I find Ilike the design of the 700 better, however the screen issue is indeed a bummer.
Add this to the reduced battery life, and the page turn buttons not being large anymore, and I don't really know if I would want a device like this anymore...

One way, the slightly darker screen could actually be beneficial when reading in full sunlight.
I can imagine the pure white on the 505 to hurt your eyes after a while.
However, the fuzzyness so to speak...isn't really nice.

But about the touchscreen, if it really has a sensor above the screen you probably don't need to touch the screen (since it would register a touch a few millimeters above the screen). Can anyone verify this?

The screen issue leads me to believe, that it does use a soft plastic layer (soft touch) on top of the screen.. If it does, that could explain the darker and a slightly 'blurrier' screen; or uses a micro small rasterized glass front(hardtouch).That could explain the darker screen.

That'd be if they meant the extra layer to be used as touchscreen.

On the other hand, the plastic/glass layer could also be a screen protecter,to protect the screen from hard presses done when using the touchscreen.

Also in this case, removing it would not be wise.

whenever anyone gets a chance to play with it,please let us know!
