Just my luck. My PRS-500 has been dead with a broken power switch for a month or so. I saw an ad for PRS-505 at FRYs for $239. So I rushed over and got one this past Saturday. So my luck holds true that they announce the new models on Tuesday. So far I'm very happy with my 505.
The 300, as I read one report has no MP3 playback capability, no SD cards and I suppose there are other limitations as well. The 600 seems to be more on a par with the 700 model.
I do have to say, that in my opinion the cover supplied with the 505 is a step down from the one originally supplied with the 500.
Time will tell if I need to get one of the new ones in the future.
