I think the 33S is one of the ugliest examples of user interface I've seen for a while. I've no idea how it behaves other than its looks, or how reliable the underlying calculator is.

Yes, I agree it's ugly, but after using it for sometime I found it very ergonomic, easy to use, after you get used to the small enter key and chevron shape keyboard.

Maybe after years using the tradition HP calculators, we became very traditionalists and tending to refute new things.

As for reliability, I think it is, but on the hardware side, mine specimen has already some keys sporadically missing keystrokes.

Overall, I think is a nice calculator, but far from the quality we find in some, let's say, pioneers and voyagers.
