I just spoke with someone today who returned theirs back in October for a refund and they just received a new one (a 503) today hoping it was fixed and they said it clearly has color hues so they are returning it.
I mention this solely for people who are on the fence about the PW and want to know for sure if the color hue problem still exists. Obviously it hasn't been resolved if even a few people are still getting ones with hues. So I believe it's still the luck of the draw.

Your post and Prodigit's post is why I'm not going to worry about serial numbers right now. As you say, obviously the color hues issue has not been resolved so it's the luck of the draw at the moment. I've got another on the way (502), and if that is worse than my original, I think I'll just stick with the original. Despite the faint color hues, I don't find it difficult to read, and I'm starting to get used to the hues anyway. They're there, but not glaringly obvious. Despite the screen flaws, it's a much better device than my K3, and I can't imagine going back to reading on the K3.
I am, however, a little disturbed that Amazon is still sending out the devices when they clearly haven't fixed the problem. As I mentioned in a previous post, I was pretty shocked at the difference between my original and the replacement. On my original PW, the font is clear and crisp, and besides the faint hues, the screen is pretty white. On the replacement, the text seemed blurry and/or washed out, the screen was yellowish, and there were brighter blotches of pink and green everywhere. Ridiculous.
