If you don't feel guilty about taking advantage of their pricing error, I guess there is no hope for shame over that baiting headline.
Seriously, what's going on around here. Another pointless thread.

Feeling guilty? lol for seeing it marked as $100 and taking advantage of it like everyone else tried?
And they only charged you $100? They official word was the price would not be honored.
Apparently everyone is going into ROM withdrawals.
Geeks.com has the HTC View (Sprint 3G Flyer)
3G (CMDA200, EVDO) and 4G (WiMAX) wireless (for Sprint)
for $399. no contract.

I bought the Flyer on a Monday and I saw the new price for $100 on Thursday. I thought they brought the price down or something, I wasn't sure so I just called BB and asked for a price adjustment. The lady on the phone told me that I should see a $200 refund tomorrow (Friday) and I was like okay, cool!
Later that day I started reading that it was a mistake and it wasn't meant to be for $100. At that point, I figured if they give me the refund, then I just got an unbelievable black friday deal, otherwise, I'm not losing anything. Lo' and behold, my statement only said $100. I don't think they caught this when they made the refund. And my situation was different in that I bought the flyer a few days ago, and then asked for a price adjustment, whereas others saw the price drop and THEN ordered it.
I forgot who, but another user, I think Butterflygirl(?), bought 3 Flyers a few days before the error in pricing and asked for a price adjustment. Idk if she got it or not, but it would be cool if she did. I don' think she updated us on it yet.
I didn't get it., but I'm glad someone did.

Nice to see you on here butterflygirl.
Well lucky you guys, over here in Italy when the Flyer 510e came out on the first days I paid “740.00 euro” for mine. The price range at the beginning was from 730.00 to 760.00 euro, now you can buy one for less than 500.00 euro.

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.

No, BB is not including the Pen. (not yesterday anyway)
Yes, BB Price match policy includes BB & BB.com prices. (it should not be a hassle becaue they are matching their own price, it may need a mgr approval but for $200 it's worth it)
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Help-To...ee/pcmcat204400050011.c?id=pcmcat204400050011
(post edit, only specific items are good for 60 days on the price match, normal return times apply here afaik)
I picked up a flyer yesterday before reading this post, I will be re-visiting my local BB today to recover some $$

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.
Wait, here it is from the link you posted:
"Simply let us know when you are making your purchase or during the return and exchange period..."
Bottom line, don't wait.

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....
Just ordered my a Flyer from bestbuy.com for $99
I had to use their mobile site, but it worked.
here is a picture =-)
ok, first upload failed, here is the pic.
Nice discount , but currently sold out online http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HTC+-+F...hite/2390524.p?skuId=2390524&id=1218332598563
funny, seeing it for $300 made me happy, $100 makes me mad. Feel pretty ripped off now for paying the original!
Oh wow!
Very glad I bought mine when I did. As any chances they're gonna bring it back?
I ordered mine as an in store pick up option. Any chances they will do a price adjustment if I go to pick it up today?

There website says they will give you the lower price.
I purchased 3 of these with pens over the weekend (for me and the kids). Called best buy this morning to ask about the price match guarantee. Apparently, the refund amt was too much for the CS rep to authorize, but she says someone will call me today or tomorrow to verify that I will get the refund. Whoo Hoo! Hopefully, that will be about $720 refund on the 3 tablets and pens!
Mobile site won't let me do store pickup either. Going to my local BB at 10:00 when the open. Worth a shot.
They open up at 9 a.m. here. Still trying to figure out why I need one. LoL Maybe I'll use it to control my HTPC using XBMC. :-D
Going to my local BB in a half an hour, also. Might pick up two!

I'm on hold with the rep myself to ask about the price adjustment.
If I can get this for $100, this will perhaps be the greatest deal I've made this whole year, lol.
But that would be really awesome for you! Getting $600 off on your tablets. 3 tabs for $100 is amazing.
I called and talked to them today after seeing this thread. I purchased mine on Saturday. I used my Best Buy CC with the 18 month financing, so my concern is that the won't do the match because of that. I saw something on their site about it. But the guy on the phone said he "personally couldn't approve it, and was forwarding it to the credit department". I should have an answer via email in the next 10 minutes.
I'm hoping that it goes through. I'll update.
They just posted on the door that regular price is $299 and that it was an error for $99 they will not honor the price.

Just got back from Bestbuy. It was a pricing error. There was a short line when I got there waiting to get in. At least 4 people walked in and out within 2 minutes after being informed that they are NOT getting the flyer for $99. Oh well. :-/
It was an OOPS, saw the notice with my own eyes...
I know this tablet is already a great price for what it cost.
I am just wondering if there is any chance of another sale before xmas, or if there is an official venue I can get refurbs from?
Check out bestbuy. Or htc.com its self.

If you always wait for something to go "on sale" you will never have anything, because something newer and bluer will come around and then you will wait until THAT goes on sale.
Get the one from BB. It's $299. I bought mine last Friday and I think it's great!.

I narrow down what I am looking for and then evaluate what is coming out, what is out, and what is just going to be unfeasible to get.
I am most certainly not one of those fools who believes it is always better to wait, I've been burned for doing it before.
On the other hand, I also do my best to balance out my budget and I am usually ok with settling.

I gotta admit, it is the first tablet that has caught my eye.
ipad wasn't impressive, and the galaxy tab just seemed overpriced and rather generic.. (especially at 500$)
BB would be your best bet for finding an open box (They dont sell refurbs in the store, only returned items) possibly on their website though.
You're not going to find them discounted much less than $300, the cost on the item for retailrs is $429, so they are already selling at a loss.
The $299 price was to good to pass up for me. Any lower and we're talking "fire sale".
It's a great device at a great price right now.

Oh, I'll definitely keep that in mind then.
It's sold out on the BB web site and most local (to me) stores are out of them here - there's only one with them in stock within an hour drive, so I doubt they will drop the price. Hopefully they're making more of them and the $299 price wasn't just to sell off what was left. I redeemed some CC points for a bestbuy gift card with the intention of buying one, I just hope by the time they get here I can find one...
I did. Couldn't put up with "backorder for 30 days" email from best buy on my 11/30 preorder. Paid $759 plus $14 plus overnight shipping. Got UPS confirmation that it will be delivered before 3 tomorrow. No regrets, yet.

Ordered a 64Gb from B&H and they don't know ****, and after the rumors of delay to Q2 and that Amazon will ship Jan 25 - Feb and that the launch in Sweden is also late Jan/Feb. I decided to buy from Ebay. but the thing that really triggered was what B&H wrote on facebook
" B&H Photo Video Pro Audio*Jeffrey Galles*- I think we got champagne today. In all honesty I didn't know there were two colors until a little while ago."
They don't even know what they are selling and have available for preorder on there site, First and last time I will have anything with B&H to do.
The one from Ebay is over priced but what is there to do when I don't want to wait like 1 to 2 months and by that time the Prime is "old" and there will be other products to look at.

I don't know... if you have the money, then sure, you one-percenters can do whatever the hell you want.
But, in the grand scheme of things, you'll only be using this a week or so (I seriously doubt it'll take another month) early so was it worth it? I mean, you can basically do everything on a computer. Tablets are not needed -- they're awesome to use but they don't do much in terms of productivity (especially when compared to laptops/pcs).
Also, by buying off the guys on eBay, you are perpetuating the reselling process. Do you know a big reason you didn't get your pre-order? Because some **** bought 10 of these first and resold them on eBay. Guys like these really serve no economic value. (retailers provide distribution channels and outlets, what do resellers do?)

1%? I think there are quite a few people in the 99% that can afford to pay a couple extra hundred dollars more for a tablet.
ebay is too risky.
Easy to get scammed by someone trying to capitalized on the shortage supply and high demand.
It's not worth it, I can wait a little longer till local retails began getting supplies in after x-mas.

eBay is why pre-ordering sucks. Douchbags waste inventory which ruins it for the rest of us. Really pre-orders should come with a 6 month no-resale clause with head-crushing as punishment.

You can tell your "Occupy XDA" story walking pal. A week? I'm on backorder with BB for 30 days and nobody knows what the real story is. Hell, I had a Gamestop manager tell me he overheard a conference call he wasn't supposed to be privy to and that he heard that there were only 1000 tablets shipped to the U.S. and that Gamestop got 600 of those. If tablets are not needed then why are you trolling this forum and dropping your mighty wisdom? The reason I didn't get my preorder has nothing to do with someone buying in bulk, it's because BB and the other companies got duped by ASUS just like last year. People pay for goods based on the value they perceive that said goods provide to them personally. If an individual made $250 or so off me then good, eliminating the frustration and time I put into this debacle is worth it to me.
Ebay is showing three (or so) 64GB primes. If they are truly 64GB primes, that is encouraging that they have made at least one run. Don't know why they are not available yet for sale though.

Too risky. There is a good chance the ones on eBay are from the bad wifi batch. And I saw one seller with a description that said he got several from Bestbuy.com yet he also copy and pasted the list of free games from Gamestop, including the part that says "Purchase a New Android(TM) Tablet Customized by GameStop and get free digital games!" So I wouldn't believe anything he says
DOD site dailysteals.com has the international Note 2 on sale for $585. It's about $100 cheaper than I've seen, but to be honest, I havent looked that hard. DailySteals is a good site, I've purchased from them before, not the fastest shipping, but still not bad at all. Seeing as most of us are still in contract and can sell their Notes for $300 to $400, it isn't a bad upgrade option at all.
