I got my adult daughter a K3 in August, and it's beautifully clear with wonderful contrast, especially with the sans serif font (which my DXG doesn't have). I've read the review from Tom's Hardware and seen what they say about the K4 display, which isn't very flattering. My eyesight isn't great - I'll probably have cataract surgery in about a year - and I need all the contrast I can get at this point.
I don't like what I've read from some people about the screen on the K4 - and yet there are others who think it's even better than the K3. I'm a little concerned that they're phasing out the keyboard model, would never want a touch screen, and feel like I should make a choice now, while I still have the chance to choose between the Keyboard model and the K4.
What to do, what to do . . . Blossom's experiences with the K4 aren't making me lean in that direction at the moment, but it's so inviting with it's small form.

Get both!
I say from the DX you'll love a K3 but go with the WiFi it's lighter then the 3G. The K4 definitely has a gray background whether it is light gray or gray. It's definitely a different shade. I feel they went with this to match the silver casing. My K3 background is a creme color and the text is as black as you can get. If you find you don't like the K3 return it and try a K4 or vice versa. Amazon is great on returns as I have found out.
