Got my hands on an Oasis 2 for the first time and the experience reinforced my preference for the Oasis 1. The Oasis 2 is larger and heavier than I expected. It's not that it is particularly large or heavy; it's just that if you are used to the Oasis 1 and have grown to really like the ability to hold it with one hand and easily put it in any pocket, you may regret the switch to the Oasis 2.

I will say that I can't understand why Amazon dropped the Oasis 1. There is nothing that directly competes or compares with it. IMO, it's only major flaw was the price.
