TI-84+SE discontinued?
« on: September 30, 2010, 09:58:12 am »

Sad news...

TI US/Canada web site hasn't annouced it yet, but according to TI-Germany and TI-Swiss web sites, the TI-84+SE has been discontinued. :'(

The TI-84+SE had 1.5Mb archive memory. The basic TI-84+ only has 480Kb... If this is not enough, the only choice remaining is the TI-Nspire.


Another action from TI in order to force users to the Nspire technology.

Too bad they try to sell more TI-Nspire calculators, not by improving the Nspire OS, but by discontinuing other calculators, so that the Nspire will remain the only choice. >:(

UPDATE by DJ Omnimaga (October 4th 2010): It seems all the production stoppages were removed altogether. Was this a mistake? Did someone from the US/Canada division of TI thought it was an error and edited them back even if it is not an error? Or... are Texas Instruments just unable to make up their mind?

Juste read or translate the TI-Bank news...
The reason is very simple: to make the TI-Nspire the "best calc", once all other good calcs will have been discontinued.

No surprise the swiss TI-84+SE page links to the TI-Nspire...

Well, their calc was seriously outdated and overpriced......

If they start supporting asm on the nspire, I won't feel as bad. Still, very surprising, considering how many add-ons are 84+ specific. They probably make a 95% profit on each ti-84+ they sell. (z80s in 2010? Come on now!)

The only problem is that the nspire doesnt use the z80, so assembly for it would be different.

Does that mean Omni will need more Nspire coders?

Oh well, my classmates don't care about their calcs at all, I got a 84+ BE for 5 bucks last year.  :P

EDIT:  according to the ti site, you can still buy them online, or am I missing something?  ???

Seriously? That's sad ... all the SEs are now gone. Obviously, TI's planning to make the Nspire outlive all its other models and become the model :(

Though frankly, I'm actually relieved that the TI-83 Plus has still survived the releases of the 84 series and the Nspires.

TI's north-american web pages haven't been updated yet.
official discontinued models list (as of septembre 2009)

It seems localised TI web pages aren't updated simultaneously, and that the english web pages aren't allways the most up to date...


You can still buy TI-84+SE to online or local shops, if they have it in stock.
But they're not produced any more, and are going to disappear...

Wait, what about TI-83+?

Edit:
Also, TI-84+BE is still in production? I guess this isn't quite as bad as I thought
