The tech specs and photos don't do the T2 justice.
I took my T1 to a Sony store, and in a side-by-side comparison, the T2 had a noticeably whiter, brighter display with sharper text (frankly, I was shocked by the difference). Page-turns were also faster, and you can now turn off "refresh at each page turn" to reduce the flashing. This worked surprisingly well with no ghosting at all that I could see. The new matte black finish is fabulous (something about the finish and buttons must make it hard to photograph because all the photos I've seen make it look goofy or downright awful). I also liked the new home screen and navigation, though this is a personal thing, not something that's objective or quantifiable.
All I can say is, try one in a store before you decide whether or not it's an improvement.
