I feel like everyone's saying the same thing: Once both models are out, we'll all hit the closest retail store and check both models out and then decide what we want (and go buy it online for cheaper ). It
is exciting that good product is coming out now though.
Btw, Brighthand has a well-written review on the 55:

Value
The TH55 is going to have to compete against other handhelds with Wi-Fi, and it is priced very well to do so.
At $400, the TH55 is $50 less than HP's iPAQ h4155. It is a bit more expensive than Dell's Axim X3i, plus it offers features neither of those models do, like an HVGA screen and a camera.
It is the same price as palmOne's Tungsten T3, which doesn't offer Wi-Fi.
Conclusion
Two years ago, Sony led the pack in offering feature-laden handhelds at low prices. Last year, it seemed to concentrate on very high-end models, some costing well over $500. With the TH55, Sony is once again offering a model that has a good feature set at a good price.
