I own both the 350 in silver and 650 in black, one of which is going to the girlfriend next week for her birthday. Keep in mind, at first I wanted the 650 and ordered mind in black. The girlfriend hinted me she was interested in one as well so I ordered her a 350 in silver because she's not a pink kind of girl. Now I'm in love with her 350 more and more.
Comparing side by side, the 350 wins by 1000%. It's smaller and feels more comfortable when holding with one hand. Sure you can hold the 650 with one hand too but after 8 minutes, I notice my thumb starts to grip on it harder because I'm losing my thumb strength. It's lighter then the old 600 model but still heavier then the 350.
Reading isn't that much of a difference on both for me. Sure you might flip a few more pages on the 350 but when you're into a book, you will not notice the flipping at all.
When both battery have the same capacity, you might end up charging the 350 battery by 2 or 3 days earlier. Both models should last you about a month of reading so it's not like it's going to interrupt your reading anytime soon.
The 6" screen will give you about a 1" paragraph longer really.
The dual media card on the 650 was not necessary. They should have just stuck with an SD slot or a Memory Stick only. It just adds cluttering to the design.
I will not be using the MP3 player at all because I have an iPod, a Blackberry and laptop for that.
After reading my comparison, can you guys guess which one I'm keeping? Hehe.
