Also I can't miss the fact that it has a MS slot which is quite useful 'cos my camera is using MS but a proprietary cable and so I can ditch the cable or the MS card reader.
The 950 really is great. There are some complaints about the font (I don't have any issues with it), and there's a big jump from small to medium sized text (choices are xs, s, m, l, xl, I usually read on small). Its battery life is about 2 weeks. The browser's good (not great, but just fine), the touchscreen's amazing. You can write notes with the stylus (a little slow, and you have to write kind of big) or with a keyboard (also a little slow, but it keeps up). Double-tapping to look up a word in the dictionary is one of my favorite features, and swiping to turn pages is effortless.

If you're near a Best Buy, try it out. From your preferences it seems like it would be a good fit.
