Got it for about $175, the box is opened but the device is still new. Would you guys consider this a good deal? I already have a Kindle Fire so I don't really need a tablet but the size is really what interests me. I'm excited to finally get my hands on a touchpad though, it's going to be like Christmas all over again.
As long as you put cm7 / cm9 on it, yea totally.

same as you, coming from a nook color. TBH, I hardly ever used the nook, but I love my touchpad. The screen size is so much better for pretty much everything.
Love mine too. WebOs just works and Android is pretty cool. Drop another couple bucks and score the Touchstone charger.
Did you get the 16GB or the 32GB version? If you got the 32 then $175 is a great deal. If you got the 16GB version then thats about the right price. As far as it being a good Tablet, its awesome. For one, as I'm sure you know, it can dual boot Android and webOS. webOS itself is awesome but the app catalog doesnt compare to the Play Store. You will be happy with it I'm sure.
Just scored one for 150. I woulda payed 175 tho

I paid 220 for my 32 gig + a nice poetic leather case and charger.
You got a pretty good deal. Just be sure to put cm9 on it asap!
That's a pretty good deal for a TP.
It was a 16gb tablet. It's going to have to go back though since it was described to be new but turns out it had been used before.

Didn't mean to thank you but i can't unthank on mobile so keep it. Not really, theres a small chip on the corner and the mic echoes during Bluetooth calls but it's annoying having bought a product that should be new be actually used. Purple should know better than to falsely advertise something.

rather than going thru all that, why not just have him refund you like $30 or something for it being used.
You're going to go thru all the trouble of returning for a refund and getting another one and there's nothing really wrong with it.
Was trying to do get a partial back but they were offering way too low for me. But they just sent another offer after I escalated with Ebay. Well take the amount and keep the touchpad. Can't wait to get Android on this once it's officially been cleared up.

Unless CM9 lets his battery die. Then he will have no choice but to put down the big paperweight it turned it into.

Any other Evo 3d users get a touchpad apparently most of teamwin bought one, and now myn was given one to dev in! and maybe even -viperboy-

I got one. I hadn't heard about all of those devs getting them tho.....that's awesome. I hope we can get some real mods happening on webOS now. I'm hoping viperboy is still going to get a Transformer tho, then he will be deving on all 3 of my devices.
I'm also hoping google is looking into buying webOS. Could you imagine how sick it would be to have cards and widgets on the same homescreens? Also to have the functionality of Android with the sleekness and eye candy of webOS.

That would be awesome but I'm sure if google buys them they wouldn't support webos just integrate it to android and I'm sure the android devs who bought it so they can dev for it once android gets ported to it i doubt they will dev for webos.

Don't flame me... I actually have a valid point (to me anyway) for asking this.
The reason I am asking is because I'm pretty sure I am going to be getting one so I am curious as to which developers from the 3D will be getting one. I think the developers we have here are some of the best around and it would be awesome if some of the devs around here are getting it. I would hope that the dev community on the first quad core tablet would be awesome but ya never know.

this... tablets are the ****.. i got a touchpad...
i heard many bad things about the Prime... check over in the forum... bunch of hardware/software problems i would love to buy one but it took me 5 different evo 3d's before i found one that i could live with and it has a dead pixel
i cant wait till development starts pushing out ICS roms in the touchpad forum rather than Gingerbread.... but then again... its only 3 people that i know of doing any development for the touchpad
No. I bought into the hype of the original Transformer, and returned it right at my 14-day mark. The TouchPad suits me just fine. For the price I paid, it's an unbeatable deal.
I was going to get a Prime until I heard about all the problems. In the meantime I have a piece of crap Streak 7 to tide me over. I decided my next tablet is going to have true stylus support (like the Note/Flyer types, only 7-10" with at least a dual-core processor). That is partly because I do write out notes every day in my line of work. Probably 7" would be best so I could hold it in one hand while writing with the other...but I digress...
I have the prime and I can say it is easily the best tablet on the market
I already have mine with no issues at all. Viperboy already has a root/unroot tool available, but ICS is coming on the 12th anyways. The tablet has great battery life and is unbelievably smooth in just about everything it does.

A buddy of mine has one also. I have played with it and the thing is badass! I think the only way I wont get a Prime is if HTC or someone comes out with a S4 tablet in the same price range. The qualcomm chip is freaking amazing!

I have an acer iconia a500 tablet. I do like it, don't get me wrong. But It's not worth more than the $300 we bought it for. It's just a gadget, plain and simple. If your going to drop $500, $600 you might as well get a laptop, but that of course is just my opinion.
I've got my Prime coming on Monday. Can't wait!
i'll be getting one as soon as i can. finally get to upgrade from my ipad (so laggy, so, so, laggy)

Sad to see you leave, I recently sold my A100 because of using the Touchpad so much much more!
I'll be getting a Nexus 7 soon but, I'll be keeping my Touchpad , I only paid £150 for it so, if I end up letting it gather dust then the missus can have it ha ha

well i got the same price what i paid for ...so no profit...but more importantly didn't make a loss
Adios.
I have my TouchPad dual booting webOS and CM9. Oddly enough, I find myself using webOS almost exclusively. I think it's because of the weird aspect ratio of the display. webOS looks great, but very few ICS tablet apps look right.
I hope to eventually pick up something like an Acer Iconia Tab A700, but even then I'll keep the TouchPad around for my kids.

For what it's worth, I find it really comfortable to hold. I have average-sized hands and, admittedly, not the strongest wrists. I don't find it too heavy at all--marginally lighter than the iPad (3rd Gen) that I used to own. Fits in my hand nicely, and the tacky rubber housing helps. This is for both portrait and landscape.
It does look humongous in portrait mode, though, but easy to hold nonetheless.
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback. I probably would have grabbed the 16gb and smooth talked my girl, but $499+ right now... Probably wouldn't have gone over so well. My Big concern is will I use the damn thing? I just want one so damn bad though!!

as RQUIETT stated, yes this phone has its ups and downs as they all do.
I got my Infuse for 1 penny as a refurb and never had issue one with it. after Thanksgiving, I got my Note and 2 S3's for under $100, also refurbs.
well worth the money.
between contracts, data plans and need accessories and their availability, that's up to you. in my opinion, XDA is the one that keeps us current and keeps our Notes looking and feeling new and up to date
With the latest JB update, the phone is alot zippier. The hardware is still nowhere near the new phones, but it is more than enough for regular/daily use. And as mentioned before, there will be new updated ROMs to keep this phone going.
It sounds like OP is fine with the screen size, so if the price is reasonable (considering how old this phone is), I would recommend it.
Just note that the resale value might drop alot once the new Note 3 comes out later this year.
Ok thanks guys. I found it used. A family member will sell it to me for $150 and the note has no screen scratches and light scratches on the body. What do you guys think? Is it at a good price?
