I'm trying to understand how =X= could think differently =)
Here's a pic I took. 700 is on the left (as if you can't tell) The picture accurately represents what it looks like...and in fact may make it look a bit better then what it is.

Ah, now
that's a telling picture! Thank you so much for posting that. The others were all at weird angles and such. This one's perfect!
And I'll say, that it's not that bad at all (even if it is a little worse, as you state). I think I'll be happy to get one when I can... it's not as good, for sure, but it's also not bad... just not as good. And when I used the 505 and found it sluggish beyond acceptability, and see that the 700 meets my needs for responsiveness, I'm happy to give a bit on the screen. Any unit as slow as the 505 (and they're pretty much all that slow) isn't worth more than $100 to me. So it's either the 700 or nothing at this point.
I understand all of these people going nuts over how "bad" the screen is. What I don't understand is how these same people find the slowness of the 505 remotely acceptable. I entered "45" in order to switch to page 45 in the store (I headed in ready to buy a 505) and waited
5 seconds for the page flip to finally occur.
Great picture! Wow... finally
