My friend with the T2 says her T2 is the same, except under General Settings she has a 5th option: something about Sony Store notifications.

What's going on?

The option definitely isn't there on an unrooted device (T1/T2). But there is the modified homescreen hack for the T1. I'll need to go back to my T1 which has that hack installed and see if it does show as an option there, as I believe it does add some options in the menu (or at least the xml).

I believe Morkl wanted to add it to the options menu, but hasn't yet.

Received my T2 Yesterday, inserted a 32gb Card an uploaded about 3000 books to it without a hitch, the screen is very nice, very Sharp, I like the greater assotment of fonts over the Kindle 4 I have, the Buttons will take some time to get used to if I use them over the touch, they feel kinda cheap. The backing is nice and rubbery. More as I use it.

you said the back is nice and rubbery. which colour did you purchase? as the black is supposedly rubbery all over.

look forward to hearing more and maybe pics. which 32gb card did you use?
the sony manual says some do not work and they can't garrantee it.

I bought the Black, the Back is mostly Rubbery, the bezel is plastic, matte black, I used and transcend card.

Excellent review. I was considering buying the T1 but held back due to the glossy finish. I still love my PRS-350 but I think the T2 might be a nice complement for the times when I'm too lazy to connect the PRS-350 to the computer to sync content.

As I was reading review on engadget app I couldn't copy link. Hope you didn't waste to much of your life looking for the link

Some versions don't include all the dictionaries but I can't tell which ones. That russian thread posted before showed only English and French while the 2 german youtube reviews show the same dictionaries as the T1. Anyone see a version in the US and can confirm? The dutch dictionary isn't so important but if any of the rest (French, German, Spanish, Italian) were missing, that'd be enough to keep my T1. Since they're similar enough, maybe a hack would come out eventually.

The T2 I saw at a Sony Store (U.S.) only had 6 dictionaries: Oxford American English, Oxford English, English-French, French-English, English-Spanish, and Spanish-English.

The video is crap. There's no demo. It's just a picture of someone holding it and doing a voice over.
