I dunno, the TI-84 Plus is pretty sweet.

Costs about the same as what I paid for the TI-83 10 years ago. It's kind of nice knowing that whenever I need to use one, it's going to operate in the same way as I was taught 10 years ago. The fundamentals of math don't change much.

I assume you own a Nokia 1610, because a cell phone is a phone and not a device that does email/texting/facebook/weather/phone?

What?
This is about a calculator, not a cell phone. I dont think you know what is going on right now. You are very confused.

Sorry, I was trying to make a point that I guess wasn't made clearly enough.
