Anyway, do you think HP Prime is the best calculator in the world? (take in consideration that v3 beta firmware has been released). If not, which one?

The word "best" is so subjective as to be useless in most cases. What's best for most people here is useless to me. Since I spend all my time programming and none at all solving problems like the one above, the Prime is far and away the most powerful (and, dare I say it, best!) handheld calculator for me. HPPL is a great language! I just wish there was a native implementation for Windows complete with IDE (not a Prime emulator or virtual Prime).
