There is no right answer, only opinion, and as stated several times - everyone needs to make their own. At the same time, you folks shouldn't get down on us folks that don't like the 700. We are just voicing our opinion. Is your opinion any more valid? The below statements are fact:
1. The 700's screen contrast, for whatever reason, is not as good as the 505
2. The 700 has some glare issues due to the extra layers above the screen
3. The 700 has an updated UI and many improvements to the usability over the 505
4. The 700 is touchscreen
Now, it is up to each person to decide if the contrast difference is a deal-breaker for them. Is it worth it to them to have the extra power and features of the 700 when the screen is not as good? My opinion was that I wanted the best screen an e-ink device had to offer since this was my first one. After research, I concluded that was the 505. In addition, and I'm in the minority on this, I didn't want a touchscreen because I don't want to wipe fingerprints and smudges off all the time (which in my experience is definately more noticable when you are using the device with the light in the dark).
So to sum it up, I don't think it is right to tell the folks on this board to ignore the negative posts and the device is just fine. The beauty of this forum is that there is a lot of information and people can come here and educate themselves and make the decision that is right for THEM.
