TI-89 Starts Shipping
Posted on 19 August 1998, 17:35 GMT
Texas Instruments began shipping TI-89 units to dealers late last week, and they are expected to hit the shelves sometime next week. They will be available in the U.S. with distribution limited to one major retail outlet. Wider distribution will follow a month later. The TI-89 will also be available in France this month, but we have no information about other countries just yet.

Has anybody had any luck finding out if the TI-89 is available in Canada, or when it will be available. I am in Calgary, and would like to learn how to use the 89 before school starts.

Just bought a TI-89 from Calculators, Inc.
The company is run out of a couples home here in the Twin Cities. It was $133, it's a really nice calculator with great features. No other place we called had them but this place.

UPS just dropped off the TI-89. It was well worth it. Since I never used a 92 before I can't compare it. I have used a 82, 83, 85, and 86 though. The screen is not that bad as people have been saying, it is very easy to read. The menu system is great, and the addition of a text editor is fansastic for keeping notes. According to the book it says it can exhange programs with a 92 plus and 92. So I am going to try to see if I can get any programs to work on it. The 3D graphing is fansastic. Overall well worth the money I paid and it will come in very handy. If you are looking for one, go to www.calculatorsinc.com and give them a call, it is $133 there. Ordered mine yesterday.

So going to calculators.com, I can get a TI89 for about $130 (total price, no shipping and handling), or is there an extra charge?
Also, how much do you thing that the updates of the net will cost each time you want to upgrade the TI89?

I'd like to know where you found this information, since I could not find anything about it at ti.com.
