Lionel, Nspire DID have BASIC from day one. I was part of a teacher-training seminar held in Hendersonville, TN, I think in August of 2007, when the NSpire was introduced. At that seminar, I played with BASIC on my Nspire (non-CAS). It did work. It lacked any type of I/O and the programming interface was very awkward, which were significant limitations, of course, and I suggested to TI that they fix those problems, and they eventually did. But BASIC did work.

Also, that original Nspire had very few bugs, compared to what I have read about the Prime.
