I finally managed to haul myself over to the Seattle store to see the 350's and 650's for themselves - they're truly impressive, if I weren't interested in a larger screen for PDF library books, the 350 would be the best value for my money.

They had a 900 on clearance on the shelf as well ... what a brick - it felt like one of those first-generation walkie-talkie mobile phones in comparison to the weight of the 650! Also, the inferiority of its screen was instantly apparent. I asked about the 950, to which the clerk responded he had absolutely no idea when they were due to arrive.

I had been gung-ho about the black over silver, but up close the black seemed almost painted on (they didn't have a red display model out, and I didn't ask).

At this point, I think I'll need to handle a 950 myself before deciding on which to get, as whatever I buy is going to have to last quite a while.
