Cheap, simple (but not dumb!), ok case, ok keyboard.
And I picked this one for the exact same purpose: i.e. cheap everyday calc.
This calc. is vastly underestimated due to bugs and inexistent support from hp but still totally deserve attention. I even ended up taking this small thing more seriously to the point I realized it could compare with a 15C.

I'd throw the WP 34S into consideration for good measure. I guess it is really the best handheld you can have right now. Plus it is the cheapest, if you don't mind glueing keyboard labels. And if it really aught to be simple, the WP 31S is a very usable specimen.

But if you just want to buy and use, there are deals on the HP 35s that can not easily be beaten by anything else...

Thé 34s is a fantastic concept but not a very pratical calculator due to stickers on already poor keyboard and pretty poor case. Regarding the price, it was also my assumption that it would be cheap but eventually I had to pay for a second hand 30s, freight, stickers and more (programming with no cable is also a challenge for non qualified people like me). All together the 35s was way cheaper and more rewarding as a practical tool.
