What design changes would you make to the 505?
I love my 505 to bits. I think overall that it is brilliantly designed but there are a couple of changes I would make.
The number buttons, 1-10, along the right edge get in the way somewhat whilst holding it. I use the buttons to navigate the menu so rarely compared to the time spent holding the device whilst reading with it that I wonder if a simple scroll button would have been better for navigating the menu.
The edges are quite sharp too. I think the design would benefit if they were rounded off a bit. It would make it much more comfortable to hold.
Also many people have expressed their disappointment over how the plastic lugs, which connect the 505 to the cover, break very easily. Is it to much to hope that Sony would find a more durable plastic?
Overall it is a great machine, let down by some simple oversights.
Sony! If you are reading this please note these suggestions for your next model.
