Personally I see a huge difference between the two, especially on the status bar.

Okay, if you look at the soft keys from the low angle (30-40 deg), then indeed the upside down view seems to be better. But, at the same time, the title bar seen upside down has a color of a washed out underwear. Smile

Bottom line: I've seen worse.

I believe that we're splitting hairs here. I tend to treat the calculator as a *tool*, not as a object of worship. Nothing's perfect, especially Prime, and we need to learn to live with its inefficiencies. We should definitely report flaws to the HP design team and hope that they have honest approach to engineering, and they will listen to customers' feedback. But then it's time to go on with out lives.

(Caveat: some individuals may treat calculators as hobby, and spend every free minute of their lives on playing with them. In this case, it's an exception.)

There are things for which Prime is not suitable for at all, and simple calculators such as EL-W516T or FX-991EX perform way better. I like Prime, but if it not suited for the task, I will toss it into the drawer without any hesitation and use something else.
