I went to my local Bestbuy they had the 350 for sale but not on display though. So I could not actually see it. And I would not buy it without seeing it first. They were waiting for Sony people to rearange the Sony readers display next week along with bringing the 650 to the store too.
I am on the fence here between the two.
The 350 looks more portable and easily could be held in one hand. But it does not have wifi nor expansion slots. That's not a big deal, even though the wifi it's nice to have. It is so convenient. I love it with the Kindle.
I almost bought a 505 found in a bargain bin in a store. They were asking 150 for it but considering that the new Sony is out I thought it is worth paying 50 more for the 350 to get the pearl and touchscreen + more shades of gray, let alone that the 505 firmware is not supported anymore.
