So I have been considering the HTC Flyer for a while because I was one few people that enjoyed the previous tablet/stylus era. But like everyone else I was pissed at the $80 stylus.
Today I was checking out the Best Buy website and I can't find the pen anymore. In fact the entire accessory tab is gone when you view the Flyer.
Maybe I am missing it, but I know I found it last week and now it seems to be gone. Do you think Best Buy/HTC actually listened to the public outcry and learned from the Xoom sales debacle and has decided to include the pen. (Or maybe they are just thinking about it, because the pen still isn't listed as being included either.)
save yourself $20 + taxes and get it fro mExpansys for $60

Stylus NOT Included in BB Package
I too have been checking on the Flyer for several weeks, went ahead and prepurchased it and picked it up May 22. The HTC pen was not there, checked back with BB and all they could say was $69 and it's yours. Been playing with it for several hours and I may yet return it as I can not see the worth. I have the Dell Streak 7 that my son wants, is the Flyer worth the big $. 12 days to return or not?

Return it if you don't see the benefit of the pen. For the money there are a lot of other tablets out there in or below the price range without pen integration.
I personally would not keep the Flyer without the pen integration.
Pen back @ BB site
Here it is
So the pen is back up, and I must say I love the pen for writing, although school doesn't roll back up until June 6th I'm doodling more than I should be haha... I admit 80 USD is steep in my opinion and Expansys seems to be the best route right now...
Word is other N-trig pens will work that might be priced lower. I could be wrong and haven't tested this but, Supposedly the Fujitsu stylistic q550 pen will work. It's $29.99 at CDW part number FPCPN36AP. At least thats the part on the Q550 sales page for accessories. If this is the case, no more $80 pens.
I have a HTC stylus and another one given to me by my dad. If anyone wants it I will let it go for $50 plus $6 for shipping.
The stylus for Fujitsu new tablets works flawlessly on the Flyer
Returned the $80 pen to bestbuy. Ordered the $25 pen directly from Fujitsu. Will post when I get it to test.
ordered fujitsu pen
heard this supposedly works. we will see. i got free shipping so only had to tax. paid $26 and some change. used coupon code FPCFS67EP to get free shipping.
There are several styli packs on the Fujitsu website. Which one is it? Can you please post a link?
Do a stylus need for a Flyer?

BE AWARE....if you use this coupon for Free Shipping and try to use PayPal to pay, the shipping won't be waived. The cart shows the free shipping, but the discount is not sent to PayPal for some reason.
I noticed this right after I placed my order and sent an email to Fujitsu to see if they can refund the $5 shipping charge.

For what it's worth (because it's backordered), the dock is now for sale at Best Buy (.com anyway). I'm waffling on the dock, but with my gift cards and RZ money, I can get it pretty cheap, plus I get a $10 gift card, so I'm probably going to take the plunge once it's in stock.

Thank you, gbcue. Contacted Amazon, ordered Dock, took out a free trial of Amazon Prime, got one-day service for $3.50 +/-, will cancel same within 30-days, might take a couple of days for delivery BUT THEY HAVE IT!!!!! Cancelled orders @ J & R and also Tiger Direct. Tiger has rec'd a shipment (much less than what it ordered), but it is going to take an unknown number of days for it to sort everything out and start shipping.
I'd grab the one from Amazon if I wasn't going to save so much from BB by using all my cards and points (good thing about being a tech nerd, a BB gift card is always a great gift!). I can wait, the dock is a luxury for my existing luxury

they can notify if/when something is in stock.
I pre-ordered the dock from Best Buy and picked ship to store, so there was only tax to deal with. That's fine, though, since I can just walk it back in should something go wrong with it. The biggest issue is when it'll ship.
According to nowinstock, Adorama has it in stock.
Amazon update
I checked in and verified my Dock should be shipped on the 10th.
HOWEVER, I also noticed the price was now $179. There are 4 left. The kicker is I got mine for the "standard" price of $149. This is from another private vendor. The private price has been steadily going down on Amazon. This is around $100 less that it had previously been, but still a rip off. I think mine is coming directly from Amazon, not through any third-party vendor.
They're back in stock, but not in any stores near me, so I can't use my promo coupons

what are you typing in for the search? i typed in asus transformer dock and i get nothing?
Try this "Asus - USB 2.0 Docking Station"
It appears the dock is being carried in-store now -- every store near me has it. I've got some RZ bucks and a 12% off coupon (that includes tablet accessories!), so I guess I'll finally take the plunge.
Sears currently has the Dock. It's 149.99 plus tax and shipping. Cheaper than I found on amazon.com... which I usually buy from.
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00384015000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1
If that doesn't work just go to sears.com and type asus transformer.
Shipping is supposed to be quick, within 5 days. If this helps... don't forget the thanks button.

good find, i almost bought one off ebay, but this is good.. *ordered*

Just FYI: It's not Amazon that's marking up the dock, it's other sellers using their storefronts. Saying that Amazon is selling above MSRP is like saying that eBay is doing so. In reality, both those sites are serving only as the listing and payment mechanisms for other sellers.
When the dock has been in stock directly from Amazon, it's at $149.
Yawn. Amazon meaning amazon marketplace. Ie the place the merchants sell their goods and are selling above list price atm. Sorry for the lack of specificity between amazon as a retailer and amazon as a conglomeration of multiple retailers. Commense self-definistration.

Don't pay any more than $499 there for the TF201 32Gb. You can always try checking insock site ever so often.. http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/tablets/asus/transformerprime/

Looks like office depot has them in stock.

At this rate you will be able to buy one for $299 soon enough what a bomb asus dropped with this defective device.

dont pay more than retail prices $499.00 for the prime and $149.99 for the dock). they are starting to show up in stores they previouly did not. i found mine at a place i would have never guessed. i found mine at "best buy mobile" (a stand alone store from best buy). i found my dock at "gamestop".
Surf some forums and online retailers for deals and competitive pricing... because in most cases you can insist on Best Buy offering you a price match guarantee if found within reasonable means.
Usually, they will match it, especially if you're showing serious interest in the product.

Because its in such high demand and is the hottest tablet out right now. Being the most powerful by far of any.
Sam's Club has them in stock right now, $494. There's a $40 membership fee, but you can cancel the membership at any time if you don't get value from it and get a full refund of the fee.

Firstly stay off of fleabay. There is no fleatailer that is an authorized distributer so there is NO warranty or at best the warranty went into effect when they bought it. If you look closely there are but one or two listed there where they actually have them. Oh yes they list them as in stock but read the shipping details where they all pretty much say the same thing. Back in Jan. they all said ships in APPROXIMATELY 4 weeks, now they all give an APPROXIMATELY Feb 9th. They are doing a pre order and slamming folks with a rediculous price. Every time new technology of any kind hits the markets the same thing happens. I see it all the time with cameras and lenses. They buy up the inventory on pre order so folks that just want one cant find one then sell them far above retail. Before they pubished get rich quick on Ebay it used to be a decent place to find decent deals, not anymore as the pages are flooded with overpriced items and mostly not even a bid situation but buy it now! Just keep searching and find a REPUTABLE retailer where you get a full warranty and it doesnt cost you more.

thanks for that info,if I do decide to get one and thats a big if with all the problems I have been reading about here on this forum I will buy it from brandsmart or best buy and get the warranty for sure.
I read a post where a guy took his apart because the wifi had a bad connection and the gps did not work.
Can't figure that one out yet.

DO NOT PAY over retail. These are popping up everyday in stock at different stores.
I got mine off Amazon. Perfect. $499 for 32GB Grey. Never ever pay more than max retail on any device.
In 1 month, there will be a pile of these things everywhere. Don't buy into the rush.
I waited almost 2 months and spotted it on Amazon, free shipping. Got it in 2 days. So far so good. However, I still like my Xoom more.

Hey guys, I saw this posted over on SlickDeals and didn't see it posted on XDA. Figured I'd post it here in case anyone is interested.
Buy.com has the 16GB Flyer for $199.99 with free shipping. It is a refurbished unit, so hopefully everything works properly. I'm not sure about international shipping charges, I imagine it is only free to the US (could be wrong though).
I jumped on the View 4G sale a month ago for $230~ so this seems like a pretty good deal. Maybe we'll see a surge in the forums with these recent firesales.
I'm really considering getting one. Not really sure how long the sale is for. I might return my galaxy tab 7 plus and pick this baby up. I am just worried we won't get ICS for it.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk
I got one
I bought one of these yesterday at 6pm, paid for 2 day shipping and it arrived today at 2pm - 20 hours!!!
It looks great, like I just took it out of the original wrapper. I tried it for a few minutes, then upgraded (I guess that's debatable) to honeycomb. It's leedroid version, so I suppose it should be pretty good.
Now this is the first thread I read in the general section... what ever happened to the days when I would read for days on how to root a new system
I ordered one also. Should be here today with the "cheap" shipping option. Glad to hear the refurbished ones look like new.
So I've been thinking of buying one, do you guys think it's worth it or wait for the Asus 7" tab to come out?
Sent from my GT-P7510
Never know when the Asus tab will come out.
If you want something now, grab this. I played with the wimax version of the flyer in the sprint store, it's really nice.
I'm not banking on the flyer/view getting ICS at all though. I'm just going to use it for what it is.
Will the Asus Tab have an active digitizer? I have read conflicting versions about this.

Purchased $199 Flyer Arrived Today - NO PEN
Did you all get the pen that comes with the tablet from buy.com? Mine did not and I wanted to check to see if it was not included or just missing?! Thanks
I also picked one up for 189. I really hope to get some use out of this at work. I want to replace a ton of paper I generate travelling around from mtg to mtg. I really don't understand why there aren't more pen based tablets out there. If this doesn't work, for 189, I'll just give it to one of my kids to draw on /watch videos.
Based on slick deals advice I got a pen at b&h for $30 shipped. Its a one button model (I have ho idea what that means yet) arrived in a day. Item number FUFPCPN36AP
