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...

I'm still hesitated. You know, there is no warranty outside US. Quite a number of users in the hi-pda forum (a Chinese hand-held forum) have bricked their 505 after hacking and some have malfunction screens after charging.
I don't mind the thickness, arrangement of keys, grayscale etc. because as I stated, I am using it to read texts. If ghosting isn't that serious, I think 500 has a more reasonable price considering we lose warranty outside US. Most of the users of 500 in this forum also seems quite satisfactory.
