SHARP EL-W506

Yea, I picked up my calculator from the mailroom. It came on the 13th of March and it was ordered online on the 11th of March. Cool. Excellent service.. . SHARP EL-W506. The W for WriteView.
The display is a bit wider. The solar panel... great. It is supposed to have 556 functions. The menu in the calculator looks really complicated. Need some time to get used to. Of course, this model has differentiation, integration, log to any base, Summation, Matrix etc... The coolest feature: CNST, the constant button. All the useful constants.... Really useful in Physics, if you don't have a data sheet. It also has a conversion function. It even has index notation prefixes just in case you can't remember them. WriteView is impressive, but it is NOT designed for speed. So, I'd rather turn that off if I need fast results.

The EL-W506 is slightly longer than the EL-506WS.Some buttons have a different location.
For the colour wise, the EL-W506 is Black and the EL-506WS I have seems to be dark blue.
