I love my 350 which is very comparable to the 650. Four hours ago I could have hands on the T1 and compared it side by side with the 350:

-Screen contrast was +- identical. The white on the T1 was darker though barely visible and withing the variance of EInk displays. Fonts seemed to be slightly darker.
-Menu on the T1 is slightly more responsive
-Look&feel of the T1 far behind (of course based on my personal impression)
-buttons of the T1 feel slightly cheaper
-frame of T1 glossy which I don't like

Bottom line:

My opinion: If you can get a 650 for the same prize, take it, flash it with PRS+ and enjoy this solid product.
