I had a chance to play with a black T1 at Best Buy today.

Pro:

The choices of font and size were very nice!

Con:

Audio layout (I see what Bookworm Girl meant now)
RTF no longer supported (I do actually put documents on my 650)

Undetermined:

I didn't deal with the internet function at all, nor did I use the pinch-n-zoom crop feature, which sounds as though it would be good for books in PDF format.

Holding instead of tapping to get a dictionary definition was neutral for me.

So, I think it's definitely a good deal, especially at such a competitive price; however, I don't think I'll be replacing my 650 for it anytime soon.

There was no stylus provided at the store (no surprise there!), but I'd definitely need to have one handy when reading ... which is where the right case comes in.
