS900, I would love to have wi-fi when I am not in the US and unable to use 3g. Now, I download stuff through my laptop - but it would be nice to go wireless. It won't change my life, but it's a nice feature to have.
