I found this image at http://www.technobuffalo.com/2012/12/25/the-best-tech-gift-ive-ever-received-the-ti-89-graphing-calculator/ but I never saw that TI-89 before. This one looks almost like a TI-83 but with renamed keys and faceplate. The real TI-89 was closed to the TI-86 in look:

I wonder if someone just had fun with Photoshop or if this might have been a very early preview of the TI-89?
-
Erm......I don't spot a difference D:
-
That is one nice lookin' calculator! ;)
-
@Sorunome: Look at the area around the screen.
-
I'm wondering if it's a later model..the 2nd/alpha key labels are centered. Afaict looking at datamath, only calcs later than the 84/89t are like that?
E: tho the only calcs labeled like that and aren't the curved case are the 76.fr and the 82 stats..might be a 'shop :P
-
I'm about 70% sure thats the one my meth teacher has.
-
I'm quasi-sure that this TI-89 exists, you may have noticed that Virtual TI (an emulator quite old now) uses this skin for the TI-89.
-
It does look like a later rev... I wonder if anyone's seen it for real tho.

O.o
-
I'm about 90% sure I saw this one at my local computer store.
-
Looks like a mix between the "old one" and the 2003 new styled one(Can be found on Datamath).
Perhaps it's a fake?(Photoshopped)
-
@Sorunome: Look at the area around the screen.
Oh, i spot it now, that's wierd O.o
-
This is similar to the one I've seen before.
But,
Take a look at the bottom right area, now look about an inch up. There is some symbols cut off. Obvs not real.
-
I don't remember if I saw it in person before actually, but if I did it was the first time I ever saw a 89 at all, because afterward I saw the ones with black borders. What surprised me actually is how the key layout is slightly different (the =, | and EE keys are not in the same order).
I wouldn't be surprised if this was an early 89 prototype based on the TI-83 or 73.
-
wut, i didn't even notice the keys O.o
yeah, a prototype would be highly possible then ^^
-
So... the 3 "old" 89 we know would be these : ?

-
I have the one with the black frame around the screen.....i wonder which one is most common
-
Mine had the black border, i've never seen the other two before. Btw, seeing that graph reminds me of the 83+'s Graph3D app that Kirk Meyer made that was even faster than the 89 :P
-
I've got one in my hands right now, and its the middle one of the three, the black border.

-
That means we can us CAS without getting caught? :P
-
Swapping the cases of a 83+ and a 89 is a pretty old trick, if slightly cumbersome.
-
I bought my TI-89 HW1 in 1998 from Adam's Dimension TI website. It looks like the middle one.
-
I'm still curious if that pic isn't just a photoshop of a TI-83 where only the keys are changed/swapped. It could be an early pic of the 89 from years ago, since the quality isn't too good, but at the same time I wonder if it couldn't be a modified 83 pic from someone who had no TI-89 handy and just the manual, for example.
-
I'm about 70% sure thats the one my meth teacher has.
Wait, you have a teacher? It's basically smoke or inject, isn't it?
-
Lol I didn't notice that typo. I lol'ed when I noticed. XD
-
Yeah the most common one is the middle one, with the black borders. I have already seen the right one on internet only and if I remember well, it was realeased with the OS 2.08/2.09, the one wich have a menu like on Titanium.
Then came Titanium models, with OSes 3.XX.
About the left one, I don't know much. I thought at the beginning it was the same as the left one ! Thanks Adriweb for the pic.
-
I still question the legitimacy of the one with the weird cutoff.
-
At the same time I wonder why some random blog would spend this much effort photoshopping a TI-83 Plus or a TI-73 so that it has the TI-89 keys layout...
-
I wonder why such a picture with a cutoff would even exist if it wasn't for a fake created by somebody. The ink is the right size. The text just, for whatever reason, cuts off at the right side. It has room! Just, the sleek nature of the casing makes it.. weird.

Maybe he quickly snatched a photo that seemed legit to him from someplace else. In this case from the photoshopper.

Another view of that calc. O.o
-
I've seen this TI-89 photo many times over the past 14 years. I don't think it's a fake. But... I've never seen it in real life.
If it was never actually produced, then it probably is some sort of prototype. Hence the photo may be what we used to call, "ECF."
Error carried forward
-
My guess is that it's a concept photo. I've never seen one in real life, nor have I seen an actual picture of one like this.
