Let it remain as it turned out.

Well, i think it is a "polarizing" product.
It's external design recalls the old good HP calcs and cause user's high expectations. The keyboard is decent and easy to read.
But, all in all, is just a 33s with a better dress and more bugs.
In my experience it gives a pretty decent service if used for what it is: a low-end scientific calculator.
The bugs are known and well documented, so it is easy to avoid them.
The most annoying problems in my use are the display, the CRC bug and the lack of a way to import-export programs and equations.
Considering the type of calculator I can live with the one-letter variables and program labels.
Anyway, as of today I surely will not buy it.
Just my 2 cents
