Why did Dell put such a useless calculator on thier AXIM, you can't use decimals or commas........... at least to my knowledge.

The calculator is worthless if you want to do anything using more than 2 digits!!

Just Jen

You're right about no comma, but the decimal point is on the bottom row in the middle. I use it to balance my check book all the time!

Dell didn't include any calculator on "their Axim." Calculator is bundled in Pocket PC by Microsoft.

As Jen mentioned, you can input a decimal point. And I don't know if I've calculated the correct trajectory for launching a satellite into space, but I have been able to do simple addition and multiplication. I find it an indispensible tool.

I think the built in calculator with PPC 2003 is useless. I found an HP 11 emulator that I think is pretty good at Handango.

Yea, if you can get a rom for it, you can get a ti calc emulator (just about the entire 80 series) at www.freewareppc.com. Look under the calculator section.

I like the currency conversion tool within the calculator, if only it had some way to update the rates via the web rather than having to put them in manually.

I do agree that the calculator included is fairly useless (my cell phone's calculator can do the same thing). However, I don't know how often I'd use my Axim in place of a real TI-89. Furthermore, I don't know if you're in school, but I can't imagine any teacher/professor allowing you to use a PDA (or cell phone for that matter) as a calculator for tests, etc.; wireless cheating is too easy.

Adios,

As has been mentioned, the decimal is there.

However, I have to ask why you would need a comma, and also what you mean by "worthless if you want to do anything using more than 2 digits"???

You don't need a comma to type 1,000. Just type it as 1000 without the comma, and it works just fine. I've very rarely seen a calculator with a comma button.

If you want advanced features, use the inbuilt spreadsheet instead.

Try Calc98 from Flow Simulation Ltd.
This is the best piece of freeware I have! A great (too good) conversion tool and they do a desk top version as well. Just about everything you'll ever need with the exception of a graphical interface.
Web address: tttp://www.flosim.com/
You have to register the product, but other than the cost of the call, it's free!!

Personally, I use RDCalc (purchased off handango).

I'm doing an Open University degree at the moment, incuding a maths course, and I find this does the job admirably

As you may have noticed from some of my posts I can be a little slow on the uptake at times!
Now that I have managed to find my way to the downloads section of this fine site, there are several calculators (including calc98) there, all for free.
