With all the 505 messages CLOGGING the Sony forum, I thought it would be a good idea to create a 500 Sub-Forum for us original die-hard true users who are staying with the 1st generation. My reasons for not switching:
1. $400
2. Black suedo-leather case and black plastic moulding is the way it was meant to be.
3. Less buttons
4. Updates for 505 for users - you never know when it will 'brick' on you.
5. Same connect software - Ha Ha.
6. The screen is fine for me, a few luminars is not worth $400 (not directed at new Reader users).
7. Comfort zone. I know my 500, no surprises.
8. $400
9. The bend factor. With it's worn in 5% bend shape there in no where my 500 doesn't fit. Stressed but never broken.
10. Bragging rights.
