I agree that the 700 suffers mostly in comparison to the 505. If you compare it to a lot of other devices, it's great. But knowing what the 505 looks like, knowing what eInk is capable of looking like, is what makes the 700 a disappointment to me.

I tried several times today to get a side-by-side picture of the two, but kept having problems, because no matter where I was, in what kind of natural light source, from whatever direction, I couldn't get a good picture without glare or a reflection on the 700. So that alone tells me a lot... I may post the pictures anyways...
