The 600 will undoubtedly appeal to some whom enjoy the touch screen capability. This feature comes with a price though and that price is clarity. Call it reflection, glare, frosting or what you will but I think you will be hard pressed to find anyone but JSWolf who thinks that the 505 has more glare than the 600. Based on other threads I have read JSWolf has a unique and singular impression of what glare is.
Glare is the amount of bright light that reflects back from the screen. The 600 does not reflects light back as much as the 300/505. The 600's touch layer does however reflect more but not glare. Put the 600 with a bright light shining directly on the 600 screen and it won't have as much glare as the same light on a 300/505.
