I picked up my 89 Titanium for around $125.

89 all the way

Hi, first I wanted to apologise if I post this in a wrong thread. I need help in choosing which graphing calculator that I should buy. Personally, I have been using casio calculators all my life, and I have tried using TIs before but I'm just not used to it. However, since I'm already in university now I have to upgrade from my scientific calculator to a graphing calculator. So I was wondering which one is better, casio FX-9860GII...

TI 89 is my vote as well. Once you get over the learning curve you will never want to switch back. Also look forward to the day you can not stand to use anything but pretty print. I can not use a grapher unless it has pretty print now.

I'll go for the Droid. Oops wrong thread :P Too many Droid threads around. Anyway, the 89 would be better.

Use what the teacher recommends, which is also likely what everyone else has. If everyone's got the 89 and you've got the Casio, you're going to be pretty lost when someone's explaining how to do something on the 89.
