I taken some fairly high resolution pictures of my new Prism.

Here is a link to the "Album"

http://albums.photopoint.com/j/Albu...4&a=9521307

************* Update ***************
WOW! - I hoped this would be of interest to VisorCentralites, but I had no idea how popular it would be.

In the first 2.5 days, the pictures have been viewed over 6000 times!
************************************

Requests/Questions/Comments are encouraged.

ALSO - If you have a picture of your Prism you think I should add to the Album, email it to me. I'll add it, along with whatever description you provide.

Dave

Was it hard to squeeze it in your E&B slipper??

Also where did you get that QWERTY sticker? I use the FITALY-stamp and had to go through the learning curve to find the letters again....

Is the right hole in the bottom a mic or just a hole??

p.s. nice pics!

The "hole" at the bottom right is the led light the blinks when the visor is charging and lights steadily when fully charged. The mic in still on the left.

Grafitti area?

Dave...

Some great pics. Question--The keyboard layout over the graffitti area, is that a sticker or is that the actual display? When you tap on "abc" to reveal the keyboard, is this what you get with the Prism? If so that's really cool.

When the unit is off, is the entire screen black, including the grafitti area?

Would you be able to post some side-by-side pics of a Deluxe and the Prism? Maybe some pics of the default white background on the Prism too. I'm really interested in readability between the two models.

Notice in difference in battery life with that black backround?

TIA,
David

Thanks Dave... those side-by-side shots are exactly what I wanted to see to help me decide whether to buy the Prism. I'm sold!

Good job, thus far.
Could we make a few requests (realizing, of course, you have a life, and can't devote it all to this)?
Could you post a few shots of some of the color apps (that use color well)?
Could you post at least one color map?
Could you post a few AvantGo pages?
Could you post a few shots of famous celebrities, so we could compare with images we're basically familiar with? Maybe one of those old "90210" or "Melrose Place" cast-photos, so we can see how evenly the shots work across a spectrum of faces?
The dog's cute, of course, but basically all white.
The sunset seems a bit dark, though maybe because the backlight's at minimum.
I'm really impressed w/the "ordinary readability" of the plain text screen (and also the "home" screen) vs. the Dlx.
I'll probably get a Prism asap.
Thanks again!

Kenneth...

Thanks for the link. The Prism is less thick than I thought it would be.

PS...VC is such a great forum!

So sdavida...

In your opinion, is the white text on the black background easier to see vs the default setting? Or is it simply a matter of personal preference?

I think that this is a bad posting of pictures for those interesed in the prism. This is not an out of box configuration. Out of box, is color on white background and there is not keyboard stencil pasted onto the front of the Visor. Perhaps this gentleman is selling something ?
