Picked up one of these a few minutes ago at local Best Buy for $170 plus tax. New package looks to be sized for Super Nova and for this model both. The OS is Android 2.3.4 and it has some nice new features that make the now OLD Planet "NOT WORTH" the money. The screen issue seems to be history and the WIFI is lighting fast connecting (my opinion). It is running PD software version PR71 A BN W A C 07232011 (The date of the software seems to be amazingly new). Will report more as I get it setup and working on some apps etc.
Edit 1:
The screen info says: with Capacitive Touch TM. The response is so much better it is amazing!! The layout of the internals is totally different from the Planet. The location of the different controls and ports indicate it is a very different internal hardware. The unit is thicker than the Planet and a little heavier. The front controls still have the silly backlit when pressed design. That's great if you know where they are and don't need to look in reduced light.
Edit 2:
Tried to root and had no success. Seems to be locked down and will need a good developer to crack it for us. Have used 4 different Micro SD cards so far and had no issues with reading them. The 6 second hold to off seems to work very well. It took hours to get the battery charged and I am not sure it is fully charged yet (I could not wait the 5 hours they said you should first time). Loaded lots of apps and found most work. The problem ones are those requiring root and 4zroot fails in that process. ADB driver appears to be same as Planet and lets you into the internals but no way yet to change things.
