Now if my Palm came paperback size I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

I think I will be happy with either one I just need to decide. I hope that Sam's Club will have the 2 new Sony's available to view on the 25th then I will make my decision.

In the meantime please feel free to give me more input.
I understand, and believe me I'm not one to delay my purchase much -- I tend to want it now . However, if your choice is between the Sony 505 at $249 and the Sony 600, my opinion is that:
1) The extra features of the 600 are worth more than $50, and
2) You will be able to buy the 600 for $249 or less.

Right now, it looks like the sony offer is $50 credit on your first statement. I haven't tried this myself, but I think what happens is that you apply, you get instantly approved, you buy the 600, and when you get your statement you see the purchase and a $50 credit. If you are thinking of taking advantage of this check in the Sony forum for someone who has actually done this. If you feel like waiting you will probably find a Sony offer for $100 or even $150 off. I think this is the current offer:
