Anyone know of a good calculator program that will let you enter a full formula for evaluation similar to the behaviour of PowerCalc or SpeedCrunch (which are available for XP) for Windows Mobile?

I just found one called CalctorMobile that does it but it's kind of slow and "clunky" feeling... like someone programmed it in about 5 minutes :P Any other suggestions?

Sorry if this should be in a different section of the forums...

I'm still in precalc 2 but i use SpaceTime 3.0. I think it's awesome..you should try it out..i don't know if it will fulfill your needs because i'm not in calc yet but it does have a lot of calc stuff. It's very user friendly and looks very nice.

its a 30 day trial

Sorry, I was just using "calc" as short for "calculator". I don't actually need something capable of doing calculus. I just want something that I can type a whole line into and it will follow order of operations and solve it.

e.g.

I type in "(4 + 4) * 2" and it spits out "16" rather than having to punch in each step individually.

it even solves equations like y or f(x)=....

sometimes my teacher writes a problem on the board and type it right into my phone..it takes him about 7 steps to solve the log or exponential function problem, while it takes me about 20 secs to enter the problem in :) haha..u just cant get used to using it too much..u will not learn..make sure u only use it to check ur answers and not depend on it for every problem.

I've finished my post secondary education. I just prefer that type of calculator. I'll be checking SpaceTime out tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

This may be getting too nerdy, but I was looking at a winCE emulator that runs the HP48/49/50 calculator on the device. Gotta love RPN for fast calculations!

Nerd here as well so heres a link to a free HP RPN calculator: http://free42.sourceforge.net

Works great and the price is right! ;)

SpaceTime is pretty good. Way more powerful than I need.

Only issue I've noticed so far is that it doesn't behave very well when the screen is rotated while it's running. It does not resize it's display unless you close the application and open it again.
