And this thread hints that dictionary look-up is a possibility.

They say they're not phasing out the 505, Mooch. I'd say that choosing a different series number is a point in support of that.

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).

I think the trade in for 505's is still ongoing ... it's still on their Reader page at the moment, anyway ....

Edit -- Oops, it's not on the Reader page that was something else I saw, but I do believe the offer is still ongoing ....

Actually that is not true. I know my HTC Touch phones has quite a few features that works quite well without using a stylus and with moving your finger. In particular, Opera Mobile works quite well without a stylus. As thus the Touchpal keypad screen I normally use.

Someone said earlier that most people are bound to be disappointed because "you can't please everyone". This is absolutely true. The only thing that would have made me personally run out and buy the 700 would be a WiFi connection. I feel like the kid that didn't get the number one thing on my Christmas list!

Last I saw the offer was good until the end of the year. That's why I had waited. There was time to see what they released and still use the offer if I didn't like what came out. I'm still inclined to go for the 700, but would like the trade-in to apply to it.
