That is a first for modern TI. They didn't even bother trying to blame these bugs on us this time

Well, at least this bug was not blamed on the TI community people, unlike the calc bricking one. For the calc bricking bug, TI employees pretty much blamed it on TI-BANK team and TNOC software, while TNOC pretty much protected your calc from it and TI-BANK encouraged its use.

I just noticed that Underwood Distributing says they can ship the nspire cx and will be able to ship the nspire cx cas starting next monday.  I wonder if it contains the desolve bug and similiar unwanted goodies?

It would probably contain lots of nice goodies for whoever gets it.

Yeah, but at least it won't brick calcs since the OS is installed out of the box.

Unless there's a not yet discovered bug that bricks the CX's in the OS

In ti's own words "An update to TI-Nspire version 3.0 will be available by mid-May."
See: http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/nonProductSingle/updatenspire30.html
And mid May is when?  By my calculations in a few hours we will see whether or not they can be believed when they make a committment.

Don't expect it to be online in a few hours, according to informations made publicly available in the official french forum.

The tests took more time than expected, and the OS has to go through the validation process (which is long with TI: one week to remove the 3.0 OS...).

The person who wrote about this was mentionning next week, or even the week after.

I was right in my guess. I figured the new OS wouldn't be out before the 20th. lets see if I'm wrong

I guess I shouldn't be surprized by what you say and I shouldn't be surprized that TI's announcement of mid-May is still on their site because they clearly have no respect for the people who read their site and TI obviously ignores them when it is convenient to do so.  No wonder everyone are so upset with TI!  In my mind, TI deserves all the criticism that has been directed at them and even more.

It is clear to me that TI's nspire products are vastly over rated, that TI has shown that they cannot be trusted to do what they say they will do, that the quality of their software is unacceptable, that the performance of their products is lacking, and last but not least their keyboard design is terrible.  Sadly todays TI is not of the quality that it used to be, nor is it's products, and I am going to warn the people I know to think twice before buying a CX or CX cas before they know what it's problems are because that is a lot of money to waste.

Something I don't understand is how people like Yunhua got a TI-Nspire CX when it's not even out yet? ???

Also I am starting to wonder if the OS 3.0.2 thing will not end up being released like in half a year, delay after delay...

Well, he got it from a math competition which had some prizes sponsored by TI.

Oh ok, that makes sense then. I hope it wasn't a prototype, so he can upgrade later.

I was worried about this^

When I checked, Mathcounts didn't give SEs or Nspire Clickpads until a year after they came out, but they gave the CXs before they came out.  TI seems to really be trying to promote the CX.

Also, if the CX I got was specifically made for the contest, then the ones that aren't may still not come with a slidecase...
