I loved my 505 so much that when Sony stopped making it I bought a second unit as a back-up.

I used ebay. Shopintheusa was selling it for $309USD back in November 2009. Shopintheusa provided excellent service but they seem to be out of stock now. Other sellers are now quoting ridiculously high prices such as $525USD.

I'm glad I bought the back-up. It's sitting in a cupboard untouched but I feel a lot less timid about taking my old and increasingly battered 505 on the road.

If I had to buy now, I think I would go for a cheaper but similar device.
