Well, I done went and done it, I bought a 505. It arrived this morning and I just opened the box.
The first thing I noticed made me say:
" oh, huh, wow That isn't a TAN cover..."
Every description I read of the 505 said it came with a tan cover (both the silver and the blue) or didn't specify at all ("soft cover") and I was really looking forward to the tan cover (I use the light brown cover on my 500 now) but my 505 came with a Blue(ish?) cover (it IS the blue 505).
I hope at least that a tan/brown cover is available from someone soon.
The second thing I noticed made me say:
" WOW, huh, That is one bright clear screen...."
And it is, I am really looking forward to getting some books on here and reading them.
The third (and final) thing I noticed made me say:
"Hey they were not kidding, it really doesn't come with a charger..."
I wonder if my 500 charger will work on it? USB is great, but I have SOO many things that use USB to charge I dont have enough ports to charge them all <grin>
Does anyone know where I can get a flimsy, thin standard looking brown or tan cover for the 505?
OK off to activate and start using my new 505!
