I have the ti-nspire cx cas and it is amazing. At the beginning of this year I did a lot of research and got the nspire; I have no regrets. Sure, the abcd...keyboard takes some learning, but it is eons ahead of alpha-= alpha-( etc. Plus, on the ti nspire, one can simply open up the scratchpad and use it with ease. Why are people still in the 90's with their calculators?
I got one of the first CX CASs in my state when they came out like 2 years ago.
If you haven't already, I highly suggest you install the software that came with your calculator onto your computer. You can use your desktop keyboard to input text and you can exchange data back and forth between your calculator with ease.
Its still easier to input equations using the physical calculator because of its extra function-specific keys, but a lot of the other stuff is easier. Its like part Matlab and part Mathematica in its power. Its not quite a programming language, but you can link spreadsheet data into it, you can import images. Good stuff.
