Where to buy *NEW* HP50G ?

[ctrclckws]

Ordered and received a new HP 50G from Oxford Educational this week.

I am curious about the serial number as a date code though.

The packaging is the simple black package with a 2009 copyright.
The serial number is CNA628..xx (two digits, two letters).

Normally that would indicate a 2006 production date, in July.
BUT it also had the latest firmware on it.

So with the packaging and the firmware, was it produced in 2016 for the Europe/UK market?

hpcalc.org sent me a refurbished 50G also, with a CNA701..xx serial number. This one I can accept as a 2007 January production, since it's a known refurbished item.
