I don't know about the screen being the same. While I do recognize there are lots of differences between screens on the same models (I have seen 950s with very different screens, side-by-side), the screen on the T1 looks different to me. I had my 350, 950 and a T1 side-by-side, and the T1 screen had a lighter background (slightly, but noticeable) and darker fonts (much darker.... not just a different font, simply darker).
Said so, it's a very dubious 'upgrade'. You lose 3g (I personally care about that a lot, because I travel more than I want to and like getting newspapers delivered regardless of my location) and some screen size. The T1 also flashes more when flipping pages (at least the unit I tried). The new software is also less stable - and that's what you have to use with the T1 (unless you don't use SONY's software at all - I do, for annotations).
On the other side, the unit is lighter, faster, the touchscreen more responsive (which matters if annotating). Being able to change fonts and a more precise font-size choice is great - but those things you can do with PRS+. A better browser and better zooming options - but still clunky (it's e-ink... it's never going to zoom like an iPad).
I plan on buying one (waiting to see about all these freezes and about flashing before deciding), but it will replace my 350, not my 950.
