Members who work in finance - what model of calculator do you use?

[haganah]

My 12c broke. I liked it old and used up. Anyway, I got a 12c platinum 2 or 3 years ago. But now the rubber on the bottom came off it and the faux leather looks damaged. I wish my old one was still around.

I'm not in finance but this might be the only calculator thread we see in a while:

FYI, if any of you are iPhone users there is a cool HP12C app to load the calculator on to your phone. It's amazing, keyboard layout and appearance is almost identical. I downloaded it a couple of weeks ago and now have a 12C with me at all times.

Same here, although I hope to start working in finance after graduating next summer. And btw. I hate these financial calculators, like my old Casio much more.

17bII just because thats what they gave us when we started. Everyone else uses a 12c though.

HP 12c when I started b-school which was a smooth conversion since I used an 11c throughout high school and college.

when I look at other people's calculators, I wonder where the ENTER key is.

HP 12c Platinum (25th Anniversary Edition to boot).

HP 12C here. Although, the newer HP business calculators I understand have a permutataion/combination function, which is helpful on the CFA exam. So I may try to take two calcs into the exam, just in case one of those questions comes up.
