If you want to play with a financial calculator to see if you want to purchase one for your own use, there are two models that you can consider.

One is the HP12c (Platinum model) and the other one is the TI BAII Plus (or the Professional model). They are both allowed for use in CFA exams hence liquidity for used ones is very high.

For Android phones, you can download a free full function version of the HP12c by Elvis Pfutzenreuter. If you know any free apps for the TI for Androids or HP and TI for iPhones, please let me know. But please keep in mind that you would need the actual calculation for the exams. For both calculations, there are many online resources available both to teach usage and to set up more advanced programming.
