Prizm vs 89TI

I am debating between a prizm and an 89 titanium. Tell me everything you know about them
I know that 89 basic is pretty nice, but the pure awesomeness of a color calc may beat it out. I want to have good math capabilities (CAS?), but also be able to code good stuff oncalc.

Well, if a CAS is necessary for you, then go with a 89T, since the Prizm lacks one. Of course remember that the Prizm is more popular than the 89T, though, although much less than the Nspire or the 84+ series.

I think an 89 is probably most useful, but I really like the prizm too. Can anyone tell me about prizm basic?

Isn't there some programs for Casio that provide CAS in a way?
Prizm basic is quite similar to older Casio basic language such as FX-9860 and the CFX-9850/9750 etc series.

Not yet Jonius. It might take a while before one arrives actually.
mrmprog It's kinda nice, but drawing commands are very slow. You have cool chars to use on the home screen, though.

True drawing is handled much differently in Casio than TI. Circles would be one of the most annoying taking up to 5 seconds or more to draw a 1cm diameter circle.

Well, if you need a CAS, the Prizm won't do the job, so the 89T is the only choice
It has good on-calc programming, not just in TI-BASIC:
* there's NewProg, and several other implementations of high-level languages faster than TI-BASIC;
* there's also C and 68000 ASM, with GTC, but of course, for pure on-calc programming, you'd be missing out the wide GCC4TI documentation, which doesn't fit on the calculator (or at least, would take such a heavy toll on free space).

Otherwise you could eventually buy both.

Well:
TI-89:
160x100 B&W screen
Has CAS
Supports: BASIC, C, ASM, Newprog
BASIC is pretty fast and has a lot of options
2.7 MB Flash, 256 KB RAM USB
Large program library, not really updated by TI anymore.
Must use linking software to send files.
Prizm
Has 384×216 back lit Color Display with over 65,000 colors
No CAS
Supports: BASIC, C, ASM
BASIC is similar to older Casio models, but drawing commands are slow.
USB 2.0 port, 16 MB of flash memory
Smaller program library, newer, updated by Casio.
Recognized as mass storage device by PC.

Art_of_Camelot: Are you talking about the ti-89 or ti-89 titanium?
Because I think the non titanium has less flash memory, but maybe I'm mistaken.

I was reffering to the Titanium, since that was what he was asking about. You are correct though. My regular TI-89 has much less than that, but a better display.

Unless you have one of the oldest regular 89 calculators (HW1, produced 1998 and early 1999), there's no difference between the screen of a regular 89 (most of them are HW2, the newer hardware revision) and a 89 Titanium (HW3 or HW4).
And as far as the screen is concerned, the difference between HW1 and HW2 is not so much a difference in quality, as a difference in the way to program the display controller. It's much easier to make grayscale, especially 7/8 levels, on HW1 than on HW2/3/4.
