View no longer available on sprint website - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder why. Does anyone know?

Was told today at a Sprint corp store that it was end of life next week.

I read on Google that it was eol at the end of January. Makes me curious about something. See I was really close to buying the evo view instead, but the day I was going to buy it, the price went up $50 so if got the flyer instead. The flyer is getting an ics update, but is the evo? Other than having a cdma radio and a different paint job how much different is it actually over the flyer?

Do you know if they are under $249 at the stores? I just got mine last week, so if it is I am within my 2 weeks. I should be eligible for a price match.

I haven't read anywhere that either was getting ICS. Where did you read that at?

I Googled "htc flyer ics update " and found an announcement from htc with a list of devices slated for the update and the flyer was listed, and I'm hearing possibly before second quarter

I was told by the Sprint rep they would not be lowering the price. He said they usually just pull the stock from stores to be sent back to the manufacturer. I am guessing they have already started doing this and this is why the View has been so inexpensive and available on ebay and other outlets.

The Flyer/View was just such a missed opportunity for HTC. They are really stand out android tablets. Nice build quality, very responsive and fast with a single core, easy to carry due to 7" display, great stylus integration. If only they priced it correctly from the get go. As it stands they are probably the best 2 android tablets that no one knew existed

Here is HTC's official page where they list the ICS update available phones.
Unless I overlooked it, Flyer/View is not there.

Guess I'd better buy accessories for mine while I still can. Can onyone confirm that the charger for the Evo View is compatible with the HTC Flyer? I assume it is, but just want to be sure. I'll probably buy a car charger and a back-up mains charger if so.

The Evo View and Flyer are exactly same with the exception of the Wimax radio in the View. Accessories for one will fit the other.

If you go to a Sprint store and buy 2 accessories they give you 20% off. Which makes the store price of $50 for the scribe the same as sprint online price of $40. I have actually been wanting a Jawbone Jambox so I got that and an extra scribe.

I'd be all over that if they carried the OEM chargers, but the last Sprint store I went to did not. I'll try later today at a store that's close to where I work.

Some stores will match the on line price if you ask. I want a scribe, but they are kinda over priced IMO.

FYI, the EVO View is available for $275 (link below), they are brand new and no Sprint contract to worry about. I called a local Sprint contract store last week and they said the View was available for $249 with a 2 year contract. I wasn't interested in a contract commitment. I am not planning to use the Sprint service so the Flyer would have been fine for me but I just couldn't warm up to the white/silver color combo and the View has 32GB of built-in memory and the black color suits me perfect. Got my View yesterday, updated to HC and really enjoying it. I also ordered the scribe from Sprint's website at the sale price.

Finally realized that.
That's what XDA is for right? I think a few devs are moving from Evo to Evo 3D, so there will probably be quite a few stable roms after the release.
As far as a bootloader, maybe someone will crack it? I only hope HTC and Sprint aren't going down that road.
I'm wondering what they are going to want you to put down on it.

Sprint is also doing the instant rebate until June 4th, and i think the E3 is comming out on the same day? I guess my safe bet is just to go with Best Buy.

Really??? I only thought that T-Mobile was the only one that did that (at least in Puerto Rico, T-Mobile lets you get any phone and split the total cost in 4 payments that get added to your next 4 billing statements). If Sprint does this, then this is a no-brainer.
Pre Ordered Last Night
Pre ordered my EVO 3D last night from the Best Buy on 23rd and 6th ave in NYC.
The store on 62nd and Broadway hadn't heard about it and were a bit ignorant (told me TMO Nexus S works on any carrier, including Sprint and Verizon. Argued it had GSM and CDMA radio in it...)
The pre order cost me $50, which they put onto a gift card and had me fill out a small paper with name and phone number which they entered into their system.
Also, they didn't check my current sprint account.
Hope that helps anybody curious about the process. Very quick and simple when the store is aware of the EVO 3D pre order!

Flyer unavailable at Best Buy (11.22.11)?

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.

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.

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...

Right now you can get an EVO 3D for 129.99 plus $5.00 shipping at Cowboom.com.
It's their deal of the day. I have personally bought two EVO 4Gs from this site recently. One for me and one for my wife. They arrived in great condition. There were no cords or anything with them, but I'm not complaining. You dont get stuck signing a contract and you still get a great phone for cheap.

I always do the same thing with every phone. I buy it brand new, then when I can get an upgrade, I sell my phone for the upgrade price of the new phone. Bam, free phones for life.
Selling it to my cousin, its in excellect condition. $150 is fair.
My buyout was more than expected ($165) so it'll be $15 once this week is out.

Will sell it. Normally keep a decent phone spare in case phone is stolen/broken, but as wife just got a Galaxy Nexus replacement for her stolen Nexus S, we will keep that instead. I am hoping they come out with another 3D phone in the next couple of years as I quite like the 3D feature

Worst case it goes in the drawer with the rest of my old phones. I have legacy devices all the way back to the Motorola StarTac.
It will be my new TEP or insurance policy.
The rate goes up to $132/year + tax+ $150 deductible. Or every bit of $300 if you exercise the policy.
The first year defects are covered by the manufacture.
I believe the sprint buy back on the evo 3d is $110. Not $280 stated above.
Down time is shorter to activate the 3d. I'm not sure if there is an activation charge. I guess there is.
There always seems to be tear down instructions in the sticky sections.
As usual people probably abused the system. And those of us that played by the rules get screwed.

When I got the 3D last year, I got Best buy insurance, because I got their insurance they offered me a buy back which I had to purchase. So I paid them 30 last year to buy my 3D for 280. They won't give you that much if don't have their buy back.

Getting my EVO on Sat, Sept 1...Where should I purchase?

It's been a long grueling last year with my OG Evo and it's time to part ways. I've always been and HTC supporter and I will continue to support their product. I will be getting an EVO LTE but paying the full $199 just seems outlandish especially now that ATT and T-Mobile dropped the One X to $99.99. I have some other options rather than buying directly from Sprint but I wanted to know other people's experience. Radioshack and Wirefly will ship one to my house, FedEx next day (which means I wouldn't get it till Tuesday), for $149.99 even. I was wanting to know any drawbacks to purchasing from these two providers rather than going through Sprint. I do have full insurance through Asurion so accidental damage isn't my concern but more of what happens if there is a manufactures defect? Also, anybody heard any news of Sprint reducing the price so they can compete? I would hate to pay $199 and then have Sprint drop it to $99 in the next month or so.
I could also go to Best Buy and get it for $149.99. I think this is going to be my first option considering my patience with my OG is running really thin. I am also selling my great condition OG with a ton of stuff so if anyone want to shoot me an offer, I would definitely think about it before posting on eBay.
It's too bad you didn't get it last week bestbuy had it for $99 for a week. I just got mine this pay Friday paid $104 out the door

Ya I just checked and it is only for brand new lines. I need to upgrade so it would be $99 which isn't bad. I may just have to do that. I may walk in to best buy and see if they will honor last weeks price because I'm technically not eligible until Sept 1st and I've tried everything to get my date pushed up. Once again I am upgrading and not starting a new line or contract. The prices vary drastically.
Amazon wireless will have the best deal. No tax.

Ya I just checked and it is only for brand new lines. I need to upgrade so it would be $99 which isn't bad. I may just have to do that. I may walk in to best buy and see if they will honor last weeks price because I'm technically not eligible until Sept 1st and I've tried everything to get my date pushed up. Once again I am upgrading and not starting a new line or contract. The prices vary drastically.

I think that the most important part for you is to get evo with 1.12 hboot. If you go to the big stores or sprint corporate store you may not find it. You need to go to small stores that sell sprint phones, that way you may get lucky.

Yah absolutely. The problem is small stores that sell Sprint have to abide by Sprint's pricing. I fell like if I order one online, it will come boxed and I can do whatever from there. I'm sure there will be a LazyPanda updated for 1.15 but who knows when. Having radio S-OFF isn't the biggest deal to me as long as I can get root. It sucks not being able to sideload firmware but what are you going to do about HTC and their bootloaders. I think I'm going to go through Amazon. It seems to be the only place to get the upgrade price of $99.99.

So get a new line and shutdown the old one. You'll get it for $99 then.

I'm on a family plan. How does that actually work? Would I have to get a new number?

Yes to a new number. Sucks a little but saves some money.

If you have a Sam's Club membership, it's $98.
