Ideally, I would have preferred a Voyage 2 with these formats, but as Harry T has observed on another thread, the Oasis 2 removes some of the key differences between the Oasis and Voyage in terms of battery management and adaptive lighting, which I really like. A wider range of fonts is also welcome.

I have just pre-ordered the 32 GB WiFi/3G model and the merlot leather cover (waterproofing is one thing I am not botheerd about). This was an easy decision for me, despite that coming to over £370, given the advantages of this new model. Last year I hesitated a week before ordering the Oasis 1 as I had doubts. Anyway, I will recoup a chunk of the costs by selling my two Voyages. Am now off to download/upload the new software update to them to see what the new fonts look like. Exciting times!

The new software version isn't available yet, but I'm probably getting ahead of myself, as it's evening now in the UK, but of course not yet in the USA. My bad!
