I still have to see one in person, but so far I've gotta say they addressed my own complaints about the previous lineup pretty much exactly how I would have hoped they would (ignoring any price concerns).

That the 950 is supposed to be lighter and use the same style cover as the 600/650 and 300/350 is a huge win as well. I'm having trouble deciding if I should just grab one of the smaller/cheaper models or wait for the 950 myself.

The have them out on display in the Columbus, Ohio Sony Style, but not available for purchase yet. They offer to pre-order them on the website for you.

I told them I wasn't willing to pay interest on impatience!

So much for available immediately

The second store I called told me that they will have their stock on the 15th or 16th.

JSWolf, any luck at yours?
I'll know tomorrow. I don't need to bother to call as I'll be near enough to stop in and have a look.

My order was changed from 17th to 24th. I'm starting to lose patience with Sony.

Apparent;y950 has the same unconventional screen size ratio as 900.

I received my PRS-350 yesterday. The manual states 3 hours via usb, and it has been over 6 hours and it's still charging. Sony support via chat was totally worthless. I am debating about exchanging it via Sony Store on-line or obtaining a refund. Its a great size, quick but concerned about future problems considering the problem I am having now.

Have you tried charging it via a different USB port? I always have to plug both my Kobo and my Sony into the back USB ports of the desktop tower, for example, as the front ones don't provide enough power.

Thank you for the tip. I'll try it.
