Hello,
I'm not a big fan of Best Buy, but I noticed that they are selling refurbished TF-101 docks for $100. Do you think a refurb from Best Buy would be good to get? I know they have a bad rep for other items.
I have a gift card from Christmas from them and I'm thinking about getting one.
Has anyone tried them or called bestbuy to find out more info yet?

It'll probably be fine I bought a refurbished dock from a different place and it works like a champ it was in mint condition like no one used it (except like a couple scratches) the battery works perfect no issues found so far
Ill sell you mine for $75 plus shipping. Brand new in the box. Never used it. Bought them both at the same time. I got it out to attach it and play with it, and put it back in the box.
PM me if interested.

Update:
I ended up getting the dock from Best Buy and I was impressed at how well they packaged it. I've been messing with it for a couple of days and so far, so good.

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.

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

(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?

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 want to buy one cheap. Preferably new. And I was wondering, would there be a way to put a portal on my phone to have windows xp or something on the lapdock?
Thanks.
Im From Canada btw.
you should do a little research about what Webtop is. you have the wrong idea.
You cant put windows on your phone directly. If you get a laptop dock you can use logmein to log into a windows computer and it's as if you have windows on your phone. Good luck.
thank you. All i need is to find the cheapest price. Lowest i found was $190 which is still expensive
Well, I just bought a brand new one (It was $10 more than a refurbished) For $129.99 + S&H ($6 off and $33 Shipping)
Was this a good buy you think?

I'm very interested in purchasing a laptop dock for <$100 even if it's a refurb! Where did you get it for $60??
i got mine for $90. it was posted in here a few months ago, but at&t had it online brand new for $50. by the time i got to it, it was sold out, i found it at a retail at&t and they had it for $100 they couldn't price match the onlince price because item was taken down since it was sold out. the rep was nice and gave me 10% off though : )
im pretty sure all at&t stores will have it brand new for $100 if they still have any in stock
I payed $330 for a new one from amazon a year ago. Quit your whining about the price
I've used that laptop dock for 2 days.
Don't really liked it, maybe cuz I was with default android...
The lapdock is like a small netbook. If you would have a use for that, you will use it and like it.
with current tools like webtop2sd and webtop scripts, you can literally install whatever you want on your webtop. Open Office for prod and Samba 4 to mount windows file shares etc.
I think it's pretty amazing for something you can buy at less than $200.
Hey guys, I saw this posted over on SlickDeals and didn't see it posted on XDA. Figured I'd post it here in case anyone is interested.
Buy.com has the 16GB Flyer for $199.99 with free shipping. It is a refurbished unit, so hopefully everything works properly. I'm not sure about international shipping charges, I imagine it is only free to the US (could be wrong though).
I jumped on the View 4G sale a month ago for $230~ so this seems like a pretty good deal. Maybe we'll see a surge in the forums with these recent firesales.
I'm really considering getting one. Not really sure how long the sale is for. I might return my galaxy tab 7 plus and pick this baby up. I am just worried we won't get ICS for it.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using Tapatalk
I got one
I bought one of these yesterday at 6pm, paid for 2 day shipping and it arrived today at 2pm - 20 hours!!!
It looks great, like I just took it out of the original wrapper. I tried it for a few minutes, then upgraded (I guess that's debatable) to honeycomb. It's leedroid version, so I suppose it should be pretty good.
Now this is the first thread I read in the general section... what ever happened to the days when I would read for days on how to root a new system
I ordered one also. Should be here today with the "cheap" shipping option. Glad to hear the refurbished ones look like new.
So I've been thinking of buying one, do you guys think it's worth it or wait for the Asus 7" tab to come out?
Sent from my GT-P7510
Never know when the Asus tab will come out.
If you want something now, grab this. I played with the wimax version of the flyer in the sprint store, it's really nice.
I'm not banking on the flyer/view getting ICS at all though. I'm just going to use it for what it is.
Will the Asus Tab have an active digitizer? I have read conflicting versions about this.
$10 off Coupon for flyer buy.com purchase!
All, here's a $10 off coupon to use towards that flyer purchase, if you're new to buy.com. it's valid til 3.31.12: http://www.dealigg.com/out.php?id=33516

I've never heard mention of an active digitizer for the asus tablet. There's really not enough solid information out there.
Purchased $199 Flyer Arrived Today - NO PEN
Did you all get the pen that comes with the tablet from buy.com? Mine did not and I wanted to check to see if it was not included or just missing?! Thanks
I also picked one up for 189. I really hope to get some use out of this at work. I want to replace a ton of paper I generate travelling around from mtg to mtg. I really don't understand why there aren't more pen based tablets out there. If this doesn't work, for 189, I'll just give it to one of my kids to draw on /watch videos.
Based on slick deals advice I got a pen at b&h for $30 shipped. Its a one button model (I have ho idea what that means yet) arrived in a day. Item number FUFPCPN36AP

Nah, it's supply and demand. Price went up because people were probably ordering it a lot.

I almost freaked out when it shot up to $229 on the 16th but then I checked about 3 hours later and it was back to $199. Ordered it immediately after, just in case. Wondered if there was a glitch on their site.

They should have been readily available in your local stores since January, but for some reason Asus have been only producing a few here and there so your best bet is online here is a link you can go to what online store has the prime available at the moment:
http://www.nowinstock.net/computers/tablets/asus/transformerprime/
Remember always verify first about their return window, so incase you buy a substandard prime you can easily get an exchange or get your money back with ease.
check Gamestop stores. the ones that carry tablets. I know the brick n mortar store in my area has them in stock now. I called the other day looking for a keyboard dock. they said no docks but plenty of the actual tablet.
The nowinstock link will def. help you find one, that's how I got mines
I got mine at a local Best Buy. Every local store - of every possible chain - reported them as out of stock when I checked online. I listened to some advice my wife gave me....i called and checked. I was lucky enough to get them to hold the last one they had in stock for me.
Just got about 1000 in Dixon's Retail in the UK. Only the second delivery since launch. I think they are slowly coming out.
Amazon.com
I had the same problem but wasn't going to spend almost $100 extra by going through amazon. I waited for the price to go back to retail for over a month but no dice. Finally I checked out an old faithful; Newegg had mine to me (Tallahassee, Florida) in a couple days. No tax. Perfect Prime. Amazon was great for my accessories.

I got mine from Amazon for 500. You finding them for 400?
I got mine from a best buy mobile
I got mine from Amazon, but have seen them on display at my local Staples. not sure if they actually had any in stock though.
Just ordered mine from gamestop online - they have them in stock
Best Buy was my retailer of choice because I had a faulty Xoom still under their extended warranty. I had a couple months till expiration so I waited, hoping Asus' production would mature and supply increase, which didn't really happen as well as I expected.
If you choose Best Buy, use their app too. Search at least daily for TF201 and then click to show the locations they have it in stock. That and nowinstock.net worked for me. Call BB to verify they actually have it and reserve it if they do.

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!

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.
