Looks like I will be joining this forum cause I just bought a Flyer today and should have it in a week or so. Paid $139.99 for it so hope this is a good deal (if it isn't give me a heads up). Planning on rooting and slappin' HC on it as soon as I get it unless it is on there already.
Anyways, just giving a shout out to my new tablet peeps.
Very good deal, welcome aboard
It is only a good deal if you get what you think you are getting...Price seems a little cheap. Assuming it is used?

It is a reconditioned one from Buy.com everyone is posting about.
199.99-$10 coupon=189.99 Then did the $50 credit for a new Freedom card and charged it to that which brings the total to 139.99. Should get it on Tuesday.
Great deal. I tried a few Android tablets. The flyer is best and for under $200. Great deal
Very good deal. Congratulations.
I have also got mine some days ago. 32 GB 3g. I am very, very satisfied. I am expecting the stable development of ICS to root and install roms.
Best regards
Wow thats an even better deal than what I got. I just bought a flyer today actually, $199 refurbished off buy.com, but I actually found a coupon for $10 off, but then added a $27 1-year service plan for it. It's a 16GB model. I was actually eyeing the evo view on newegg which was 32gigs, brand new, and $250, but the price went up $50 today so it made the decision easy on which one to buy.
I'm very excited about getting this tablet and I've been lurking around the captivate community for a while, look forward to getting to know this tablet better!
I paid $499 for mine a bit after release, and love it. I can't see how this can't be a smoking good deal for you!

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.

Ha! $1 says you won't want to give it up! These devices are way too convenient and fun-sized.

my 2 cents
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 $$
Cheers
BR
(on a side note I also go the rocketfish hardshell case and like it because it adds very little bulk) now if they would only let me wear cargo pants at work...

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.
Is it the wifi only version or 3G?

Going to get mine today. I got the pen, Rocketfish hard case, screen protector, SD for under $450. I'm glad I waited for the price drop. It's what it should've been priced in the first place.

In BestBuy right now getting the difference from the Flyer I bought for my wife a month ago and I'm not the only one here getting their money back. 10 or so other people here in line, LOL!
Edit.: cha-ching!! No problems, no questions
easy
Went in told the CS person that the price dropped $200 and less than 5 minutes later got my $$ plus sales tax "would you like that in cash or gift card?, um cash will be fine thanks"
Cheers

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 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!.

lol. Which is exactly why I always start doing xmas shopping about 3 months a head of time
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.
lol. I bought mine from bestbuy monday and i love it.

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...
Nope! Just kidding. I got it during the BB pricing error for $100. So with or without the updates, I'm not caring too much. Got a good deal on it

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.
Saw this on slickdeals. that's a pretty good price for a 64gb! anyone wanting one should jump on this deal as the next lowest I could find was over $100
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/SanDisk...Card/4120116.p?id=1218457270220&skuId=4120116
That's easily the best price you'll find for this card. I think I bought mine for about $110 several months ago. Aside from that, it was on sale for $100 at Best Buy last December-ish. This price is a no-brainer if you need the extra space.

Looks like it is sold out online and cannot be purchased instore.
That is a very good price. Thanks for sharing.
thats efing awesome
I had come here to post that when it first showed up - but you beat me to it. I hope someone from this forum jumped on it.
I've been happily using mine for months - I paid $100. It's been absolutely great.
Good looks, I'm copping one for my tablet asap.
S3nt from my 3D wond3rland
Well that good the prices are dropping.... I think I'll hold off till they come down to about $20-$30
I get my Prime back on Wednesday from RMA and will not want to keep it if I cannot re-unlock. I see the tablet and dock listed on CL for just under $500. Are they actually selling at this price? Seems a little high to me but would be great if I could get this. I would be interested from hearing from anyone who has recently bought or sold one on Craig's List. Thanks!

I just bought a prime yesterday from cowboom for 299. Shipped. So $500 is a bit steep. and looking at a docking station on ebay for 75. So out the door 375 shipped. If you are interested in getting rid of the prime let me know I may be looking to get a second one

Appreciate your reply. Yep, I saw that site - that's what made me surprised about the CL price and I was wondering if you could actually sell a Prime for a little under $500. I get the Prime back tomorrow. I will hit you up by PM if I cannot unlock, although I am hoping against hope that the Unlock app actually works for me...

I can say for sure they are moving nicely for $400-$450 on CL. In fact, I've had mine posted since yesterday afternoon... http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/ele/3144382828.html and I have about 7 hits, all very reasonable. Since I will also consider trades, some examples are Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus and $150 and just a few minutes ago a 16GB white iPhone 4 mint condition ( AT&T unlocked ) not jailbroken plus $200 cash. As for straight cash, lowest offer was $400, and the deal that is most likely to happen, possibly tonight or early tomorrow, is $430 cash. So, hope that helps.
EDIT: I've just recently heard of Cowboom, never even visited the site. I hope for my sake people looking for a used Prime haven't heard of it either, and go to CL or eBay

That Cowboom site is going to kill the price of Primes if people get wind of it. I am thinking I probably should sell this sooner rather than later if I cannot unlock. $400-450 does seem good at this point. I saw your ad - good call on the Nexus 7. I got mine yesterday and it has been a real breath of fresh air so far.
Yea I wanna give the N7 a shot. I really doubt anyone is gonna trade me one, so I'll just end up buying one new. The plan is to get the N7 and then either upgrade the cell phone, or get a last gen 10" tablet ( Galaxy Tab, Xoom, etc for $200-$250. I miss having both 10" and 7" tablets at the same time.
