That puts it head to head with the Sony Reader Daily Edition (PRS-950), which has the Pearl screen and 3G. I was hoping the Orizon would come out a little lower - somewhere between the 650 and the 950 seems fair.
These are European prices = VAT included

Sony PRS-650 is €229 in Europe (but €249 in Italy!)

They are overpriced, anyway.

In the beginning we were told that SiPix screens were inferior to eInk's Vizplez, but cheaper. Now they have to measure themselves against Pearl, and they are not cheaper at all!
