Played with the Sony PRS-T2 in person yesterday, here are a few observations comparing to a 5" 350 side-by-side for those who are thiinking of upgrading:

- it feels lighter than the 350(plastic vs metal)
- screen resolution feels similar, the 350 have higher DPI by spec, but the contrast probably helped in this case. However, prolong usage of retina-DPI devices like the iPad3 has rendered both the T2 and 350 appear aliased
- screen contrast is noticably improved, the blackness of the text remained similiar while the background white is more pronounced whiter, feels like the jump from 500 -> 505.
- the contrast adjustment, page slicing features are still there(IMO, those are the major software advantages for the Sony, I read a lot of 8x11 pdfs aka research papers)
- finger writing is acceptably responsive even without stylus

now if they will only make a smaller form factor

I hope these observations are useful.
What do all the 505, 350, 650 veterans here think of the T2?
