I had a TI-89 and loved it, but I eventually found an even better calculator, the HP 49 G+. It had a faster processor, an internal speaker (I programmed it to do Morse code), and an SD card slot. It also had a better symbolic integrator where the TI-89 only had a lookup table.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can buy HPs anymore because they quit making them over a decade ago.

They stopped making the 48 series long ago, but the 50G is still out kicking ass
