It seams as if only Best Buy is not including the "Magic Pen" and everyone else is, so I'm curious does the version sold on Amazon include the Pen, being as it is slightly more expensive. Thank you

My guess is a no - it looks like although it's sold on Amazon's site, it's being distributed by another company that decided to hike the price up a bit. I'm quite sure the Flyer is exclusive to Best Buy even though this random company is selling them. Odd that when going to their website at, wwdelectronics.com and do a search for the Flyer, it doesn't turn up. Anyway, to my knowledge, only way to get the pen included is to get it from Sprint by signing up for a contract.
You can always get a different pen that works just fine for a lot less:

Considering too. Here's to hoping for a price drop or pen inclusion soon. Also waiting on specs on their 10" tablet to be released. May be today, supposed to be an HTC event or something...
The Amazon post has zero information about the model number, region, etc., or whether the pen is included or not. So I would suggest contacting the seller and asking them, as that is the only way to prevent getting screwed into paying more for nothing.

As I'm not on the road as much as I used to be, I'm finding I really don't need my ppc phone. I find it too big to carry around in the summer in shorts pockets anyway, so I switched to a nice little Motorola v300.
I'm sure eventually I'm going to get another PDA Phone - perhaps this fall or winter, but I'm thinking by then there will be plenty of new stuff out, so I might as well just try to sell this one I've got now.
Anyway, enough babbling. I've got a T-Mobile branded phone, with WM2003 (final relase) OS. All of the original accessories are included, as is a nice EB Cases leather slipper case.
Any offers out there? What have these things been going for lately? If anybody's interested, you can email me at [email protected]
i am too in the same possition I live i florida so the summer gets pretty hot and will not be able to where the pants with the big pockets, i have the xda 1 with the new t-mobile rom wm2003 all the new software registered alll the software recomended by the previous posts, all the original accessories for it, plus a krusell case, the original t-mobile case, extra stylus, extra charger, car adapter, anybody interested please contact me at [email protected] thank you.
Just bought used XDA
Just bought a used XDA from ebay (T-Mobile MDA, specifically), described as excellent condition. Not much in the way of extras. Paid $190 + $12 shipping. These seem to be going for $190 - $250 or so.
Oooh, i hadn't even considered all the software I've got for this thing. Bunch of games, plus Journal Bar, Battery Pack, etc, etc...hmmm
Extra Software....
The big problem is that a new buyer may or may not see the value of the software you bought for it... so I don't know if that will add much to your final selling price. Extra accessories often boosts price, but, I haven't seen that a bunch of registered shareware does (I could be wrong). Also, usually, I would think, this software is registered to you and they might have problems getting updates (could be wrong).
True... would be difficult for them to get updates, I guess. Also, may have trouble entering registration codes, etc, as some are dependent on the user name entered for the device. :roll:
so where can get get one that works in the US?
Non works with US 3G yet
ebay or import one, only work on edge until north american version is released and even then it only has ATT 3G bands if that is important to you
T-Mobile USA
Simple question guys. I think the answer is 'yes' but I want to verify this with people w/ more experience.
Does the UK version of the Hero work w/ T-Mobile USA data network?
I'd like to get the Hero but it would be a waste of money if it doesn't work w/ my provider.
Sorry guys...found the answer on another thread
noob mistake
How trustworthy does this seller look to you guys?

It's cheaper than handtec, which is the best value I've found..
$400?! that's suspicious .. everyone else has it starting from $634
refurbished? it says new ..
the store has zero rating in google shopping
ohhh, now i see why, i'm sure they messed up the currency sign, hero costs 400 british pounds
That's possible.. but everything else on the site is also in dollars and relatively cheap compared to other places.
I guess it is too suspicious though, I'm not going to touch that one.
thinking about buying from mobilegadgetsonline.com
if anyone out there HAS bought from there i would appreciate a quick note about it.
i am thinking of buying from there as they are CHEAP!! CHEAP !! CHEAP!
but as some of you, i am skeptical as well.
they say that they are a new store, with new goods....
trying to obtain a sound customer base.
they also stated that the promo prices (which are fantastic) end on July 31st.
hmmm, what to do, what to do?!?!?!?!?
if its to cheap.....
the alarm bells would be ringing for me
do your homework before you buy.
I would not deal with any company that does not have a land line phone number to call. Not that it makes a difference.
No Whois information either - I know for dot com it not needed, but hay. BEWARE
THATS A SCAM i recently purchased a hero from them and got an email saying ur order can not be prossesed because our credit card processors are down and you must send cash or money order your credit card was not charged
JerryBarcenas, which site did you buy it from so we can know where not to get it.
I'm waiting for the hero to come to the us and will hopefully get my unlocked hero by october/november
that mobilegadgetsonline is a scam however the next cheapest i found was integrontechnologies.com its 599 free shipping and has google checkout ill try them next if not ill just got to expansys i trust them
Thanks for the info, Jerry.
I guess I would recommend everyone to buy from expansys if they wanted to be safe.
I'm considering getting the flyer for xmas.
I noticed at bestbuys website it says "no shipping" and when I check to see if they have it in stock locally it doesn't show up.
I am not hard set on getting it yet, because I'm really wondering if I just want a new toy and it will sit collecting dust after a few weeks of usage..
Or I will seriously use it for ereading/manga purposes.
I'm sure HTC is not manufacturing any more, but that's normal for companies to make a big production run and then move on to the next new device. So whatever stock was out there , when its gone , its gone. Looks like BB is out, so I only see them on other sites now. I guess some of the carriers like Tmob and Sprint still have the 3g/4g versions in stock.
it does sort of suck they haven't officially announced that they are no longer manufacturing it.
Oh well..
Most, or perhaps all manufacturer don't keep assembly lines open just to pump out a few more units. They make a big run, take a look at initial sales and either make one more run or switch over to new hardware. They don't need to announce it, that's just the only way to keep prices competitive. And the hardware guys don't make money selling old products at a reduced price. 6 months is old news in hardware
true.. I may see if I can use the "ship to store option" and see if they can get one..
If not.. oh wells.
Have you considered getting the EVO View 4G? They have brand new ones for $299 (was $275 over Thanksgiving week) which includes shipping and no tax outside of FL.
http://reaganwireless.com/htc-evo-view-tablet.php
FYI, I'm not associated with this company and it was posted previously by others. IMO it's a great deal.
Best buys have recently told me that they may be ordering more. There's still hope for late-comers like me.
I'm sure HTC or some wholesalers has a pile of them somewhere in a warehouse. Like the few hundred tech4less dumped over the weekend at $199.
Well I really wish they would just mark it as "sold out" and take away the add to cart option so we would know.
Small update, I emailed HTC and they said they have no knowledge of the flyer being discontinued.. so something is fishy on the bestbuy side..
I ordered the HTC EVO View 4G from here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150705761318#ht_840wt_1396, $314.00 and free shipping, though I noticed today there's another for $309.00, also with free shipping, here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-H...US_Tablets&hash=item2a1583150e#ht_4654wt_1163
It's cheaper than Regan Wireless' $329.00 price right now. He seems to have a pretty good amount. I also plunked down for the SquareTrade warranty.
That's a stock answer form HTC on almost every question. You can just about be guaranteed that HTC has not been manufacturing any Flyers since May 2011. THat would be standard procedure. Whatever their production number was, that's what supply exist. They did make another run of the View / 4g for Sprint.
You really don't think that Best Buy can say to HTC , hey we need another 2000 Flyers and HTC is going to go "snap" sure we will spend another $500k setting the assembly line back up just for your tiny order".
Guess i got mine just in time I thought it was something to do with floods in Thailand
Or maybe they're just backordered. This has happened a couple times in the last few months and somehow they always seem to reappear. If you can get it shipped to the store in 3-5 days from BestBuy that means it's still available.

The production line hasn't manufactured Flyers in a while.
It's obvious HTC is not very enthusiastic about the tablet market. Afterall, the profit margin on smartphone is much higher than the cut-throat tablet markets.
I've already ordered

For better. I love my flyer.
Hopefully this thing will see ICS.
Even if I have to code it myself :0
And after playing with it in store.. I gotta admit.. this tablet is sleek and sexy.
Only thing I'd consider over it is nook tab... but, even then I feel really confident about this device.

You slow, you blow. I was all set to spend $299 at Best Buy but their people are incompetent. I got a new flyer for $174 from Tech For Less.
Expansys is where I got my pre-order. I've never heard of them. I've heard of B&H, J&R, Best Buy, Newegg, and Gamestop having access to preorders, but who are these guys? They seemed legit so I gave them my preorder info. Any thoughts?
I don't think I've ever ordered with them, though if by "legit" you mean if they're real OR a scam in terms of a business, they seem to be an established business.

If by "legit" you mean they can deliver your Prime by Christmas or this month, that's something you'll find out on the receipt OR your order info, or by calling them. Hopefully someone else here can shed more light for you. (was there a reason you chose them and not the other companies you knew about already? like a special or something?)
Expansys is big for imported phones so they're definately legit. Their inventory systems are archaic and all communication is done manually. They keep bankers hours so they're hard to get in touch with. I'd say they're a poor choice for the Prime because they don't do a lot of business with Asus and communicating with them for a product that's touch-and-go will have you ripping your hair out. If companies that have sold a lot of Asus product in the past are having trouble with inventory I can't see how Expansys would fare any better.
Well, I chose them because they were the only company that still had pre-orders available.
I've heard of all the delays. I don't expect to be seeing my Prime before 2012 . Reeeeeally wish I hadn't sold my laptop/eReader preemptively....
With all the hype around this device, I just wondered if anyone had experience buying electronics from this company because I'd never heard of them before. Not only was I wondering about them as a business, I was wondering about how far down the totem pole they may be.
Thanks for the replies.

Ahh BarryH, thank you!
they are definitely a legit company, everything is based in the UK though but they are the place to go for imported phones, my friend ordered his S II from their because when it first came out that was like the only place but yes they will not steal your money or anything
My concern is that they dont metion the model number, and they dont show a picture of it and being that there the same name the first and second generation I think there selling the first ones.

That doesn't make sense because the new one is Transformer PRIME. (which is clearly on the order page and title) The new one also comes in two colors while the original only had one.
The order page also describes the Transformer Prime.
In case anyone's still interested in purchasing:

Amazing that there have been so many deals for the View. Is HTC trying to kill off its stock? I absolutely love mine. The only thing I'd ask is for it to be slightly lighter, but aside from that, the hardware is absolutely perfect for me.
I was gonna buy it, but after looking at the reviews of the marketplace seller I just cant do it.
Seems like even the 5 star reviews were saying the seller was horrible.

Probably the majority of the users here with the View purchased theirs through through that seller - 1SaleADay. Most of us got it directly from the 1SaleADay website when they had it for sale there more than once. Yes, they're very slow and may not respond to questions, but it's because their products are dropped shipped. While it's no excuse for poor customer service, the fact is that they are merely a middle man selling the product. They don't actually have the product in stock at their own warehouses. It's wholly dependent on the company with the stock to get things shipped out. Again, it's no excuse, but it helps to provide a better understanding of what kind of company they are, along with how they're able to offer things cheaper than many other companies.
That said, everyone received their Views ordered through 1SaleADay in new, as-described condition (with the few exceptions that there always are when anything is shipped from any company). Purchasing through New Egg provides an added layer of protection for the buyer that none of us who purchased directly from 1SaleADay had. So if you really want one, I wouldn't let the seller put you off from buying it in this case. Generally I wouldn't say that for marketplace sellers (feedback is a great way to know who to buy from and who not to buy from), but in this case, it's a little different. It's a good price for a great device.

What is dropped shipped? I haven't heard that term before.
I got mine from eBay before Christmas from that one seller that sold 2000 in one day and then 3000 in one day the week after (bidallies I believe). No soft packing material, just cardboard, but mine arrived without a scratch. I'd say dealing with Newegg is the absolute best place to buy it, since you get their guarantee. It clearly says there is a 1 year warranty too, so that helps.

The all-knowing Wikipedia explains it better than I can:
"Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail businesses, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price but some retailers earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the retailer."
So, the seller doesn't have the actual items, they ship from somewhere else, and the seller has little information on the items beyond what the manufacturer or wholesaler gives them. It definitely makes good customer service more difficult. It's not an excuse for the complete lack of customer service that 1SaleADay has however.
With the View, which ships from the U.S., this isn't so much of a problem. Pretty much everyone received their orders in a week to a week and a half. Where most of 1SaleADay's negative feedback comes from is much of the other stuff they sell, which is actually held and shipped from somewhere overseas (often China). Many of the items are sub-par, they break easily (often in transit), and it takes far too long for them to arrive. Before ordering my View, I had made two previous purchases through their site. The items arrived as described, and they worked just fine, but it took over three weeks for them to arrive. In addition to this, given the nature of how they do business, it's next to impossible to return anything through 1SaleADay or receive a refund. So, people buy cheap junk from them, it takes a month to arrive from somewhere overseas, and then when it doesn't work or breaks quickly, they're unable to get a refund or replacement, and in turn leave negative feedback (which is understandable). But sometimes, they do sell some good stuff, like the View. And I'd feel even more comfortable purchasing through New Egg because they have other customer protection measures in place.
Well I ended up buying the evo from newegg.
Im in no rush for it anyways. See how it goes
I ordered mine from 1saleaday and received it within 5 days of the order.
