There are two different versions of the HP-48GII.
The most recent model uses 4 batteries like the 50G and for me the keyboard is as good as the one on the 50G.
The older 48GII models just use 3 batteries and the keyboard is not as good as on the 50G.

Agree completely, the 4 battery version is a much better Kbd: I was trying to keep things simple...

The most important advantage of the 50g over the 48gII beside screen and speed is the SDCARD IMHO, which makes the real difference.

The 4-battery version has both port types as well; the orig 48gII had only the USB port IIRC.

And you are sooo right Gunter!! The SD card really is the biggest differentiator and I totally forgot that point (see how often I use the 48gII...)

In any case, as Claudio summarized - Get a 50g!! You will not be sorry and it's almost the same cost, with a bit more work.
