i took a couple with me to europe. de price difference is madness and doesn't make any sense at all. besides that, I'm absolutely happy with the dr800sg, even if i can't use the 3g function. the missing function is a go-to function. yes, you can search a word, but not jump to a certain page. very strange that such a function is not there. our sony prs505, what is a great device to for starters, will leave the house soon.
