Which only makes sense. I more than likely have it reversed in that they want to clear the decks of the 500s. Either way, not offering the trade in/up for 500 owners is only going to alienate those that waited to see what they were going to offer up today. I think they'd be smart to offer it. It keeps existing customers loyal and appeased. I highly doubt that they'd lose much in the way of margin by offering the upgrade since the number of 500s in the world is dwindling (thanks to the 500 to 505 offer).
