RE: Vectors in polar coordinates
It is not currently possible at this time to work that way...

Yeah, I'm not happy about it either and really hope to be able to resolve it at some point before too much longer.

Right now though you can work directly in 2D using complex numbers. For example, turn on the complex (x,y) form in page 1 of the home settings. Now type (x,y) just like you did with the 48sx. Pressing the angle key will toggle the selected history item to rectangular/polar. You can also enter directly by doing (d,<angle>num). Note that whether a complex item is in rectangular or polar is *part* of the complex number itself. So they stay in that form instead of all switching back and forth based on a display setting.
