Just got back from BB.
No pen in the box... but they did have them for purchase separately. $79.99
The box has the Best Buy logo directly printed on it.

I got mine today as well.
It is much faster than I imagined, and even performs better than in the video walkthroughs I have seen online. A great selection of applications was included (this is my first Android device outside a Nook Color).
It felt heavy at first, but I played with it for 2-hours straight and never got tired from holding it. Definitely easier to hold than an iPad (I owned one).
HTC Watch is up an running, although no sign of OnLive... yet. I hope it comes.
Besides the pen, no case or sleeve was included either. I would have liked the case to be included at least. Like it wasn't bad enough I had to buy the pen!
I haven't even opened the pen yet, as I am enjoying using the tablet without it.
The screen is almost TOO bright, even at the lowest setting. In a mildly lit room, it can be blinding.
It came 50% charged and I have been using it for around 2.5-hours and just hit 15%, although I was hammering it pretty hard, testing everything out, and syncing all my emails, contacts, calendars, and music.
More to come...
Can anyone with a pen take a screenshot or PNG of your most normal note taking? Like how you would write on it in say a meeting or class.
It would be greatly appreciated.
Got my Flyer yesterday too!!! Do you guy think this thing will get rooted?????
I really hope so.
Awesome man. Keep posting about it. I really want one of these. Anybody know if they locked the bootloader?

I'd like to root for tools like titanium backup, and to kill the cell standby process eating up my battery. I could be wrong, but I don't think rooting will affect the 3.1 update.
Just walked out of Best Buy with my new Flyer. Played with the demo unit and stylus, and I was VERY impressed at my ability to take legible notes and mark up documents. I have a week of vendor demos coming up at work, and I will put this thing through its paces marking up their white papers electronically. The Flyer is going to be a keeper!
I am really impressed with.mine.

Loving mine as well
Google Music Beta works well BTW, especially handy as Pandora isn't really optimized for this screen size/resolution.
Got mine as well. Nice device, but the camera quality is terrible.
Got mine today, unfortunately it's got a stuck pixel Trying to decide if I should just suck it up and keep it, or trek back out for a return. I really like the device.
I purchased one today. Overall I am pretty pleased with it so far. I am looking forward to the Honeycomb update. I bought a pen too but not sure how much I will actually use it.
Can someone go to abc.com and see if full episodes play smoothly. I want something that can play flash videos well and I know this is a good site to test.
Thanks
just got mine today from a contest I won and I have to say I am very surprised at how fast it boots and how well the pen responds to writing.
It has both an unlocked bootloader and access to recovery so I hope that it gets rooted soon.
I don't know if I should return the Acer Iconia Tab I just bought or keep both. One for notes when I am at school and the other for leisure/trips

yes kirbo, you can watch as many episodes of Cougar Town as you want
Could I bother you to test "Crackle.com" as well for video playback quality test also?
I've had the Minecraft apk from a friend that bought it. Now with the sale, I was going to buy it myself but it shows as Purchased and it doesn't even try to buy it(says cant download app wasn't purchased). I'm suspecting this is because Titanium Backup Market doctor. I even tried a full wipe of the ROM and no change. Older Market shows it normally, but the price isn't right(it's the normal price, not the 10 cent sale). Even the web based Market shows as Purchased. Can anyone help? I would really love to buy it
Yes my credit card works fine, I bought SwiftKey and Fieldrunners 2 minutes ago.
Exact same thing is happening for me with Soundhound (paid). I uninstalled the non-market version, and it shows purchased on both the Market website & app. I just tried uninstalling Market updates, force stop, clear data, reboot.... and the market still shows "purchased".
I also previously used TB Market Doctor. I've already unlinked the app using Market Doctor.
EDIT: I guess Google heard me. Now it's showing not purchased on the web & phone. Now I purchased it and it's working. Thanks Larry! (I think?)

I have just logged in to my Android Market account and used the "report a problem" link next to the three apps I am having trouble with to report this to Google. Fingers crossed they can reset/unlikely them so that I can buy the genuine apps in the ten pence sale.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
I don't know, that means they answer and fix it in less than 6-8 hours. Let me know if you're successful as I'm interested in fixing this problem if it happens again.
damn! got the same thing happening with Beautiful Widgets...grrr!
I would also like to know how to resolve this...
I want to purchase Flick Golf, but I can't download it because I already "purchased" it
I also have this issue, and have been trauling the internet for days for a solution, of which there appears to be none at present.
I have also used the report problem link but have had no response as of yet.
I had the same problem with adw launcher ex but I solved using my old phone that is running the 2.2.6 version of the market. I believe you don't strictly need an old phone to do it, maybe just downgrading the market could help .
It didn't show the app as purchased but with the original price (2.33€ or something like that), but when I went on to check out, it showed me 0,12€ (0,12€ and not 0,10€ for, as I read in the email I received from google, italian IVA, the same as VAT) and so I completed the order.
I hope this fixed the problem forever.

I managed to get the old market on my Sensation, find the application I want and it now let's meet buy... But, I click buy, then accept permissions, and the checkout where it shows my card number has a 'buy' button at the bottom, but no sale price... Is there a further screen after this, or has Google pulled the discount?

Just answered my own question, clicked buy on Endomondo Prof and was charged full price, not the sale offer. Oh well, it was only only 69p anyway.
At least I know what to do if any other apps come up in the sale. Cheers fellas.

I tried that method, even downgraded to DI18(Samsung Epic 4g), but my Credit Card is greyed out
but i purchased other apps recently with the same card
Damn it, I completely forgot about Android's refund feature. I would've tried getting Minecraft with the old market even though it said the old price.. well maybe it will get cheap again(like a last day finale)
I had the same problem when trying to purchase Shazam yesterday. I previously had the app installed (a cracked one), but I removed it before purchasing. When I purchased, it said it went through, but when I went to download it, it says I havent purchased it. I emailed google, they said they were having problems and that it should be fixed in a few hours. They emailed me back and told me it was fixed, but it was still showing as purchased in my market. Now that the sale is over, i guess I'm screwed out of it now.

also you have to do this right away ...my market updated right after i purchased it
Did some searching and didn't really find my answer so going to post here let me know if this should have been in General.
What are you using to read the wall street journal?
I have seen 2 apps on my transformer prime when searching. There is the WSR (wall street reader) its a paid app for 6.09. I already pay WJS for access and think paying again for a reader sucks.
There is a WJS tablet but it does not show up on my prime, only in google market (web) Says its not compatable with my infuse nor my TFP, but will go to the Samsung note.
Then the last app seems not really made for a tablet.
So what are you using to read WJS, do I have to suck it up and buy WSR?
True i could go to the webpage but I was hoping for a local copy that I could read on the way to work.
Thanks
I think WSJ has Pressreader support?
If you have online account with WSJ, try this -
Pressreader - Settings - Accounts - Authorize (put your WSJ's username+password here)
Your subscription should appear.
WSJ Android App
The WSJ has an Android Tablet App. Scroll to the very bottom of the first online page and click on "tablet". It seems expensive at $4.00/week. I have a print subscription and will be giving them a call to see if they have any special offers for print subscribers. I agree that the current solutions in the Android Market don't work very well.
let me know if you find any thing out, please. My email seems to have fallen of def ears.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
There are 2 apps for the WSJ, one designed for the tablet the other for your phone. The tablet app is pretty heavy, takes a long time to load and in general bogs down my Prime. The WSJ I have installed on my HTC Amaze is light and flys on the prime but like you said the market wont let you install it on the tablet, soooo....First you need to root your tablet, you dont need to unlock the bootloader just root it. I backed up my phone apps using titanium, once the prime has root I copied the titanium backup directory to my SD card and then restored the phone WSJ app, works great. The Washington Post also has an app for the phone only, did the same thing and it works as well.
Awesome will try it, I already have it rooted for adblock. Kinda sad really, when I rooted my phone I had a ton of things to do... I rooted my prime and I put adblock on and basically forgot I had it even rooted. Thanks for confirming I could just copy over the apk and install. I will post back my experiences in case anyone is watching... Ya I doubt it...
Thanks!

Has anyone bought the extended version? I've only 10 days left
I have. It has the same features, just extends the service for 1 more year.
I think it's a good messenger app, it's feature-rich and also lots of my friends use it, so in my opinion is a good investment :silly:
What is your concern?

Hi,
I think purchase is the best option to get WhatsApp.
My account finishes soon as well.
How much they want anyway?
Good night.
Well... here's a tip... but its definitely not legal.... its how i got my subscription extended from free (2011) to 2021....
1. Have a jailbroken iphone/ipad
2. have an active whatsapp account on your android
3. Grab a free copy of whatsapp and side load it onto your ipad/iphone (not gonna teach you how to sideload apps on ipad/iphone, its totally illegal)
4. Run whatsapp on ipad/iphone... key in your phone number for your android phone.... If you are on ipad, it will tell you that whatsapp is not available on your ipad... if its iphone, it will work fine... dont worry, either case, it should get your service extended by 10 years....
5. Whatsapp will assume that you have purchased their $0.99 whatsapp version from the itunes store and automatically extend your service by 10 years....
*it may or may not work now, but its worth a try... thats how i accidentally gotten my service extended by 10 years...
Just buy the APP!
I never get this.It is one of the most usefull and popular apps of current times.
U guys use it every day then why cant u pay 1$ For it.I mean its like buying a can of coke.
Why do stuff like that ?Support the developers!

Well, on android, its not a dollar... its $1.99 / year.... on my ipad, i sideloaded whatsapp only cos i thought i could use it on my ipad (which i realise that you cant find it on the app store, hence the side loading experiment)...

It's 99ct per year. I think it's disgusting to use a service and then trick the devs out of the ridiculously low fee for their awesome app.
Especially when you spent hundreds of dollars on a phone without a second thought.

I follow the instructions to get YouTube Premium under my account - however only a 1 month trial offer is available. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I also went to youtube.com/premium/samsung and get the same result - 1 Month. Please advise.
Thanks,
I believe if you ever had the 3 months free offer before, it won't let you use it again on the same email/I'd.
It was like the free 1 year onedrive offer that you would get with Samsung devices.
If you used it once it wouldn't let you get another unless you use a different email.

i currently have Youtube Music premium, it only shows 1 free month trial.
you right, i logged in Youtube with a different email, it shows 4 free month trial, i thinking of going this route. i love to save money, 4 months free is like 40$ for Youtube Music.
ah ok. But I don't think that I ever signed up to any free trial in my case, so not sure what is happening here.

I know that when you first boot the app it offers 1 month...but I believe if you go into settings and select Get Youtube Premium it offers more. What's weird is that I thought it was 4 months as well. Maybe the 2 offers stack? I wont be redeeming the offer since I already have an account with premium.
