Actually, I don't think they will. The introduction of the X50-Series to the Japanese and Russian market in the last few weeks would be totally BS if they wanted to give up on their e-ink devices. Why spend money on the launch of a product you wanna get rid of?
Nah, my gut tells me the shortage of 650s is due to a shortage in 6" screens. Looks more like they were taken by surprise with the success of the 650 and didn't make their contract with the screen supplier big enough to meet the demand. Both 950 and 350 were available all the time. Only the 6"ers aka as the same size Amazon use are sold out the moment a couple of them hit the stores.
I was told at the Sony Lifestyle Shop Berlin they have a waiting list for them as long as the drive from here to the moon and back.
The reason to buy my spare was more or less to have that particular model ad infinitum as I love it dearly and have a hard time coming up with an idea of how it could possibly improved.
