Major advantages of the HP49G :

Flash memory of 2 Mo, including 1 Mo reserved for the user to safely backup datas
Computer Algebra System the most advanced at this day on any calculator
Very powerful file manager
Two alternative modes, choose between RPN mode, with arguments put on the stack then handled by the function, or Algebraic mode, very close from the Casio or Texas Instruments syntax.
Intuitive programming using 3 languages, available without any additional software : user RPL, or RPN, which becomes the "HP-basic" in Algebraic Mode ; system RPL, faster and more powerful ; and Assembly Language, also known as Machine Language, which assumes a complete control of the way your calculator works.
Amazing program library, after the versions written for the HP48G(X) have been converted.
A very large user community, openned and available for answering any question.

Easy ways :

To launch the only flash ROM-included game of the HP49G :
Press simultaneously [blue Shift] and [F4-D], move to the field called 'EQ' and type the chain : "HpMad" then press [ENTER]. You get to a quite primitive tetris, coded by HpMad, which stands for Cyrille de Brebisson. To move the pieces which are falling from left to right, use the keys 4,6,8,2 (left, right, up, down). To rotate a piece, press 5. The game is stopped when the accumulation of the lines doen't allow anymore to display any new piece, so, to get out of the game, you must wait for a few seconds until you loose. When the game is over, an "Bad Argument Type" error is generated, with the score displayed as a chain in the command line of the 'EQ' field.
In case you encounter a problem with a bad configuration object of a library unfortunately stored in the user flash ROM, which makes the HP49G reboot nearly forever during a warmstart
(don't laugh, this hapenned to me - unwillingly :-) - 2 days after having bought my HP49G), a solution has been thought about by the ACO, the french-fin-australian team who created the HP49G : during the warmstart, press the backspace key [<=] to shortcut the execution of the configuration objects, and retake control of the HP.
To get the HP in RPN mode at once, with furthermore the mode "one keystroke locks alpha mode" (flag -60), press at the same time [F2-B], [F3-C] and [F4-D] during the warmstart.
Be careful ! On the opposite, pressing [F2-B] and [F4-D] at the same time during the warmstart - without [F3-C] - seems to bring to a Try to Recover Memory ?...
