FWIW, I've had mine for since Oct 2006 and have none of the ghosting as exhibited in the picture. If you're strapped for cash or just holding out for the next-gen and you can get the PRS-500 for $150 vs. $300, I'd be all over that. I've played with the 505 quite a bit at the store and while it's screen has a higher white/black contrast, I don't like how thin they made the edges and the movement of the number keys either.

Course, if money's burning a hole in your pocket...
