The full version of Parens does trig. Unfortunately, Rick Huebner stopped
selling / supporting Parens a few years back. You could probably find a cracked
copy of Parens out on the net somewhere, 'tho. I'm certainly going to be
bummed if my copy of Parens ever gets broken by a migration to a new device.

Kalk if you like a Reverse Polish calculator:

What makes it so annoying to you?

My primary objection is that the UI is unlike any classic calculator I've ever
used -- it's more like typing up an equation on the command line of an old-style
BASIC interpreter (albeit with lots of shortcut keys). Great stuff if you're
given to solving long, involved equations, but really annoying if you're used
to thinking in "calculator mode" (and after 30 years of banging away on
calculators, I'm kind of used to that mode).

I've got EasyCalc installed on my Palm, but the calculator shortcut goes to
Parens -- EasyCalc is only used when I need to do some seriously hairy
calculating.
