The site says 1/15/2010 ship date for new orders. Stores are expecting stock between the 8th and 15th as well when I was talking to the employee. I don't know if it was related to the fact that I had a pre-order that I cancelled, and then re-ordered, but I got into the first shipping batch with an order placed yesterday.

Compared to the 505, it depends on what you are looking to get over the 505. The screen on the 900 is identical to the 600's, just taller and with more shades of grey (16 vs 8). And so the 505 still wins here in clarity.

Everywhere else, the 600/900 beat the 505 handily (UI, speed, features).
