If the Prizm'll get an F-Zero, Prizm > 89...

Given the more powerful processor, a F-Zero would be easier to make on the Prizm than it is on the TI-68k family...

So have you decided yet?
Because actually I think you would be happy with both, just that they're both different in different ways. Ofcourse if CAS is REALLY important you better go for the 89 first(and eventually buy a prizm later?)

Thanks for all the info guys. I think that the 89 is better for the coding I want to do, but the prizm seems really fun. Is there a chance that drawing commands will be faster in a later update? Also, how much can I get a prizm for? I saw one at walmart for only $97.99 a while back.

I guess, but I'm not certain, that maybe some people could make something like another programming language for the Prizm to use oncalc where drawing commands normally would go faster.
Right now, I don't really know. Also I'm not good at those prices. I bought all my calcs second hand. My second 89(non titanium) I only bough for 26 euro(sending included) and it was in perfect quality. Best deal ever. ;)

Just a quick comment, if you want a color screen and a CAS, the Nspire CX is not that bad.  It is very limited in programming, which is a major drawback, but it does provide both of the above options! :)

I would recommend an 89 personally! ;)

Not sure what the current price is. When I bought mine I *think* it was a bit cheaper than an 84+ SE. $97 sounds pretty cheap (similarly priced to a TI-83+ where I live).

Exactly how I feel. I think the 89 is a better choice, but:
1) I have never owned a casio calc
2) This is a new platform
3) Other languages (than basic)
4) COLOR!

Other languages than basic? If you mean C, you can have that on the 89 too ;) (and newprog aswell, which is for on calc use).
Can't you lend one of a friend or something to try it out for a few days(or a 89)?

Just to note, don't forget pure assembly ;)
Without the ability to run native programs, you could never have C (which is native).

So in theory, it would be possible to have a whole range of other Languages on the Prizm and the TI-89.
Someone just need to make a compiler for them :)

The TI-89T is a more eco-friendly device precisely because it doesn't have a color screen. It will get much better battery life than anything with a color screen can get. The only graphing calculator that can beat the TI-89T in the battery life category is the TI-84+/SE (which gets about double the battery life).

My Prizm seems to have a battery life that's at least as good as my TI-84+SE (at least when both use NiMH batteries, but even the non-rechargeable batteries that were included with the Prizm seemed to last a few months of active use). I haven't compared it with an 89T, however.
