The 50g is so expensive these days, and you can get many 39gs for a decent price.

There's no difference in the software, newRPL will behave identical on the 39gs/40 and 50 series. The differences come from the hardware:
a) As you know, ROM and RAM amounts will vary.
b) SD card is obviously not available on the 39/40 unless you add it yourself (search for a post on that, not sure anybody but the original poster ever tried to do it, but it worked for him!)
c) The keyboard layout in newRPL is for obvious reasons following closely the original layout of the 50g, therefore on a 39/40 the labels on the keyboard have nothing to do with what the key actually does. This could change in the future, but I don't have a 39/40 therefore it's not easy for me to decide where you'd want each key to move.

Save for those items, the newRPL experience is nearly identical on all targets.

Thanks!

If you send me a message with your adress I will be happy to sponsor you with a 39gs if that would help you with the great work you do with newRPL.
