The new remote features improved one-touch activity buttons and a button layout optimized to control digital video recorders (DVRs) such as TiVo. It's also the company's first remote to include the new Harmony 7.0 software, which makes setting up the remote and fine-tuning it on the PC easier than ever.

Looks nice, some cosmetic improvements and a slightly nicer navigation button.

I really like mine, the only beef I have is the proximity of the glow button to the "2" button. At times I've tried to hit glow and have hit the 2 causing the track/channel to go to 2. Doesn't happen too often but when it does it can really screw up the flow of a movie or a show.

It would be nice if they put the glow button on the side, say, where your thumb or index finger naturally rests when holding the unit.

Ergonomically that's a great idea.

I must say

I just bought the Harmony 659 @$129.99 less $30.00 plus another $30.00 cash back from logitech. What was I waiting for? It is nice to sit by the stereo or tv without running the gamut of remotes! I'm pretty sure that the 659 also came with the new software package7.0.2!!

Speaking of Harmony remotes, Costco has the 720 for sale now for $180. Has a color LCD and lots of chrome. Their website makes no mention of it, nor does RemoteCentral. Anyone got one yet?

I have the 659 and use the latest software from the Logitech site.
I noticed immediately the ease of use compared to older versions of software.
The 670 looks nice. Moving the movie/dvr controls to the center of the remote is a great idea. The 659 has them at the very bottom making it difficult/cumbersome to use.
