I think the better question for yourself is this:
What features is it missing now, and can I wait some unknown period of time for those features to appear?
Rumors are never going to be perfect or spot-on, so waiting is always a gamble. Reality is that the T1's replacement had work start on it before the T1 started shipping. Someone leaking information can start rumors like this one when the real product is still more than half a year out (for a product on a yearly cadence like e-readers). I've worked long enough in a similar industry to say that these sort of leaks do happen, and do completely screw up customer expectations. It's one reason why companies usually remain tight lipped about a product until its already in manufacturing and the team has moved onto the next product.

Well, living in Sweden I had to pay USD ~200 for it, so no great deal here sadly
That's why one of my main concerns about a new reader is the price drop of the last model.
Well, I missed that the alternative reader software had partial refresh support (the ghosting doesn't look too bad either), thanks for the heads up, that's one less issue then =)
Well, the thing is that I haven't opened it yet (return policies in physical stores suck here in Sweden), so I don't really know what I'm missing so far, which would make the wait easier I guess
On the other hand I'm dying to start reading again after a recent "dry spell" =)
And thank you for your thoughtful reply. Your last paragraph kinda reflect my thoughts lately (better a reader in the hand than one in a unclear future
).
Sorry of the off-topic. You can now resume replying on topic
