HP 35S Serial Number list - Vincze - 08-03-2007 I notice that there is not a list of different serial numbers for the HP35s. It would be nice to see who has what, and who have bragging rights for the lowest serial number, so can we use this to list who has what. Mine came from Walmart.com. Also, did HP add in the date code somehow to serial number? I will start first.

Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Kevin Kitts - 08-03-2007 I have 72104204.
I ordered directly from HP - but not when they first came out - I waited awhile to see the general reaction/reviews from people that got them... ;-)

Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Chris Haltiner - 08-03-2007 CNA 72103814 Ordered from HP. Display was misaligned, but I have corrected it. Everything else seems to be ok. Crooked serial number (of course). I have another unopened 35s ordered from Buy.com--serial number not visible.
Quote: Teach me to look at my packaging before putting it away. Ok, I pulled the second one back out and the serial number on the box is 72500450.
Interesting to see a new numbering scheme 725x as opposed to 721x. Edited: 6 Aug 2007, 10:58 a.m. after one or more responses were posted

Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Jeff O. - 08-03-2007 CNA72103890 from HP SMB, no problems. (Well, except that people who ordered from Walmart and Samson and Buy.com seem to be getting lower numbers.

Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Dave - 08-03-2007 I got the one right before yours. Right end of display tilted down more than a full pixel. Got another one direct from HP, slightly misaligned on the opposite end. Don't have it handy, so no SN to report there. The LCD is glued to a metal plate. It seems to me that when the LCD floats on this blob of glue it may be skewed one way or another either when first placed on the plate or by moving a little before the glue sets. The metal plate itself is always dead on since it fits securely in the molded plastic case. It's difficult to correct the skew by hand since the glue is very rubbery and bounces right back to it's orignal shape.

Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Bruce Bergman - 08-07-2007 What's perhaps stranger (or certainly more scary) is that Howard and I bought our calcs from completely different sources (his: Wal-Mart; mine: HP SMB) and they are sequentially one number apart. Here's the scary part: Howard and I sat next to each other at HHC2006 last year, and now our calcs are sitting next to each other (in spirit). :-D
thanks, Re: HP 35S -- Online Order Fulfillment - Paul Brogger - 08-08-2007 Quote: Maybe it's not so strange. I saw somewhere on the Wal-Mart site re: items delivered "site-to-store" a suggestion that, should I fail to pick up the item, refuse it, or return it, the item is "returned to the manufacturer". That struck me as odd, and it probably shouldn't be taken as gospel. But I wouldn't be surprised if, consistent with "just in time" inventory, etc., that the online stores outsource the storage and fulfillment to the manufacturer. (Heck, perhaps even H-P SMB outsources that to some specialty outfit.)
They may have come from the same location. (Do you both have your shipping labels?)
Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Matt Kernal - 08-08-2007 Uh Oh. Walmart messed up and shipped me the Devil's 35S:

Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Richard Ottosen - 08-08-2007 S/N 72101948 Ordered July 17, 2007 from e-walmart using "site-to-store". Arrived at local store on July 20, 2007. The display is about 1/2 pixel higher on the right side than the left side. Not noticable in normal use.
Re: HP 35S -- Online Order Fulfillment - Richard Ottosen - 08-08-2007
Quote: I ordered my 35S using e-walmart "site-to_store". The package has a UPS shipping label on it. The shipping lable says that the order was shipped from Wallmart in East Bentonville, AR.
Quote: I checked the UPS tracking information and it said that the package was actually shipped from Cerritos, CA.
Re: HP 35S -- Online Order Fulfillment - Paul Brogger - 08-08-2007 Virtual warehousing! Pretty cool! -- Edited ------------ Actually, Cerritos, CA appears to be the location of a UPS station. I suppose either H-P or Wal-Mart could have a warehouse nearby, so this doesn't prove anything. (I could find no specific mention of Cerritos on either company's web site.) Incidentally, I note that H-P has a presence in Bentonville, AK, according to its careers site.

Re: HP 35S -- Online Order Fulfillment - Matt Kernal - 08-08-2007 So Richard (using my best lawyer impersonation), did you, or did you not, have to pay shipping for this so-called "site-to-store" transfer of merchandise? Don't forget, you're under oath.
In any case, good find.

Re: HP 35S -- Online Order Fulfillment - Richard Ottosen - 08-08-2007
Quote: I did not pay shipping. This would have gotten the calculator delivered directly to me but would have cost $6.97 US. I did, however, have to pay local taxes of $3.80. My Walmart is just over two miles away so I chose the free shipping to there and paid the taxes for a savings of $3.17. :-) I got my order in before the price increase so the total cost for the calculator was $53.79.

Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Paul Brogger - 08-08-2007 Wow! I thought a sorted list of serial numbers was really geeky, but passing those serial numbers as arguments to trig functions . . . Well that just takes the cake!

Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Gerson W. Barbosa - 08-08-2007 It's just that I've been playing with turboBCD lately and have implemented all trig functions on it. I know they are working but I couldn't help testing it with Matt's serial ;-)

Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Dave Colver - 08-09-2007 Finally, a 35S in the UK, Thank You Andrew at Minerva Electronics Re: HP 35S -- Online Order Fulfillment - Jeff O. - 08-09-2007 I'm guessing you would have paid local sales tax even if delivered straight to you. Since Walmart has a physical presence in your state (as they are virtually omnipresent), sales/use tax laws would almost certainly require them to collect the tax on direct deliveries too. So you saved $6.97. But you did have to drive and go in to a Walmart.
Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Raymond Del Tondo - 08-09-2007 Got my 35s parcel today:-))
Came over Spain from Samson Cables.
I have opened the 72105740 blister.
I haven't checked for bugs yet.
From what I can tell so far, this is the best looking Rubber only were it belongs, as the feet.
The tactile feedback of the 35s keyboard is *much* nicer Apart from that, the older 33s was a really ugly beast anyway...

Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Walter B - 08-11-2007 Another one for the record: S/N CNA 72105835, arrived today from Samson Cables directly via USPS Air Mail. Was ordered 7/15 (for US$52.99 + US$20.00 for S/H), shipped 7/30 (late shipping due to some arguments about SC's attempt to charge additional shipping costs). Anyway, I paid 10.06 Euro VAT today, and that was it :) First impressions: LCD is correctly aligned, even the S/N sticker is ;-) Now to the less important stuff: Strong points: Nice shape, very nice keys (thanks, HP!!), reasonable keyboard colors (after more than a decade!), comfortabe ways to enter complex numbers. In total the best RPN calc produced since 2001 (though the calculating power per cubic cm decreased). Seems HP understands better now why their vintage calcs looked the way they looked. Weak points: Silver cursor keys really look like on a TV remote control, plastic housing feels cheap (a more structured surface would have been better IMHO), keyboard space wasted for <-ENG, ENG-> (hey, that calc was meant for professionals - who cannot do these operations by heart, is no), misleading shift keys, glossy LCD window, theta looks like 8 in the LCD. And the case is way too big to contain just such a calc, but I can add some travel documents ;-) To be investigated: Function set & grouping, menu contents, benefit of UNDO (??), how to work with this device in practice ... Summing up: A real lot better than the 33s, still a long way to go for a 42sii. Go on, HP! Edit: (1) To open the blister pack, I needed my Swiss Army Knife *and* brute force! (2) I've to check for all the software bugs reported here. (3) The handbook chapters about SOLVE and INTEGRATE seem to be unchanged for 25 years now. (4) Mechanical HW-wise, the 35s may be a nice platform for some custom projects (Eric? Pauli? Richard? OpenRPN (R.I.P.)?)

Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - lindguini - 08-15-2007 HP 35s Ordered from HP Home on 8/8, arrived 8/11. Display is aligned; serial sticker a bit crooked.
Overall Impressions: After retiring my 10C (1983-1992) and 42s (1992-2005) for concerns that they would get stolen or damaged, I reluctantly took up relations with the 33s (2005) and it's been a compromise the whole way. The guts were good but the presentation was misguided. I wanted to like it more than I did. And then, this summer, I thought I'd see if HP had anything in the pipeline and...presto! Here's the 35s! Was it a cruel marketing joke? The 35s looked too good to be true. It's everything the 33s should have been. Of course, it's a big risk for HP since the 35s will likely appeal mainly to HP diehards who've owned several models over the years (and years, and years). But then again, the classic HP design philosophy and RPN combine to make a powerful statement for those willing to convert. Hopefully, this is just the start of HP's re-examination of how they can re-capture a market soundly dominated (and deservedly so) by TI and Casio. The HP 35s simply strikes the right chords. Sentimental, perhaps, but a long time coming. As for overall value, I'll go an extra mile (and $$) for RPN any day. The 35s comes with an excellent *printed* user's manual and a high-quality, padded, zippered case that allows you to use the calculator without removing it from the case...brilliant. The whole 35s package simply says "quality, with no compromises".
Keep up the good work, HP. Edited: 15 Aug 2007, 12:08 a.m.
Re: HP 35S Serial Number list - Chris Dean - 08-15-2007 My HP35S serial number is CNA 72501069 which I received in the UK on 14th August 2007. I think it looks good, is a great shape, has a good weight and no cosmetic faults. I am very pleased with my new purchase. All I need now is an excuse to use its programming capabilities. Regards
