I agree the white is whiter, but the contrast is less on the 300 than the 505 based on my looking at them side-by-side at the Sony Store yesterday. (also true in comparison to an Astak 5" Pocket Pro). The Sony 300 Screen and the PP Screen are the same contrast-wise.

You are right the number of grayscales had no bearing on overall contrast.

The character edges may be sharper due to the smaller pixels of the 300 display since both are the same pixel dimensions.
