Just got a new toy PRS-600 (Modem Burner) Lotsa pics
So after the big release info, I called my local SonyStyle Store and asked if they had one in stock, they only had black (My choice ) so I asked them to hold it and drove on over before work. I got in my car and took some unboxing photos on my Blackberry........
Don't know how to embed photos so the element of surprise is gone Anyway, PRS-600, excellent device so far in my hour of ownership. The clarity is fine....seems to me just about as good as the 505, I showed comparisons in the photos, I am hoping they get a stock of covers soon as the pouch is nice, but won't cut it. I will post more later as I am at work....just wanted to pop in my post By the way mods.....when a PRS-600 section is made, please move Last edited by DougFNJ; 08-26-2009 at 05:06 PM. |

WOW, the screen looks great! If the Daily Edition looks this good... and can show half screen PDFs. This is getting exciting!

You must have been excited, unboxing in the car. Thanks for the great pics. I'm waiting for more reviews on the screen. In the side to side comparison it looks like the screen on the 600 is a bit more "washed out" than the 505 but still looks nice.
I hope you let us know if you get any eye strain from reading on the 600 as opposed to the 505 and if there is significantly more glare on the 600. |

oh, congratulations !! and thank you for the photos !!! i'm quite jealous. i wouldn't have been able to wait to unbox it either.
the screen really does look very good, that's encouraging. i particularly like the welcome screen, translated into 4 languages, including french. let us know how you like it, when you've had a chance to play around with it !! |

Congratulations, don't envy you, mine is on its way, no wonder Sony dropped 700 like piece of you know what, I forgive Sony only if they provide 700 firmware that comes with a dictionary.
