I'm wondering how people in the US are buying their HTC Flyer. I thought Bestbuy sold them but I went to 4 best buy on yesterday and none of them had stock. None of them knew when or if they would get more. I looked online and no best buy in my area has them (very odd since I live in L.A.). Is there another place to get them for $299? Is this device discontinued? I really don't want to go the ebay route. Thanks in advance!
When the price drop occurred most places sold out without any new inventory .... I don't think they are getting more shipments as they are trying to get rid of all of the accessories ...

Looks like Best Buy and HTC pulled a "Touchpad" at better than salvage pricing. Our Best Buy says they are waiting for deliveries of the new Jetstream model, but I can't see much demand for device that costs $699 and requires a two year contract on AT&T.
No fire sale, they lowered the price to compete with the Kindle Fire. After that they've been selling out quickly. I purchased mines two weeks ago. One store in NYC had them. The following week every store in my area had them.

Bestbuy.com lists it as online only. I don't know if they do a ship to store option.. If so, that will save a few bucks on shipping costs

I lucked out and got the last one in my area.
I got mine about 2.5 weeks ago at the BB here. They only had 3 left. I went back to BB 2 nights ago to get the invisible shield by Zagg ($9.99) and I got the last one.
They still have cases and styluses, though.
The stores in the New Orleans area still had them when I visited over the weekend.
well, 4 out of 10 stores in or near Omaha have them in stock based on the website and they show as backordered otherwise. While I think the 7" is an ideal size for my needs, I think the general market may lean toward the larger screens as a mainstream device and the smaller screens thought of more as book readers.

Thanks for the input guys. I just left one best buy and they didn't even have the flyer on display anymore. I have a cousin in Texas who is close to a best buy that has stock so I will have him buy it for me. Everything seems to indicate that the flyer is at the end of it's life and I have to wonder if it will be updated to HC or ICS. Nevertheless, I still want to buy one since it is pocketable and allows me to take precise notes.
I picked mine up about 2 weeks ago and i got the very last one. I used to work at the geeksquad in the store and i was talking to the GM and he was saying they sold out really quick after the price drop. He didnt mention anything about it being discontinued though.
The Flyer is not being discontinued, it's just been selling really well.
I had been looking for a flyer for a couple of weeks, checking my best buy every day. All stores close to me had been showing out of stock. Then last weekend I went to the store and they had 1 in the store so I bought it. It was new and unopened so it wasnt a return. I think its just taking a while to full stock. I'm sure the price drop on accessories is because they have too much on the shelf vs the number off flyers in stock.

I just bought mine yesterday. Had to drive to gretna to the bestbuy mobile store to get teh last one, after visiting the 3 stores in/around Metairie and calling the houma store (only one to show inventory online). After calling around I lucked out and the BBM store had 1 that wasn't showing in inventory. There aren't any within a 50 mile radius of new orleans! These things must be selling like hotcakes.
Want to pick one up but wasn't ready to pull the trigger. Only 3 stores have any in inventory. Concerned there will be no back fill and this is my last shot

You may be on your last shot...seems that Adroid device shelf-life is counted in "dog months" - in other words 5 months on the market is nearly 3 years - they definitely are not tied to an annual upgrade cycle.

Already reserve one for tomorrow. What a kickass price. If this is released at $299, HTC Flyer may cause a firestorm.
This is the price it should have been when released.
I snagged one today and sold my ****ty viewsonic g. I am going to go to best buy tomorrow and get my $200 back with price match.
I am putting honeycomb on it right now. Kinda tricky but you basically have to flash all the stock honeycomb and then you can put that cool custom honeycomb rom on the dev forum.
Does this come with the stylus? I know in July best buy startedd including it, but I'm not sure if that was just for a limited time.

Same here, snagged one tonight @ 499 because I don't wanna deal with the hassle of hunting one down all weekend. BB Playbook was sold out everywhere in my area after just 1 day @ 299, I'm assuming Flyer will be the same. I tried to get Best Buy to give me the sale price, but they're making me come back on Saturday to do the adjustment. Total bargain at 299!
Just put in my order for 1 @299. Picking up in store tomorrow. So excited to play around with this for the 2 weeks before I give it away for my fathers birthday present lol. At this price it just cant be beat, although my mom is going to be jealous when my dad gets this and she just has a CM7 nook lol. Anyways looking forward to "my" new flyer and the awesome devs here
The website still shows 499 for me.

I can't find the info to back it up, but I had the price on a laptop drop 3 weeks after I purchased it. I was beyond the 14-day return period so they wouldn't refund the difference. If I find the page I'll post it.

Good price point, but this is what HTC/Best Buy should have marked the Flyer at since day one. Considering we're still waiting on Honeycomb over four months after launch....
I went to Best Buy to purchase an HTC FLYER for my wife. They didn't have any at all, so I started calling different stores all around my area in a 50 mile radius. None of those stores had any either. I called Best Buy Corporate about the issue. They had looked into it and had no idea about why there wouldn't be any in the ENTIRE US. The person I spoke with was surprised. He told me that there were no calls from anyone about this issue. He also told me that there should have been a lot of them in the Black Friday Shipments. There were none at all. They were going crazy in the Corporate office about this. What the heck is going on? PLEASE, if there is anyone with information that Best Buy Corporate is not currently aware of, call them and let them know what's going on with the availability of the HTC FLYER.

HTC flyer availability
I am also hunting for HTC flyer since last week. Today in Best Buy I was told that HTC isn't available because of Thailand flood and they don't know when this will come back. But manager told me that HTC asked them still run and keep the Info about Flyer - meaning they aren't discontinued.
In mean time I decided to buy Aser Iconia 7" inch (black Friday order for 189.00)
Would somebody tell me is this a good replacement or I have to wait till HTC is available
Thanks

This is good news about upcoming availability. I can wait a bit longer for a second flyer for the wife. The pen functionality is what sets it apart from the Iconia in my mind.
The pen is also why I chose the Flyer instead of the Iconia.
I was not going to wait around for a date that nobody could give me for when it would be available. I went to Sprint and got the HTC Evo View 7" Tablet. It has the same Specs except for that it's a 32GB model. I got it without the Data Plan. It cost me $399.99 to buy it outright. I have been using it sinc I got it for my wife. I also got the Invisible Shield for it and a 16GB Class 10 Micro SDHC Card. She was completely amazed on how great the picture was on it when I missed Monday Night Raw and went to Youtube and watched it on her HTC Evo View 7" Tablet. Also the sound that it puts out, she told me to lower it a little bit since it's quite loud.
If you don't want to stand around waiting for a date that nobody can give you for sure, then just do what I did. Go to Sprint and buy the HTC Evo View 7" Tablet without the Data Plan for $399.99
only issue with the view is that there is less development for it, if you were so inclined

because of Thailand flood
I had the Acer A100 but returned it and got the Flyer. It's not a bad tablet at all. HC works fine on it. My biggest complaints were the screen which has a very poor viewing angle and the battery capacity which was a bit low. Otherwise I think its a much better choice if you need GPS and camera at < $200 than a Fire or Nook. Otherwise the original Nook Color is a steal at $120 - $130 for its stunning screen, CM7 ROM and great small size.
I dunno. I refuse to even consider that Acer after seeing the LCD. I'd rather buy another refurbished Nook Color for $130 because even though slow it has an IPS panel that is stunning. For reading that is a major plus.
Flyer has a top notch screen and that along with being full featured makes it beat out everything near its price I think. If only it hadn't vanished.
Amazon has a couple of used, like new Flyer's $299

Yeah, but when you add it to your cart and actually start the confirmation and purchase process, suddenly "Usually Ships in 3-5 days" goes turns into "Not Available." Been playing with them for 3 days now.
So, I went with a "Used, Like New" from Amazon for $299. We'll see if that's accurate.
Htc flyer stuck
hi..i'm just bought my htc flyer few days ago.it's awesome tablet..
but from last night it stuck suddenly after i do charging and restart.unable to do anything.Touch totally no function at all.After 30mins - 1hr it back to normal.
pls help me guys..
Thx a lot.
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.

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.
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.

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?

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.

They should have been readily available in your local stores since January, but for some reason Asus have been only producing a few here and there so your best bet is online here is a link you can go to what online store has the prime available at the moment:

Remember always verify first about their return window, so incase you buy a substandard prime you can easily get an exchange or get your money back with ease.
check Gamestop stores. the ones that carry tablets. I know the brick n mortar store in my area has them in stock now. I called the other day looking for a keyboard dock. they said no docks but plenty of the actual tablet.
The nowinstock link will def. help you find one, that's how I got mines
I got mine at a local Best Buy. Every local store - of every possible chain - reported them as out of stock when I checked online. I listened to some advice my wife gave me....i called and checked. I was lucky enough to get them to hold the last one they had in stock for me.
Just got about 1000 in Dixon's Retail in the UK. Only the second delivery since launch. I think they are slowly coming out.
Amazon.com
I had the same problem but wasn't going to spend almost $100 extra by going through amazon. I waited for the price to go back to retail for over a month but no dice. Finally I checked out an old faithful; Newegg had mine to me (Tallahassee, Florida) in a couple days. No tax. Perfect Prime. Amazon was great for my accessories.

I got mine from Amazon for 500. You finding them for 400?
I got mine from a best buy mobile
I got mine from Amazon, but have seen them on display at my local Staples. not sure if they actually had any in stock though.
Just ordered mine from gamestop online - they have them in stock
Best Buy was my retailer of choice because I had a faulty Xoom still under their extended warranty. I had a couple months till expiration so I waited, hoping Asus' production would mature and supply increase, which didn't really happen as well as I expected.
If you choose Best Buy, use their app too. Search at least daily for TF201 and then click to show the locations they have it in stock. That and nowinstock.net worked for me. Call BB to verify they actually have it and reserve it if they do.
