I live in the Pittsburgh pa. area. very speedy service.
A few observations. the display is very high contrast.
the blue nd orange color used is quite a few shades
darker than my older primes Two thumbs up.

I did not receive a quick start booklet.

Did with older versions.

My charging cable did not come with a
adapter to plug in a wall socket to charge
the calculator. Charge via the cal. to laptop
port. I prefer plugging into the wall method.
Is that normal to other g2 owners ??

Yep I got two G2 Friday last week and I can confirm they do not come with a wall plug. It does not matter to me since they would have shipped a EU plug anyway which I cannot use in the US.

Lacking quick start manual does not matter to me either.

- I used one of the two provided USB cable and quickly upgrade to the latest firmware from July. Piece of cake!

All in all totally agree with you:
- Delivery was super fast with expedited shipping - less than a week.

The G2 is:
- snappier noticeable faster when you do something more complex
- screen is beautiful with better contrast compared to G1 (subjective)
- the keyboard have the new colors providing better contrast that make it easier to read
- it does have G2 in a circle printed on the back

In summary a really nice upgrade!

Very well done HP!

I'm giving one to my oldest daughter who is starting college, but am keeping the other one for myself
