 Much better August 26, 2006

I have used HP calulators since 1973. I own a 49G and a 49G+. The keyboards of these products left a lot to be desired. Even though the 50g is virtully identical to the 49G+, the keyboard and display are much improved. The 50g also has a better look and feel than th 49G+. It reminds me of the old HP quality.

The HP50G eliminates the keyboard problems that plagued the 49G+. With this change, this unit runs head-to-head with the TI89. But if you like RPN as I do, the 50G is the only one to choose. The 50G has powerful programming capabilities. The infrared transmitter and SD card capability is compatible with the 49G+. The manual included is brief, but you can download pdf manuals from HP for the 49G+ that serve well for the 50G. These include the 175-page user's manual, the 862-page user's guide, and the 635-page advanced user's reference manual.
HP calculator quality is back! I expect to be using this model as long as I have the HP11C (still running and in use since 1982) and the HP48G (since 1994).
Three words: keyboard, keyboard, keyboard! August 18, 2006

At first I was somewhat disappointed with the HP50G, since it essentially has the same form factor and functionality as the HP49G+ (which I also own). Just changing the color doesn't justify a new model designation, IMHO. Wait a tick... the keyboard seems a bit better... played with it for awhile... switched back to the HP49G+... ack! I never noticed how horrendous the keyboard was on the HP49G+. The keyboard on the HP50G is velvet in comparison. If you have been frustrated by the clunky, clicky keyboard on the HP49G+, then the HP50G is the answer. Otherwise, stick with the HP49G+, since it is essentially the same calculator.
The most powerful calculator available. July 28, 2006

I just received mine in the mail today. I do not think that it is officially even released in the US; at least, it is not on HP's English language website yet.
This is the first HP calculator I have ever owned and my impressions so far have generally been very positive. It seems just like the 49g+, but with a fully plastic case and keyboard, a serial port, and a four cell battery compartment.
Compared to the TI-89, the HP-50 seems more powerful. The CAS seems a little stronger, it has a lot more built-in mathematical, scientific, and engineering applications, and the hardware is far superior. The calculator runs on a ARM processor similar to the speeds on low-end pocket PCs, unlike the TI-89's slow custom processor, but the CAS runs on an emulated processor, so it is not as fast as it could be. The HP also has an infrared port and a SD expansion card, so it has no realistic memory limits.
Its liabilities are that the screen seems a little smaller than the TI-89's, the calculator is not nearly as user-friendly as the TI-89's, the calculator only comes with a basic manual of about 100-200 pages while the full 900 page manual is only available on CD, and there does not seem to be as much third party support as for the TI-89.
But if you want the most powerful portable mathematical system available in a handheld calculator, this is definitely a must-buy.
