Comment Kudos to HP (Score 1) 318

Like many here, I prefer RPN to algebraic notation - a lot. When my 41CV got stolen (to whoever stole it - may your hands rot of!) I tried to find a good replacement. Unfortunately, by that time the more-or-less acceptable 32s(II) was replaced by the abysmal 33s. I got out my 32e (who remembers those? It was my first calculator back in high school) and being frustrated at having to charge it all the time (everything else is fine ...) I decided to write to HP. In a quite angry mood, I found a feedback form on the hp calculator webpage and let loose with my frustration (nor good rpn, layout unusable etc.). To my surprise, I received a personal reply (!) telling me that soon a new product would be introduced. I said to myself: ok, don't get all excited, just see what happens. Then, a few months later, the 35s became available. Not bad at all, although the shift buttons (blue/yellow) are in the wrong place and so are the operators (+ - * / ). But hey, just because the email I got it anyway, although my brother gave me a 12C platinum edition for my birthday...

Full Ack. I just want to add one thing - fully simlocked phones are common here only if it is a subsidized phone with an ultra-cheap contract or prepay SIM.
Sometimes other phones are sold *net*locked, but only if it's a special offer or a really brand-new model.
T-Mobile Germany's netlocked phones can be unlocked for 99 at once or for free after 2 years. And they are available without a contract.
Except for the iPhone, no other T-Mobile phone with a contract has (to my knowledge) a simlock.

me - not getting an iPhone until Apple and T-Mobile come to their senses and remove the simlock again. Or apply above practice
