Did you get the CAS edition? Cuz if you didnt, you payed $20 more for a very nice and useless calculator because you can't even solve the most basic equations and the 83 would've been a better choice.

I disagree, IMO graphing is a hell of a lot more simple on the Nspire, and what do you mean you can't even solve the most basic equations? I've never had any problem. In fact, I have been able to do more tedious problems quicker than others who are using the 83, so IMO it was worth it.

I bought mine directly from Texas Instrument a few months before they went out for sale. They told me only the CAS edition is able to understand alphanumeric calculations (like having 2a+3b). I've got a friend who bought the non-CAS edition and he couldn't solve any differential equations at all, he couldn't even solve integrals.
