New HP 17bII+ - Jeff - 07-09-2008 What do you guys think of the new HP 17bII+? is it available at Office Depot, etc.? Amazon doesn't have it.
Thanks.
Re: New HP 17bII+ or what's in a name?? - Jeff Kearns - 07-09-2008 So what's next? The HP 17bII++ or the HP 17bIII?
Re: New HP 17bII+ or what's in a name?? - Walter B - 07-09-2008 ... or HP 17bII.V ;)
Re: New HP 17bII+ - Walter B - 07-09-2008 You can buy it in Europe (for the price HP charges in Europe, of course). HTH ;)
Re: New HP 17bII+ - Egan Ford - 07-09-2008 Or here: http://commerce.hpcalc.org/
at reasonable prices.
Re: New HP 17bII+ - Walter B - 07-09-2008 Really looking forward to my visit to the USA. Do you know any off-the-shelf points of sales in the SF/Berkeley area? I won't stay long enough to get it shipped...
Re: New HP 17bII+ - Egan Ford - 07-09-2008 Your best bet is a university bookstore. Office supply stores mostly have TIs (getting ready for back-to-school) and HP business calcs (mostly 12C and 10B2). I find the most university bookstores have almost all HP and TI models at less than reasonable prices.
I'd just order now, have it shipped to your hotel, friends house, etc..., pick it up when you arrive.
Re: New HP 17bII+ - Peter A. Gebhardt - 07-09-2008 You might even get a brand new 19bII as well ... ;-))

Re: New HP 17bII+ - Andrés C. Rodríguez (Argentina) - 07-09-2008 The new (silver) HP17 BII ++ is available in stores here, in Buenos Aires. Street price here is equivalent to US$ 150.- I posted a message about this a week ago.
Re: New HP 17bII+ - Walter B - 07-09-2008 Nice idea! Thanks for the shopping tip, but LA is just a bit too far off.
Re: New HP 17bII+ - Walter B - 07-09-2008 Thanks, Egan, I just googled a bit and found there are plenty of such book stores nearby. In Germany, you won't find too many calcs in book stores but in office supplies. So thanks again for putting me on the right track.
P.S.: Oh, I love it: calcs are "classroom technologies" :)) From the inventors of marketing ;) Edited: 9 July 2008, 5:24 p.m.
Re: New HP 17bII+ - John B. Smitherman - 07-09-2008 Hi Walter. I'd try Office Depot. Enjoy SF! Regards,

Re: New HP 17bII+ - Allen - 07-10-2008 I have found several Silver HP17ii+ on a certain auction-style website recently. All three below the price on Amazon's page. I am very impressed with the new style...
COLORS-the color scheme is a cool retro.
CASE-The Leather case is as close as I could hope to get to the HP-embossed leather cases from the 90's (92169 Series), KEYS- The keyboard is much more firm than the Gold Brick 17bii+. They left the keys exactly where the 17bii left off, making the learning curve passe almost instantly. FEATURES-I don't use the solver, but all other functions are the same as the previous 2 editions of the 17bii. DISPLAY- High contrast 2-line LCD is easy to read.
All in all I'd give a 9.9 out of 10. (Straight 10 if the battery-lid didn't make noise every time it was touched- It is a small audible reminder of Communist Chinese birth on an otherwise solid unit.)
Re: New HP 17bII+ - Peter A. Gebhardt - 07-11-2008 Allen, Is it faster than the Gold Brick 17bii+ ??? Best regards

Re: New HP 17bII+ - Allen - 07-11-2008 I did an amortization for 500 payments of a $500,000 loan at 6% on both. The Gold brick finished about 300-500 ms before the silver model. Edited: 11 July 2008, 8:39 p.m.

Re: New HP 17bII+ - Ren - 07-14-2008 Now I'll have to keep my eyes open It could be confusing though...
"...now do I need a 17B++ or is it a 17BIII+? hmmm, ...oh I just should've chosen to collect TI-30 variants!" (insert smiley here) Ren
