Re: TI-89 Titanium or HP 50G?

Even if classes ban you from using the TI-89, I still felt it was a useful tool to check your work outside of the classroom/tests. I got my TI-89 the beginning of my senior year of high school and used it for every class I had from then through my entire college career. It now sits on my desk at work and proves its usefulness everyday.

I'd follow the advice of everyone else on here and wait until you know a little more about the situation for using the calculator during tests. When you do decide you need one though, I'd highly recommend the 89.

PS- My calculator was a "regular" TI-89, not the Titanium edition. Many of my peers had the titanium edition, and I'm not sure if it has more features or not, but I liked the look and feel of the regular one much better.
