There are import services, or you could try to hook up with a Chinese calc enthusiast and see if he can send you one. ;) We have a couple over here although they're rarely posting.

I wonder if Ebay might have it? Sometimes, China has plenty of stuff with cheap shipping fees there. However, be careful about knockoffs.

It says this in the lower right corner:
Chinese based programming language
BASIC like programming
Backlight

P.S. I speak Chinese

Technically I am one, I'm just not in China. I could try to get one :)

I wonder if the language is just BASIC but with every command translated or something faster?

You can contact Chen Si <[email protected]>
He is the admin of cncalc.org and has bought the calculator for me.

That reminds me, can we post in English on cncalc.org?

About purchasing the calc, though, I'll pass on it because the price converted in dollars seems way higher than most other calcs over here.

You can, but normally you don't get many responses when you do so.
Yet, Chen Si understands English very well.

I could try getting you guys one next time I visit China (depending on the price), but I would get an English version for myself because personally I get headaches reading Chinese :P


EDIT: Wait, you guys want a Chinese one?

I doubt there is an english version of that calc. The only way to make it English is to flash it with the OS of another calc (such as a 9750GII). That's assuming that is possible, though.

They do only support Chinese characters in Basic programs. There is no Chinese language option like on the Prizm!
I guess this is because of the low display resolution as you only have access to six display lines when using Chinese characters with the 'locate' command. Also, these characters are only supported in text mode, but not in graphics mode.

How does BASIC speed compare on this calc compared to the American models?

The fx-FD10 Pro is basically an fx-9860GII with different keyboard layout and casing, plus some backported Prizm software functionality. I would say Basic is fast enough.

Ok thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if it was rewritten or something.

I will now persuade my Dad to get me one, I feel like I don't have enough calcs for my own enjoyment :P (not really)
