I bought a Sony PRS-650 touch screen reader, absolute shit, can’t use the touch screen as it has frozen. Tried reseting it, still doesn’t work. Shame on u Sony.

I have received an email offering me a free case for my touch edition. I ordered it and I have received the case for the pocket edition, so I can not use it.
I have called the support and they don’t even know the differences between both editions, and they told me that is the same, later they told me that the offer was for the pocket only (was not true as in the email states that is for the touch).

What I can not understand is how a company like Sony is doing this things, it is better not to give anything. I usually was buying sony, but after this, no more. I have bough to my wife the kindle and works better, and 3g free on top.

Here is the the email:

I have had my sony psr 600 for 4 months and love it. I have travelled to Spain and Mexico and have no problem with it holding a charge and love that I can read it anywhere. The downloads are easy and just take seconds to transfer from my computer to the reader. I have a stylus that I use to make notes and also a text availability. I can also switch to 4 different languages. I am so glad I bought this. I love it!

I have just bought the PRS 600 touch. Can`t use it. Bookstore refuses to load on my PC. Sony say its a hardware fault- Im sure its software/ naff compatibility with Vista/adobe
Should be plug & play. Now I`ll have to fight to get a refund no doubt

I have had the sony 505 for best part of a year and not read a book as it will not function properly or accept a charge. Sony say its OK. Well as a book its not ok as you cannot read anything. Total rubbish, I also have an ipod this is brilliant. Forget sony buy apple.

The US version does NOT come with a 3G connection. It is exactly the same as the European version. You’ll need a PC to either load books directly or via a MemoryStick.

If you already have a PRS-505 then you will be disappointed with the screen on the PRS-600 – the touchscreen adds far too much glare/reflection which in my opinion offsets the additional features of the new reader.

Mine is going back and I will keep my PRS-505.
