I used to get excited in reading about events of new PC launches, now tablets are the new game. It's so exciting to see new models coming out within a short time. That means I'll wait until the dust settles.

There's lots of rumors that Amazon will be announcing a phone. I presume we can safely assume it won't be called a Fire Phone

I wanted to get a Touch 3G, but there are none left, so I really hope that
1. There will be a new e-ink KIndle, not just a new Fire (not interested at all in a tablet)
2. It will be 3G
3. It will have a glow light
4. And pretty please, can it have buttons too ?
5. Last, but not least : make it available from day 1 in Europe.

If all is in there, I will click that buy now button not once, but twice (I need a device for a friend, and I will get one for me too).
If it is not available in Europe, that will be a real bummer....
Apart from the 3G which I'm not too bothered with (I have a WiFi KK now and haven't found myself in any situation in the last two years in which I would have wanted 3G), this is pretty much my exact wish list.

Interesting how we all have different wants. There isn't one thing on your list that would get me to upgrade from my Kindle 4.

same here. i don't think these makers get the obvious.
either that or they couldn't bring to market on time and opted with something less. the T2.

i'm sure if i buy the T2, the T3 will be front lit. . . but i really don't want to wait another 12 months...i'm ready to buy a new gadget but there's so many on the tip of being announced by apple, amazon, samsung and google.

If it still has TTS. Can't listen to it for long periods of time, but it's necessary for my thirty minute drive to work.

Wait for the Amazon announcements, and the sale that is reported to occur in September for the T2. Then decide. You can't go wrong with the T2 for $99.

Here, T1s are still going for $180, and the secondhand market is moribund (people are asking $185 on ebay, $150 on gumtree). No T2s in sight.
