I got my new HP 20b calculator today.
Price: RM198 (approx. US$57.90 or 45% above US list price)
Serial No.: CNG 8280 XXXX (read: Chinese factory G,year 2008 Week 28 unit no. 0XXXX) The serial no. is a sticker on the back of the package. ( Does anyone know how to check if the serial no. can be found in the calculator as in the HP 50G To see the internal serial number, type:
256 ATTACH [Enter]
SERIAL [Enter]
and scroll to the right )
SW version: 6 24 2008
The mushy keyboard is totally not in the HP tradition, although the double wide Enter key and the beveled keys are there.
Unlike Jose, I like the design although the shiny surface is a fingerprint magnet :-(
