F200 Visibility In Direct/non-direct Sunlight?

[migo]

I've been reading some of the threads on the F100's display in sunlight. My main concern is viewability on the bus... if I'm in absolutely direct sunlight then I expect to be walking and not playing, but there doesn't seem to be a consensus on how it handles. Also, apparently the F200's screen is different in some ways from the F100, due to being a touch screen, so I'm really not sure how much carries over.

If the back light is shut off, is viewability better in sunlight?

If it's in semi-direct sunlight, like sitting on a bus, is it viewable?

Are there games that work better or worse in sunlight?

Is there a protective screen cover that also has an effect on viewability in sunlight (and out of it)?

Somewhat unrelated - how breakable is the F200 screen, if accidentally dropped?

Atleast on the F-100, Payback is horrible in indirect sunlight

have we had any direct sunlight to test it in?

I play on the bus all the time and its been fine so far.

Use mine on the train and it's OK, get hold of some of those screen protectors they cut down glare on the screen too, well at least they did for my PDA, not tried for the GP2X yet
