The Best Buy website still shows the Flyer @ $299, but both online and all the stores I checked are out.
Any thoughts/news on whether this is due to strong sales or end-of-life? I enjoy mine so much my mom decided to get one, but now we can't find one.

I realize that ROM development for the view and flyer is different. However, are they both equally rootable? Do they both receive the same regular updates from HTC, including the most recent 2.3.4?
Will they both receive the same HC update in the [indefinite] future?
I'm just wondering if there is a risk to buying the View over the flyer
I just got mine from Techforless. Delivered earlier than expected; it was refurbished, but looks brand new; and works like a charm. Meanwhile, Ijust finished following globatron's awesome guide to installing Honeycomb with no problems at all.
mcoup10off should get you 10% off for another day, i think (found the code online).
No prob rooting and the last update came quicker than the flyer, hc, still waiting.

Two days ago, I checked Best Buy online all every store in my area had them in stock. Yesterday, none did. My guess is that there will be some kind of sale.
Playbooks were recently sold for $200, I bet the same will happen with Flyers.

I think you have to buy a HP PC to go with the $200 playbook.

You are right. $200 is such a good price. And it's better than Kindle Fire.
Right. I own a Playbook too and the Flyer is a much better tablet at the moment but the Playbook has some advantages too and MIGHT get better over time.

Has RIM released the update to allow you to run Android completely on it? That was the reason I didn't get it in the first place (other than it being a crackberry).

There is an open beta that lets you install Android Apps.
There are limitiations. Anything that was developed using the Android SDK won't work. Probably about 50% of Android Apps work. Kindle works. At this point, I would not buy a Playbook thinking that you can run the Android Apps that you want to though. Many won't work.
RIM's appworld is actually starting to fill out with some decent apps. EA games like Madden. Gameloft games.
The Kindle HTML5 Web App also works.

There have been plently of updates but none of them have expanded the feature set much. There is a big update scheduled for February that will bring a lot of new features. If this goes off as planned, the Playbook will be pretty competitive with Android and iOS.
I paid full price and feel screwed but if you can get one for $200, I think its worth the risk. the Playbook OS is really fast and fun to use. Hopefully one day you can do alot with it.
It is a limited platform with few users and a device who's future is uncertain. not to mention rim is struggling mightily

All true! My point is that for $200 it might be worth seeing how it plays out.
I bought a playbook for $199 and I do have to say that the multi-tasking and internet browser is unmatched in regards to other tablets. Part of the reason is that it was designed from the ground up with tablets in mind. Unfortunately, it is missing features such as android apps, email, and a kindle app. I put it back in the box for now and will continue to use my flyer for now. I will play with it again in February to see if the promised update makes this tablet more usable for me (I don't have a BB phone so I can't use the link feature).

So I was looking at this, can you use this via wifi? Is it the same as the Flyer just with larger SD storage? I just notice is says 4g, don't those usually need a data plan of some sort to run? Where as the Flyer has the wifi and the 3g model and the best buy one was just a wifi so it didn't need a service contract. I just don't want to buy this and then have to have a plan for it rather than just wifi.

You dont "need" a data plan you could just run it wifi. The Flyer and View are not exactly the same though. The roms and ruu's are specific, in that regard the flyer gets a bit more love. I also wouldn't be shocked to see the Flyer get the official update to HC before the View does. No carrier testing involved.

Thanks for the info lrs421. So I think I'll pass on that then... I called Best Buy because I ordered one yesterday and it said it was in stock online. then today looked at my order and it said backordered. When I called they said It was BO for up to 30 days but should be no longer than that. Not sure what to do, wait it out and hope i get one, or go to that tech for less and get an "open Item" one.... decisions...
So, apparently the One X absolutely destroys the Nexus AND the Transformer Prime. Now THAT'S impressive. Looks like the Snapdragon S4 is promising.

looks like that the biggest increases comes from switching between a 266mhz single channel memory interface (s3) to the new 500mhz dual channel one more than from core optimization (which should be still pretty nice as it is cortex-a15-like)

Yes, my sentiments exactly, but the number one reason that I refuse to buy the x one is the lack of removable battery..... hell no to that.

It says that it scored a 4900 on quadrant, but yet blows away the Transformer Prime. I've tested mine and scored an 5088 with Quadrant. Here is my proof. I am not dissing the One X by any means, I am just stating my Prime can pull the same #'s on tests. To me its how well the OS is built for the phone and what kind of developers we have to make what HTC gives us and transform it into a beast.

For me it's more about choice. You don't have to attach those large batteries but you can if you want to. And all my friends who have iPhones say after a year or so they can't hold a charge any longer. But you can't do anything about that on the iPhone. At least you can replace the standard battery on most Android phones.
But yeah two reasons I won't be getting the One is the lack of expandable storage and no removable battery. I have maps and media installed on my phone and that takes up a good portion of the memory. Also, I need to switch out batteries when I cover E3 or CES as that thing gets used a lot for SMS in communicating with the team (talking is horrible with all the noise at these things) and reading emails and appointments.
The performance does look great and I do like the car dock mode for the One. Honestly, if the Sprint variant had LTE, removable battery, and SD Card slot, I'd swap out my EVO 3D for it
I think the phone looks nice but it's not for me. I have the galaxy note which has expandable memory and battery. That's really important for me. Batteries get worn down or are defective. I had an iPhone 4 which came with a defective battery and all I could do is send it back. If it were any other phone I'd just buy a new one and ask to have it reimbursed. Who knows how the battery life will be on a device with that many cores. Hmmm... I'm still not tempted.

Your not comparing apples to apples there...you OC'd nodded the Prime. I'm sure they were comparing it to bone stock on both devices.
The Prime should win out GPU wise from what I've read but rest is at the very least a toss up if not S4 in favor...

I just enabled the 1.6 that Asus put in there after they gave us ICS. Before ICS, the 1.6 config was not in there, but afterwards it was. So we, Prime owners, just enabled it. I have rooted my Prime, but have not unlocked it or flashed a custom ROM/Kernel yet.
Are there screws somewhere on the phone (like the iPhone) that could be taken off to have access to removing the battery?

I would assume there has to be, because there has to be a way for them to replace a faulty battery in case it ever happens.
I to am hating the no memory card and no removable battery.
I'm not bothered by the battery at all. If it ends up being faulty, get a new one. I can see why the people who travel a lot might miss an extended battery, but there are car chargers and a lot of other accessories that can make that more bearable.

Never seen a top of the line phone initial release in say.. pink
not to mention if the video states that it will no be available next year and it will be using current MAIN STREAM technology ... So I would be thinking dual core 1.2 Ghz. that is unless a major hardware manufacture picks it up. I would be interested to see the outcome, but count me out.

2100 mah REMOVABLE Battery

Quote from Engadget
The Galaxy S III's beating heart is Samsung's new 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos processor, aided by a fresh GPU that is supposedly 65 percent faster than the companion Mali 400 graphics chip on the Galaxy S II. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to give GTA III a blast, nor run our typical benchmark apps, but in any case the model we played with was not final hardware. That said, we were able to grab a quick SunSpider browser performance score of just under 1,500ms, putting the phone below HTC's polycarb-clad wonder -- but lower is better, by the way.

The One X camera didnt even beat the GS2 or the 4S in reviews lol. Of course none of the HTC die hards will admit anything other than an HTC phone being better anyways. And yea id rather wait to have the better phone, I made the mistake of not doing so with the 3D last year.. not this year. More memory, better processor, bigger screen, thinner, removable battery...yea works for me. Being able to take 90 pics in a minute doesnt matter to me when the optics still suck. Comparison below pretty much shuts that down.

Its official, the Samsung GSIII has a REMOVABLE battery. This is the ONE thing I with the EVO 4G LTE (One X) was going to have. This could tip the scales for me. Sprint beefed the battery in the U.S. EVO 4G LTE over the One X specs. This chart has the One X. Still, removable is good. I dont know what I'll do now. I prefer sense over TouchWiz crap too.

How many phones have Sony announced this year?
Seems at least 10 different models based on the same line up.
Is this excessive or not?
I don't see the point releasing that many phones when they are all very similar in specs and design.
Not only those two but the T as well which is their new flagship device.

All of these handsets are aimed at a different user/audience. The V is quite a nice introduction because it has 4G capability, it seems pretty similar to the S just with 4G and other features added but only being released in the US. Whilst the J is the affordable smartphone option.
This is something you should expect from a manufacturer, and hope to see continued (constantly improving/releasing devices).
On a business side of things, the more products you produce the better. Again it's to be expected. So no i don't think it's excessive i just think it's more selfish, i would like to see them concentrating more on support for their current flagship device(s) rather than maximizing profits/gaining larger audiences. If they were to concentrate their efforts on improving and maintaining current devices there wouldn't be a need for so many devices, and perhaps when they release something new it will include all of the features the entire line has rather than releasing individual devices with new features and be a device with all the improvements and current firmwares/software's applicable.

Because a dual-core Krait is equal/more powerful than actual quad-cores (Tegra3 and Exynos-Quad), and that is better because no all the apps uses 4 cores or 2.
Xperia T should be twice as fast than Xperia S in pure processing power. In games... 50% more on the lowest case.

Better battery life has not been confirmed, it's not particularly hard to introduce an extended battery either.
Onscreen buttons are achieved easily by a mod in these forums.

Well, it matters if u are a biker and ur city happen to be located inside a rainforest.
For the button,U could mod it.but it just plain silly to have duplication of button on top of one another doing similar thing.
I'm saying better battery life simply as dual core and smaller screen won't be as resources hungry as quadcore megascreen.
The point is this phone is as fast as the other flagship, but with better camera and could be thrown in the pool for fun sake. And it pocketable too 4.3" screen with onscreen button would be as big as current 4" screen.
This probably appeal to the I don't want a phablet but I want a powerful spec crowd. Last I check there's isn't any competitor in this category yet.
Unless one got the new iphone,which may rocking a 4" screen, so would be about the same size as this phone.

Not only that, the quad core S4s aren't even in production yet.
LG will be the first company with the quad core S4s later on.
