Summary: Great tool, great price.
Comment: This is one of the best calculators I have ever used. Functionally, it blows TI out of the water. Takes a while to get used to this, but if you do, you'll be pleased.

Summary: Excelent machine but a little hard to use at 100%
Comment: Well i think the title of this review says everything i want to say.
I'm a engeneering student, im almost finishing my career and its SOOOO helpfull to have one of this machines, you can make almost everything you want with it, you can easy program a multi-solver to make equations sistems and solve all the variables you want at the same time, but here is why i dont give a 5 to this product, the programing language its very weird and not easy to learn, its a little bit anoying when you try to connect it to the pc and finnaly there is not much software available for it (specially for mechanical engeneering).
Here is my recomendation, if you get bored easy and you dont have enough patience to read the user manual dont buy it, a TI would be better for you to use, but if you learn hot to use it will become your best tool for study.

Summary: Nice math machine
Comment: I've had this calculator for a couple of months now so have had a chance to test drive it. I also own a TI 89 so can make some comparisons. First thing is when will these companies stop being so cheap and supply hard copy documentation?(Can you hear us TI and HP??!!) I also purchased the two Urroz books, volumes I and II. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone purchasing this calculator to invest in these books. They are written for the HP 49 but this machine is almost identical. It will help you with the learning curve tremendiously and that lack of hard documentation.
If you should choose this calculator over a TI for the classroom I would suggest buying it ahead of time and learning how to operate it, especially if you are a high school student as your classmates and teacher will probably be more familiar with the TI.
The plus and minus of this calculator is that it has everything you could need. That also means there is a learning curve finding what you need to do. It allows you to use either algebraic or RPN logic. I'm still figuring out which is best in which situation.
One of the best features is the equation writer. This allows you to enter something just as you would write it on paper, not just display it that way but enter it that way.
It is highly configurable with flag and mode settings. Get to know these. It does not allow a split screen like the TI 89. That's kind of a shame. I also think the TI 89 is a bit more intuitive when doing graphics, a bit more of a learning curve here.
It seems to be stronger at doing higher math than the TI 89 with calculus and differential equations. It also has a "step" feature so you can see intermediate results.
The keyboard is user configurable which is nice for specialized applications. You should learn to make use of the subdirectory folder system. The biggest errors you can make are having values assigned to variables without knowing it. You want to keep this clean an organized. Using units is not very intuitive and if you will be using units in calculations such as in a physics class spend some time to know how to use them.

Summary: Should have bought a PDA
Comment: I debated long and hard whether to buy the HP50G or buy a PDA and put an emulator on it. After buying and trying both, I've concluded that the PDA is by far the better way to go. With the PDA you get the same functionality plus a higher-resolution *COLOR* display that's backlit so you can see the display AND the software "buttons" in dim lighting situations. Also there are all sorts of special math and graphing programs for PDA's, plus personal organizers, web browsers, wifi, etc.
Customer Rating:
Summary: abracadabra do my algebra
Comment: I'm not sure what all it can do yet, because it's going to take forever getting through that thick manual. I needed a graphing calculator, and this one was rated one of the best.
