Thanks el.astrologo, that's good to hear. I will have to return to the SonyStyle store to judge for myself (again). Unfortunately last time the 700 on display had barely any charge, and the 505 didn't have the firmware update (I was interested in the PDF support).

Hopefully this time the sales rep will know more about the device, rather than having me educate him. Some memorable moments:

Sales rep (amazed, then disappointed): "Wow, you can zoom in on PDFs with this thing!? Man, I wish I had known it could zoom... I lost a sale yesterday cuz the guy wanted that!"

Sales rep (of the 700, as it was held beside the 505): "Wow, the screen doesn't look so good."

Please don't respond with "the 700 screen is just fine and perfectly readable". I'm just reporting my disappointing Sony Style experience!
Despite the bad quality of the video posted on Youtube, the screen looks okay - I really have to look again in person!
