Device: PRS-505, PRS-600, PRS T1, Kobo Glo
As soon as the Kobo Glo is on the shelves I will check it out, the missing light was my biggest gripe. I mean Sony tried to alleviate that in the 700 with underwhelming success, but it is still top on my most wanted list.
Higher resolution would have been nice, but not necessary.
The Glo has both and in the same price range.
2012 seems to be the year of lighted ebook readers and Sony just stepped out and said just rename the T1 to T2, matte the bezel, make it look cheaper (in my opinion the T2 is ugly) and add "social" features.
The Kindle Paperwhite looks nice, but as an ePub reading European I'll take a look at the Kobo, their firmware can't be that much worse the T1s shortly after it was released...
If I was younger and less cynical, I would just pre-order the Glo blindly, but - better take a look first.

EDIT:
One thing I might really miss, though are the page turn buttons, I have to see, if I can use the Glo one handed...
