Now I think about it there wasn't that much that did use Super AMOLED+, only other I can think of bar the ones you've mentioned is the Lumia 900. Pity.

No, the connectors are different.
Really? Never imported a system. If is is just as simple as choosing English and I get the same functionality of a native system I will just import.

sure, but not for the same price, those who wants colors but also expecting it to be $199 might be disappointed.

Really hope this comes out in EU before Christmas so I can buy one and not feel guilty.

Yep, I have a red and blue Vita 1000 I bought in Japan. just pick English at the initial boot.
All games carts are region free too. And you will have access to whatever PSN store for the country you select.
Use the the round end of a Bic pen to apply slight pressure over the stuck pixel.
Edit forgot to say - this is a good method to use on an LCD monitor and the Vita does have a plastic layer over its screen so it will e more difficult.

You will, with the Vita anyway. It depends on the system (for example, 3ds is region locked and a Japanese system doesn't allow changing from Japanese language to anything else).
As CoachKevin stated, the only different you'll see with a Japanese Vita is that O and X are swapped, and only in the UI, it won't affect games themselves.

Indeed, but I had no hesitation in selling my PSP-1000 for a 2000. The finish was fantastic, but it was heavy, the d-pad was terrible for hitting diagonals, and the Square button felt crap. The 2000 had a hugely superior d-pad (I could actually run and turn at the same time in RE1) and it was much more comfortable to hold over long periods.
The Vita on the other hand started out much better. It could also do with being a bit lighter, but for its size it's not way too heavy like the PSP-1000 was, and is already pretty comfortable. The Start and Select buttons are annoying to hit, but the main buttons are superb, d-pad in particular, so I can live with it. Battery life isn't great, but not anywhere near as bad as the PSP. OLED doesn't go dim enough for gaming in bed, but it's a fine screen in other conditions.
So the 2000 resolves a lot of this... lighter, better Start/Select buttons, better battery life, and presumably an LCD that goes dimmer. I will be very tempted to sell my Vita for a 2000 (particularly if I see confirmation about a screen that can go dimmer), but I will definitely be hesitating much more than when I owned a PSP-1000.

I want a Vita 2000 for my daily so that I can save the OLED for when I need dat contrast.

I thought PSP 2000 and 3000 were nice improvements over 1000.

have you seen the DS4 dock? it too is the sex.
Its interesting here that it is getting its power from the under side of the controller when the normal charging port is on the top. I guess that bit next tot he headphone jack can also charge the controller. Good shit.

That would be ideal... but I'm not made of money!

Stores here in Taipei have it down for a November release. Looks like I'm getting one.

Nice! I almost did too. Holding out hope GE2 gets localized.
Hah, I own 2 out of 3.
yeah, but it's only few millimeters and the vita was already big, so something less than %2 increase is very trivial. Unless in next redesign they cut the size of the screen to 4 inch or make it a PSPgo form factor, Vita will not get any smaller in height & width.
Actually, the increased height accommodate the new rounded start, select & home buttons as opposed to the small oval buttons in OG vita. and the increase in width probably related to the larger oval grip at the back of the Vita2000 -although the touchpad on the back got smaller.
The trend now favor slimmer device, you can see that in smartphones which already getting bigger but slimmer.
Or it could be inductive charging, which would be even cooler.

Dammit Sony, wheres the announcement for the western release!
Not necessarily true. Some non-Japanese games will detect the region of your system and retain the Japanese layout. If I'm remembering correctly (don't have my Vita with me) Quell: Memento and Muramasa both do. I think I remember reading that Dragon's Crown does as well.
As a result, some button prompts are incorrect. Not a big deal though, obviously.

Woah they fixed the start and select buttons. Nice.
So any improvements to the speakers?

The flower design and placement made the sound less likely to be blocked by your hands.

I came in this thread for the cute penguins.
I really like that light blue/white Vita, by the way. Even though I really want OLED.
Light coloured electronics are super under-created. It seems like I'm always looking for electronics like that, but they end up rare.
I may buy a second Vita just for that colour scheme.

Will wait for US version although I'm hoping for more colors. I want the yellow. Had a yellow Pikachu GBC and want a yellow handheld again.
I doubt US will get those colors other than black, white, and maybe gray. In that case, I'll get white since I missed the white OLED Vita.

I like the dock in that pic, but that Vita does not look sexy at all to me. Looks like cheap, plasticy crap. Notably the sections around the buttons/speakers and the border around the screen. Yuck. I'll be getting the pink-black one though. Or maybe Lime-white. I'm surprised they still haven't give us a date in the US or Europe yet. I assume that means 2014 at the earliest.

I actually would have considered one of these if there was purple.
There was a dock for the 1000?

Yeah, I have one of these I usually have it playing some videos under my monitor while I work on stuff.
That stand also have a digital audio out for headphones (gives superior audio quality over Vita headphone jack), I don't think the 2000 stand got an audio out.

Still wish the controller had charging pins, same with the Vita. That was my favorite aspect of the original PSP cradle, you just lay it in there and it's charging, no need to plug anything in. (We'll probably have inductive-charging controllers at some point anyway, but we're not there yet.) Super convenient, there's something slightly-yet-significantly satisfying about not futzing with a plug.
The 3k's dpad alone vs the 1k's, jesus christ. It set off my PSP renaissance. Now I have no idea how I ever managed with the 1k's dpad.
If the Vita 2k's shoulder buttons aren't mushy and don't rock back and the forth like the 1k's do, I might have to get one. Also interested in seeing how account switching works with the built in NAND.
