The Prism looks like a mirror image of the Visor Deluxe. A new addition is a very small LED directly across from the microphone hole. This green LED blinks when charging in the cradle and glows steady when the battery is fully charged. I think that would have been a nice touch…. The other difference is with the silk screen area. The background color is now kind of silvery instead of green.

Also, the printing is now a blue color to match the case. The background color is fine, but I wish the printing was black instead of blue. It just seems harder to see… This is more of a personal preference though due to the fact that it takes about 10 secs to memorize what and where each of the silkscreen icons are.

As with the previous Visor models, the buttons have very good tactile feedback and click when you press them. The buttons are a little different than the Visor Deluxe though. The application button tops are all concave instead of just the middle of the buttons like on the Deluxe. The application buttons are the same size as previous models while the up and down scroll buttons are just the slightest bit bigger.

The stylus silo is still on the right side of the PDA. One nice touch is that the stock stylus is better than most.

It has a polished metal body and two screw off ends. The stylus tip end screws off to reveal a reset pin while the top of the stylus unscrews to reveal a tiny Philips screw driver.

The Springboard slot is still in the same location as previous models. All the current Springboard modules should fit and work just fine in the Prism. The back of the PDA is the only part of the case that has been significantly restyled. The back is thicker and curved at the bottom. Due to this change, the Prism will not fit in cases made specifically for the Visor Deluxe because the new unit is just too fat.

In addition, the snap on cover does not fit on the back of the unit. Even though the case is thicker, it still feels comfortable to hold and use. It is a bit heavier than previous models but the added weight is negligible.

But, if you carry it in a shirt pocket, you will probably notice a difference. Over all the Prism feels solid and well made. Something that most people might not know is that the color display that the Prism uses is the exact same display that the Palm IIIc uses.

However, the Palm IIIc uses a different controller so that it only displays a maximum of colors while the Prism can display a maximum of 65, colors. If you look at a Palm IIIc and a Prism side by side, the displays look pretty much the same in all the built in applications. The have the same brightness and contrast. The current shareware version of Datebk has been colorized for months now.

Below are some pictures that I took of the screen indoors without using flash. As you can tell, even with the extra colors, the Prism screen still shows somewhat pixilated images.
