Sheep: sorry your 300 died but glad you found a 350 at a good deal. The 350 was the model DD wanted initially, but they were no where to be found, even sold out at Sonystyle at the time. I'm going to miss my leather Sony case with the built in light, but my sis will get good use out of it. I don't have much hope in stumbling upon the great case deal you found, but I'll have to be on the lookout. I was wanting to customize covers for my case for fun anyway.
Rizla, we got our DD a T1 for her Bday, really nice device, she loves it. Personally, I like the 5" size of the 300/350, fits in my purse better. I also love the case/styling of the 300/350 models.
Mtid: I confess to rushing to the next RS, 20 miles away to see if they had any in stock, was hoping to get spares for gifts. Glad you were able to come upon the same deal
