The K608i (a.k.a. K600i) is old news man. It's been around for a long time now; it's an old dog with old tricks. The only new thing about it is the price drop to 10k. It used to be twentyish a year ago. And it's quite unwieldy too.

Isnt this similar to the K500 -> K508 ? Just a cosmetic upgrade.

you mean k600->k608.

yup both are the same. i have the k600 and didnt find any difference between the two. only a few shortcut keys are different as far as i could make out..

^ No, I did mean K500 -> K508 :D

If you notice, there was a similar "upgrade" for the K500i to a K508i back then (you can check the SE site for the model as well). AFAIK, that was a cosmetic upgrade, so this looks to be the same move :)
