I just returned from the CES and played with the Harmony One. I have an 880 and prefer the look and feel of the new One. No it doesn't have color buttons, but the remote buttons are layed out much better. The LCD screen is a huge improvement.

I asked a rep about Bluetooth and he said that other than Sony, there really isn't any else using it for remote functionality. Seems like a lot of $$$ added just to please Sony.

He also said that the remote will retail for $249, the same as the 880. They should be on shelves by the end of February. This remote won an award at the CES, I forget what the award was for exactly.

Phillips also won an award for a new Pronto that looks very similar to the new Harmony. The Pronto does have the color buttons. It will also retail for $249 but I forget the model number. Anyone know?

I'd like to see a comparison of these two remotes.
