But no, I don't *hate* the my Prime (and I especially don't hate my wallet ;-) ). I just find it too impractical to use. The reason for me to prefer a calculator to a PC is that a calculator has a user interface which is tailored to enter "math stuff". However with the Prime it is different: I need twice or three times as many keystrokes as on my Nspire, and hence it becomes as inefficient as if I use a PC.
Sure, the CAS is a bit more powerful, but for the rare times I really need a powerful CAS I can use my computer running Maple.
And I am not faint-hearted I would say, since I would describe myself as a "calculator enthusiast" and "early adopter". It's not the software bugs that led me to the decision selling my Prime, since those will be fixed over time. It's the whole use concept. This can't be fixed.
Even if I sell it, I will still follow the further development. And maybe there will be a "HP Prime 2" someday which makes everything better, and then I will try it again. I also want to add that I don't think that everything is bad about the Prime. It has some interesting features and I like that it is not as locked down as the NSpires. But for me it is not worth the money if it is such a pain to use.

But that's really getting a bit OT now :-)

Price is still 120€.

Stephan, I totally agree with your analysis and you made me curious to discover the NSpires!
May be I'll sell the Prime to fund one. Which model would you recommend?
