The manual need more work. It has to be more conceptual than procedural. The display is just ok.
I think this calculator is already a relic. It´s a very nice tool for the geeky engineer, but if you can have Mathematica in a net book, go for it.
Another problem that I see is that if you need to solve simple problems, get a simpler calculator. Given it´s huge number of functions, if you need to do simple stuff, it makes no sense having to learn how this machine works and dive into a menu tree to look for a function.
Also, if you have a smart phone, check for a programmable scientific calculator that runs in it. . And summed up by saying Powerful calculator for the nostalgic engineer. Currently HP 50g Graphing Calculator (F2229AA#ABA) has an overall rating of 8 over 10.
