They are otherwise identical except that the UX40 has a silver bezel surrounding the display, and the three quick launch buttons on the bottom edge map to the standard PIM apps instead of Internet apps and calendar. " Is there really any difference between the two models, except for one having just bluetooth? Sk __________________ SK --- AT&T Tilt ordered!

Anyone have pics of both? SK __________________ SK --- AT&T Tilt ordered!

It is true about the buttons (I've used both models). Check out Sony's demo for each on their website to see them. Not that it really matters much since you can re-map the buttons. The UX40 case color is very nice!

I believe I prefer the UX50, but planned on that model anyway for both Wifi and Bluetooth, just to have the option of both. Just thought it strange they are different colors at least on the keyboard and around the screen. __________________ SK --- AT&T Tilt ordered!
