The revised version of the 92+, and it's not nearly as bulky.

I have one of these myself, and it's a great calculator. Does everything the 89 does of course, but has a better keyboard layout, larger screen, etc. It also has lots more storage space (around 2.5mb, if i remember correctly - which is a LOT considering a "large" program might be around 50k). I bought it pretty soon after they first came out (a year and a half ago maybe?). I guess I just had a bit of money to burn at that point, since I already had an 89 . I did end up selling the 89 later though.

It's interesting when people give you strange looks because they don't know what the hell the Voyage 200 is. Although I would take into consideration whether or not you'll be taking any tests that forbid it because of the QWERTY keyboard - that's why I kept my 89 until I graduated from HS.

I wanna replace my 89 with it so bad, but I don't want to have both at the same time
