I too hope for an HP43S-like calculator some day. No, that's not "insider" information, but a wish.
If there ever is such a beast, I'm 99% sure it will also have algebraic as a mode too.

P.S. However (heresy), there are a FEW things that are easier in algebraic, e.g., complex numbers are easier in many ways on the 33S in algebraic than RPN since you can only have 2 complex numbers on the 33S stack at once. RPN loses quite a bit of efficiency with only a 2-level stack.
