Question

Has anyone out there used the game face heavily? Does it rub the icons off the hardware buttons?

I've used it a few times but not enought to test the paint. There aren't enough games out there to support it so I wouldn't get it unless you really want it for those few games.

I have no problem with the paint. I take my Prism with me everywhere. The I only "extra" protection I have is the Flip Clip and cover by Tactilis. (http://www.tactilis.com)
I use the flip clip since it is the only thing small enough to allow me to keep the Prism in my shirt pocket.

I've had the Prism since December and have been very pleased with it.

How is the battery life? Are you a power user, or do you just use it a few times a day as a PIM?

That answers the question I wanted to ask. One less thing I "need" to buy.

I use the Prism as a PIM and for spreadsheet and word processing. I also use it for games. I play them on my ride to work and home. Also if I'm waiting for a meeting.

I get about 5 hours on a single charge. I have a charger at work and at home so battery life only becomes an issue when I fly. I have a battery charger that I use then. (The recharge is actually pretty fast.)

I think I remember reading a post saying how Handspring replaced a visor for free, just because the paint was coming off.

And, out of curiosity, what games does it support?

Zap!2016 supports the game face. You can configure other games by changing the action keys but then you are forced to use the game face every time or reprogram if you don't have it.
