I still have my HP 48G and love it. I don't use it much and take the batteries out so they don't corrode in the case.

Every time I use for more than a couple of calculations I think how much I prefer a RPN calculator.

The DB48X project created a HP48G/HP50G style firmware for SwissMicros calculators.

The db48x/db50x project seems to be more promising than C47/R47; although, I wish Swissmicros could produce a db50x version with the right layout (no stickies)
An extra row of keys to match the HP48 would be useful too.
Mine is unfortunately now dead - the display has gone dark even though the device is functional. At some point I'll have to look into a repair or replace with something from SwissMicro.
