Is the 650 all metal? My 350 has a metal front, but I believe the back is plastic. I'm not sure if the same holds true for the 650.

At any rate, I've read on another thread that the prs-t1 seems to have better contrast than any other Sony readers to date. I've read the same about the new kindle readers as well. I haven't read that either ebook reader has been advertised as having better contrast. Could it be an optical illusion? Does eink fade over time? Or is the contrast really better? Any ideas?

I will be hitting the mall tomorrow in search of a PRS-T1. Wish me luck!
