I do not have the blue one, but from third party's experiences and looking to the pictures on the web it seems that function names and keyes are not so readable: maybe it's not so evident the problem like in the Prime but I'll buy the black one all the life Smile

I must disagree about the colors. I have both types, and the keyboard on the Blue 50g is IMHO better (contrast) and easier to read than the 'standard' 50g. They function identically, can be upgraded, etc. The soft case is provided on newer production black 50g's as well as the blue.

It is an odd fact that the blue 50g keyboard does not photograph well, but in real life it is easier to read.

While I don't prefer the blue plastic case color itself, the keyboard is easier to use and the soft carry case means the blue 50g is very likely newer production date than the black one (if it has the leather).

Which you choose is a personal matter, but just wanted to give you another opinion on the colors and readability.
Hi Bob and Gerald, thank-you, I appreciate your comments.
As a wrote in my previous message, I've just forwarded the thought of other users I read on another HP50g related forum, I'm happy to know that it isn't; actually If I had to choose between a black used and a new blue HP50g, I'll take the first, but now only for esthetical reasons Smile
