  I bought one and returned it. The device is a little too large. Why does it have to be so big? And with the case it is REALLY big. I think calculators should fit in the pocket.

  For the price, why isn’t the display clearer? Why didn’t they include a handy conversion tool for length, speed, weight, etc.?

  Questions, questions, questions….

  Following, is the letter that I sent to HP headquarters regarding my experience with the HP 17BII:

  Dear Sirs, I am writing this email with the spirit of a loyal customer of 15 years. Last month, during a business trip, my financial calculator 19 B II broke. I was desperate because I had become so used to work with it. I browsed the HP web site to learn which was the most sophisticated financial calculator these days, and I learned about the 17 B II. I asked a friend to bring it to me from the US and so she did. I have been using it for 3 weeks, and only with a spirit of loyalty to you, must say that I find this calculator dramatically inferior to those HP calculators that I bought 15, even 20 years ago, both financial calculators and scientific calculators. The 17 B II is not only inferior in the amount and type of operations that can perform compared to the 19 B II, but is also inferior, in it`s raw materials. The key for number 3, must be pressed with so much strength as if I was drilling for oil in order to make it appear in the screen. Finally, this calculator takes literally
  
  3 seconds in calculating the result of 2 X 2. I have been considering to search for the HP scientific calculator that I had back in college, 15 years ago, and program in it, the financial formulas that I need today. Again, I am not saying this with a bad mood or just for the sake of complaining, but rather because if I worked in the company, I would like to have this kind of feedback. Best regards, Constancio.

  I just don’t have words to describe what I felt when I opened the package and use this “calculator”, just think in a bad calculator or a low quality electronic product that you have had an just multiply this 100 times. …The answer….HP17BII+….the name should be HP17B (-)

  Hey there,

  This calculaor doesn’t calculate. Not only has it failed in my part-time MBA program, but in several mgmt/client meetings at the asset management firm I work in. I feel exceptionally let down. I intend to return it and won’t be back to HP if I can help it.

  Still speechless.
