Est. Ship date 12/28 on new SonyStyle orders
I just checked the Sony Style website. Up until recently they listed the Daily Edition as backordered or shipping in January. They are now listing it with an estimated ship date of December 28. It sure sounds like they have received a large shipment from the manufacturing site. This date coincides with my discussions last week with the Sony Style Store here in Vegas. They said they will have them in stock by December 29.

I got the same information about the 900 being back ordered with estimated shipping date of 1-15-10 when I placed my order two days ago. To my surprise, my unit was shipped yesterday and it arrived today!
I hope you all get yours soon. mokeiko |

More info, please? Have you seen a 600 to compare the screens?

I haven't seen the 600 but I own the 700 and the 900 has a better screen. The background on the 900 is a little lighter which makes the text stand out in contrast better than the 700. I really wish a built in light was incorporated like the 700, I read mostly at night before I sleep and having a light is indispensable.
As for features, I like the fact that the 900 has a removable battery (you can get a spare just in case you're away from an outlet for extended periods of time) and the 3G for downloading periodicals, that you subscribe to, every morning. If you want to purchase books, this is a great device to have if you're away from your computer. Maybe someone else who has both the 600 and 900 can make a better comparison but I have a feeling they both might be the same except for the fonts used on the 900 whch I read, from another thread, is better. mokeiko |

It looks like the window is gone. Sony Style is once again showing a ship date of January 15. Congrats to all of you who took advantage of the short opportunity.

Even though I like the sony 300 I just bought, I decided to order the 900 last night at 9p cst. I got an expected ship date of 12/28, and the site said the 900 was in stock. I was thinking it might not last long, but thohht it would last longer than it did. Now I just hope the 300 belongs to the 30 day return policy at best buy.

I've used both the 600 and 900, and the 900 has the same level of reflectivity (glare for some folks) as the 600. Identical screens. But, the 900 has a 16-grey screen versus the 8-grey of the 505/600, which does help. The contrast is a bit better, and for those who play with images, the extra color depth is really noticeable. |

I got a nice surprise today. I had ordered the 900 dec 24 at 9p, and got an expected ship date of Dec 28. Today at 2p, I got another email from Sony style saying that my order shipped today. Sine I pad the 21 bucks for expedited shipping, I wonder if there is a chance I get the 900 on Monday? I'm guessing it will be Tuesday, but one can hope. The tracking number I just got probably won't work until tomorrow or Monday.
