Guys, there has to be a better calculator out there, I mean CA MON! I am not looking for a scientific or some uber math calculus crazy calculator but I am looking for something that isn't so .... CHEEZY!

I mean we have a DROID! Why is this Calc so CRAPPY! Please tell me there is something out there, in the market, or even a 3rd party APK file.

Okay sorry RANT OFF.... :eek:
 
I think the stock droid calulator is frackin awesome myself.. simple, easy, big buttons.. best phone calc I've ever used.. I even like the look of it..
Negative... The look is disgusting. Function is ok, If I press the clear button once I want the whole thing cleared out.. I want it to function like a calculator, not have special long press functionality. WACK!!!!!!!

Thats the one I use. In RPN mode. Love it.

Put me down for another vote on realcalc. I can't live without RPN mode, but you can use it in standard mode as well. It is easy to use and well laid out.

Another one that I have used is droid48. This is an actual rom image of an HP48 calculator. I thought I would use this one more, but it is a bit awkward to use, ie, lots of keys. It does come with full financial and conversion utilities though that are pretty nifty.

The stock calc is just fine you my friend just arent using it correctly. I like it alot better then my LG Versa's calc. Atlease the Droid has big buttons and you dont have to have lil fingers to try and mash on the number and end up with the wrong number and who cares how it looks nothing looks perfect and who cares if you need to hold down the clear button to clear everything...You have a fricken droid dude get over it..Dont like it get another fricken phone rather then complain about the one you have..Im sure there is another phone that has a better calc out there..my goodness

Wow someone has a case of the Mondays... So I take it your the kinda guy that buys a car and never upgrades anything to it, buys a computer and never does anything to it, never complains about anything, lives life plainly, and never thinks about the potential of something that it could be. Seriously dude theirs an app market for a reason. Why root your droid if you like the way the phone looks and runs. You seriously need to go back to your RAZR. :rolleyes:
