Alright fellas, since I have already got 12 of the TP's I will give you all a giant tip. There is one store that has at least 3 in every store I've been too. The price is higher but the do price match and come with a carrying case which best buy TP's don't. Head to your local Aaron's Sales and Lease. Do not tip them off that you want to buy all their stock if you call to check on quantity otherwise they will just say they have one. Aaron's typically will lease these out at $50.00 per month for a year and they like to make money just as much as the next Joe. I personally made the mistake at the first store but learned my lesson after this.
Please do not ruin this for everyone by calling every Aaron's store and telling them you will buy "their stock" and tell them the price drop over the phone as they are oblivious to it at this point. Once the employee learns of the drop in price they will magically end up reserved when in reality they will buy them and sell them. I want to see my awesome devs here on the Evo 3d forums get them before others, hence the post in these forums and not the HP Touchpad forums.
Good luck, and once again call and ask if they have "1" in stock. Drive, walk, fly, and or skip to the store, but do not ask total stock until you are in the store and ask them to price match Best Buy or you will fail (i experienced this in the first store).
My local Aaron's only had 1 in stock and it was used and heading back to a "shop" to get it fixed.
Almost.
Called and they had some coming in but retailed at $899. I assume they price match? Because that is ridiculous. Went ahead and put my name down and figured it is worth a shot at this point.
Unless you are in a small town there should be plenty of stores. I just realized also stores similar to aarons like rent a center may carry them also. It's worth a look.

Yes they price match. I had them go to best buy website to get the match they needed.

Sorry this is a dumb question, I called my local Aarons and they have some, so I'm going to head up there when I get a chance to get away from my desk, but I'm confused at how this place works. They charge you monthly if you wanna rent-to-own, but can you buy them flat-out too and they'll price match? So I should be able to bring in a print-out from best buy or hp.com and I'll be able to walk out with one at $149 or $99?
I just called and placed one on hold for tomorrow. Aarons is a rent to own store, correct? They will just let you buy one outright for 99.99? Will they price match even if best buy is out of stock? I always thought they would have to at least be available for the competitor to price match.

Just a warning for you guys. I called three Aaron's around my city (phx, az) and it seems that they have become wise to this price drop and are now bundling them with computers. If your local Aaron's is selling them separate then jump on it!

I found some stores by me that have stock. Some of them are in more "rural" areas and lemme tell you, those people are a fack ton nicer and polite that the dikheads in blue at worstbuy. Very helpful. They def have no idea whats gong on with the fire sale. They said they were out but unloading a truck as we speak and 6 are on it. They are even holding some for me! Hopefully it goes through. The toughest part is going to be price matching. Here are links to online retailers sites if anyone is interested..... (I'm not trying to sell or solicit anything with these links MODS, just posting them as leverage for fellow XDA'ers to use in price matching, no banwagon plox)

Looks like I have a very slim shot the guy from Aaron's says he is getting one in tomorrow. Took my name said he would call then it shows up. He said they would price match. Sounds too good to be true.

Just tried the same thing with one...the rep said "they are on hold at the servicing center right now"
Ps: Ty, I pmed you
I am heading to my local aarons in a little while. I will report back with results. They have six in stock. They are holding one for me. I didn't mention anything about price or matching price on phone as I thought that would mess it up.

I think you got lucky with the employee you spoke with. When I called the woman I spoke to was trying to get all my info over the phone to start a contract on the touchpad. She seemed kind of aggressive. I hope she doesn't give me a hard time. I just want to purchase one, not all.

Go on Ebay, you can find a Tablet, won't be a Touchpad but you can score one for $99 and there a few for less. Or craigslist....otherwise you are **** out of luck. I wanted a Touchpad too, I'm even on a list to be notified when they will have them available again but I am not counting on it so I just got one off of Ebay for $99.
Looks like you have a Evo 3D, so sell that , you can proably get $300-400 for it.

Yeah, if you are having financial problems, you really don't need a touchpad or a phone that isn't just barebones. I mean, 99 dollars can buy a lot of food. If you can afford the phone and touchpad, you must not be hurting that much.

This is exactly what went through my head. It's not about not feeling bad for someone during a hard time, but pawning off your stuff for money, while still paying a $105/month phone bill just seems ridiculous. When I was without a job, I didnt have a phone, or I used a virgin mobile phone with "top up cards". I can't fathom helping someone, when it appears that they're unwilling to help themselves...especially with kids
Man up and get your priorities straight. Good luck with the job hunt

Thinking you should re read the op cause his mom said she would buy it therefore making your statement false.
I am a loving father and husband but I would sell off all luxury items to pay anything needed I don't care if its their ps3. I didn't have that growing up and they can do without to gets us through a rough patch. He said he wanted it to replace those items for the kids. Why do you all go out of you Damn way to flame a guy you don't even know. Why are you so quick to judge? I am a honest hard working American myself but if I needed to go on disability guess what I would do it and you know why because I am a honest hard working American. I can't believe what xda has become. If you question someone's integrity move on to the next thread where I'm sure you all will find something else to give someone crap about.

If his situation has been so bad over the past year or even only a few months, that he is selling off his and his kids things (reguardless of wanting to attempt to replace them or not) then why buy one of the most expensive phones on the market? I too work (60 hours a week) very hard at my job to provide the life that my family deserves. But if I wasn't capable, I sure as hell wouldn't be looking for sympathy/handouts in regards to one of the most sought after items in recent history.
I'm not trying to judge anyone, nor do I know his situation specifically, however, life is tough, you've got to work for what you got. I never said he wasn't truly injured, or abusing the system, or any of that nature, but simply stating that priorities need to be evaluated here, clearly.
You can act high and mighty, and judge me about not caring about, or having sympathy to this particular person, nor people in general, and you'd probably be right. What I've got, I made happen. The things I own, I bought myself. The place I am in life, good or bad, I put myself here. I've had nothing handed to me. I've lived in the streets, I've been poor, but guess what, I got my **** together and got to where I am today. You and this guy can go elsewhere, this is a cell phone discussion board, not a damn soup kitchen

I hope this is ok to post. I came across this promotion where Verizon is willing to let me upgrade early to a 4g phone. I'm asking here cause I've followed this forum for a while and I trust advice from the regular posters here!
I don't think I want to go the Motorola route this time cause of the locked bootloader issue. Im thinking about the rezound, spectrum, or nexus.
The rezound sounds appealing now because of the unlocked bootloader. I would go for a nexus but its more expensive plus I need HDMI. (The rezound is currently $99) I use it daily. The nexus is lacking in accessories big time. So can I get some opinions from my fellow X2 users?

I've been kind of looking at upgrades too. I keep holding off just because the X2 is just beginning to get interesting. At least in my book. That said, I've been looking at the Rezound and Nexus too. They both have their minuses (like all phones) but if I do upgrade, I'm leaning toward the Rezound. One thing about the Rezound though, if you want to use HDMI, you have to buy an adapter for it. It doesn't have a dedicated port for it. Rather, it uses the USB port and for that to work, you have to buy the adapter. One more thing you need to buy but for me, it's not that big of a deal.
Spend some time reading in the forums here for the phones you are interested in and you'll get an idea of what's best for you. If you see a thread in the Rezound or Nexus forum titled something like, Rezound or Nexus, which one?, ignore them. Well, don't ignore them but remember if you're in a Rezound forum and ask that question, there's not much doubt about the way they are going to push you. Same goes for the same question in the Nexus forum. Anyway, spend some time in those forums and you'll get more of a feel for which phone is right for you.
Like I said, I've settled on the Rezound myself. However, I'm holding off to see what comes next for the X2. At least for a bit.
Whatever the case, my next phone won't be a Motorola. It's a shame too. Love their hardware. I don't think they take second to anybody else in the department but I'm kind of tired of being locked out of full usage of a phone that I bought and paid for. Just my two cents worth.

I agree..if Motorola does unlock bootloaders I would definitely be interested in raze maxx or whatever Motorola releases next. Only thing is the rezound is only 99 dollars so that's kind of hard to pass up. I'm not sure that a new CEO is going to make a difference in locked bootlaloaders though. I mean it definitely could for sure, but I think that decision goes a lot further then just one person. But again if the person who runs the place wants it done it would be done

No external sd card either. Not a deal breaker but a big strike against it. IMHO

and robocuff, I guess im one of the few who thinks 32gb is plenty of space lol...if I had a 4g phone like that I also wouldn't mind storing pretty much all my music and pics in "cloud" form. which would mean I would probly never even fill up HALF that 32gb....and I've convinced myself that the system not having to read an external memory source would speed up how the phone performs ....probly doesn't make a difference tho lol

Well, ash, I did say it wasn't a deal breaker. Anyway, I guess I'd just prefer an sd card if I can have one. I wouldn't rule out the Nexus just because of that. Just from what I read so far, the Rezound seems to be the way I want to lean right now.

I thought I'd miss the SD card myself. Now that there are all of these cloud services with huge free GB allotments, I can't imagine needing more than 32 gigs on my nexus. When I mod my wife's DX2, I'm frustrated to have everything separated.
I'd say between the nexus and Rezound, you can't make a wrong choice. They're both top phones. The only thing the nexus has in my book is development support. This is the og droid all over again. This thing will be around for a loooooong time.

Well, ash, I did say it wasn't a deal breaker. Anyway, I guess I'd just prefer an sd card if I can have one. I wouldn't rule out the Nexus just because of that. Just from what I read so far, the Rezound seems to be the way I want to lean right now.

lol
was just screwing wit ya...in actuality, id prolly fill that 32gb up quick lol
from what I've heard the rezound is solid, plus you'll be getting ics apparently by summer officially...I was highly considering the rezound also....but a certain dev getting nexus makes me.lean that way more
Well, I'm not really sure yet either. I feel like jumping to another but like I said before, things are just getting interesting here. Besides, I think of all the extras I have and it all works great together and, well, I don't know. If I do jump it'll probably be the Rezound for me though. I'll sit on it for a bit. I'm a bowhunter. I have lots of patience.

I'm excited that I get to play with my Nexus but also stick around the DX2 scene. DZK is doing some great stuff around here.

I saw a docking station for the nexus today and it was 90 dollars and didn't have an HDMI port. I guess you have to use an adapter for the USB is what someone mentioned?

Is this early upgrade deal just for you or a verizon thing. I'm guessing just for you lol since verizon hates me.
Recently chatted with viperboy about him wanting, and eventually getting, the note 2. As you fellow LTEvo'ers can deduce, this means either dropping support of his amazing work with Viper4G due to selling LTEvo to afford the note 2 on a hard Workin college dood's salary, or simply continued development through a little of our help.
Basically, 30 x $10 = we keep viperboy's LTEvo in his hands still! Not only benefiting us followers, but also supporting the dood.
Just tryin to get a rally of support from everyone cuz I was bummed when I read he was trying to get the note2, assuming he'd be moving on past the LTEvo...
Don't forget about Vin too! Donate to him just because he's so awesome...
So, $5, $10, $20? Whatever you can afford will help keep these guy's around these parts at least a little longer, and personally I don't think $10 bucks is 1) unaffordable on anyone with a smartphones salary, and 2) that outrageous of a donation by any means.
P.S. If this isn't appropriate here by some XDA policy, ill make a page somewhere else.... But until then, let the donating begin!
Post a confirmation number, and be sure to put what you're donating for in the donation notes, I think that exists... Idk, I'm about to go donate to start things off!

Wow, just saw this. This was very very kind of you, sir! You guys are truely amazing! Just want to give everyone clear expectations... I am planning to get the Note 2 and sell my EVO, only because I can't afford to keep both. I kinda just like getting new phones but I do love my LTE. So selling my LTE allows me to keep living basically lol so long story short, I would spend $300 on the Note 2 and hope to get back close to $300 for my LTE. Weither I get $300 from selling the phone or donations, the numbers ate the bottom line.
If I do end up keeping the LTE, I would plan to still support it into JB. However, with Jan recently stepping down, it might take Vin and I some more time to get Tweaks working in JB as not everything is going to just port over. So please know that as well.
Either way this goes, I can't thank you all enough for the support you guys give us. I don't want anyone to see this as a plea for money or anything like that - its just simple math and I need to recoup my money in some way.
Again, thank you all for being a wonderful community and giving Vin and I the opportunity to share our work with you all. I would love to be able to continue working on this phone. Thanks again!

I haven't used the venom ROM for awhile, but in general I like this idea and like how straight viper was above. You and vin are good guys, thanks for all you do.
I have to run donations past the old ball and chain first, but something should be coming from me within the next pay period or so.

Glad to see Viperboy coming to the Note 2. Can't wait till next week.

Just to update, thanks to all who donated recently. Between 4 people was $60, which is very nice. I really would like to keep the phone, so I'm getting rid of my old electronics as well to try and offset the cost. I didn't think I would get $300 from users, which that's ok still trying to make it work and keep the LTE.

Viper!! You guys are the reason I bought my LTEvo. I'm a little slim in the money department until about Friday, but if it means you doing what you do best, you best believe my hard earned cash will be a small contribution to what I call an awesome and mind blowing project.
In the end, my money will not be enough to say thank you for all your hard work you've done for this community of ours. So thank you.
-from a Sprint Technical Consultant.
I threw you a 20, but it was quite a while back. Haven't used your ROM, and really I just use AOSP, but still, am really appreciative of all your various contributions to this community. Hope you'll be able to stay. Thank you.
You don't really want a Samsung
hurled from my AOKP'd Evo LTE. Enjoy.
I have sold 4 of my old devices to try and keep this one. Not sure if I can still financially do it or not.

First I would like to thank all the DEV's for all the great things you have done for many, many phones over the years. Second I see a lot of people getting pissy over the 2.04 FW for the DNA. I updated before getting the unlock.bin, I was a day late and a buck short on finding out I could not unlock the new bootloader, whose fault was that? Mine and mine alone. I bought this phone in the first place because I liked the specs and kinda figured XDA would have it figured out, and you did. I have always appreciated everything XDA has brought to the table for me since hmm since a boatload of phones ago, I did then and do now. Some people here need to be reminded that you guys put in a lot of hours and work for the mods and write ups you bring us on your own free will and most likely are not making a ton of money for doing it.
If you guys are working on it then great and thank you, if you think it's time to move on to a new project and those of us that updated are SOL then I DO NOT hold it against you or take it personally and still thank you for all the great work you have done thus far.
Thanks,
Shane
Yes, I agree totally.
And would only like to make it known that I'd be willing pony up the donation to make it possible for us too. As I would hope many others would also...?
Thanks again.

People need to realize that a lot of these guys have families or are in school and do this for fun. One guy had posted up that he was super sick and wasnt gonna be doing much and people still blew the thread up asking when he was going to work on it again. What these guys do is great and it is leaps and bounds more amazing than the iOS community I came from. (Prior iphone owner).

I'm brand new here to DNA, but am no stranger to respecting devs. Just making it known my REQUEST and OFFER to donate in return for their hard work.
I don't think there's anything wrong with at least getting it out there.
Thanks.

Why don't u mind your own business. If you don't have anything productive to say, please move on.
Is that too much, Moderator? Or is it true? I'm tired of hearing people who are probably rooted, run their mouth.

I'm sure that's EXACTLY how the devs feel. </sarcasm>
While normally I might agree with you, so what, this is just a general forum, and there a still plenty of people who need to realize that these devs are random people just like them. These devs just happen to have some know how and willingly spend (a lot of) their own time working on tweaking things. Then they're nice enough to share that work with the world, often asking for nothing more than sharing their work and credit where it's due.
And I know of a few who are doing that... I understand who your are speaking to and I agree.
I'm just saying it's understandable that they're upset. Me, I traded it knowing I'm gonna have to wait and am trying not to cry about it. It may get cracked or maybe not, still a great phone!

I'm not rooted, I was then bricked doing something, hard bricked, got a phone sent to me with the rootable FW BUT I did the update before I unlocked. MY bad. I would love it if the DEVs figure this out and make it so people like me and who ever else can root again. If not I read some where I can send it in to get JTAGGED or I could always look for a non updated DNA or just wait and buy the HTC ONE, but I really love the DNA, I would love it alittle more if I could do a few more things that a rooted DNA lets me do.

Any word if sending it to someone to be jtagged is actually an option? My DNA is my spare device, so I could definitely send it off for a while.

All the info is there. Is your spare DNA upgraded to the 2.04 FW? If no then you do not need to send it away.
If you do this would you keep us updated please. I have a spare phone I could use for awhile if I take that route.

Yeah a store rep took the ota right in front of me after he gave me a new sim.. Was pissed. Definitely looking into this. Everyone feel like this is legit and think they won't just keep my phone? Haha
Edit :
I just reached out to him on twitter. If it's reasonably priced, I'll take the dive.

I don't think this is a keep your phone scam. I fix and build PC's on the side and I have strangers give me laptops, desktop, ipods, phones, and other junk all the time to be fixed. And when something needs parts they give me credit card numbers. Maybe they can send you some sort of email contract or receipt or something.
Yeah after wagching the video and reading through twitter a bit, it seems legit. I'm definitely going to send it in if the price makes sense.
