I'm considering getting the 650 and was wondering if the issue with glare/reflection still exist as with previous touch models from Sony? I'm guessing it doesn't since the touch layer is gone and is replaced by some infared censors around the edge of the screen.

I'm very interested to hear if their is any problems with reflection on the new screen. Seeing myself while I'm reading would be a BIG distraction!

Also, how does the battery life compared to older models? Does the infared censors increase the need for repeated charging? Are they constantly drawing power?

I've also read that some people have had success using a micro-usb wall charger to charge the 650. Is their voltage limits to these micro-usb chargers or do they all provide the same voltage? If there is a voltage limitation, does anyone know what the correct voltage would be?
