Yeah, I already ordered one!
Nice find, trying to see if i can pull enough together for one. Having 2 TP's would be nice.
Got Mine....!
Just snagged mine
hrm
i actually came here to ask if it was worth getting one of these things..
Does its internals still hold up to try out more recent apps/games?
Thanks!
Just wooted myself one. Had the 16GB model since the first day of the fire sale. But really wanted a 32GB for the luxury of the extra space and to dual boot ICS.
Excited!
Bought one last week and I've almost chewed off all my fingernails waiting for it in the mail.

I second this concern. I am torn as well. Considering a used one for around $200 (since I missed out on this woot deal), but do they still hold up to current offerings? I am thinking mostly performance and screen quality.

I don't understand your question. What do you mean by "current offerings"? But I'll say this, there isn't a pad out there in the $200 price range that comes anywhere near the Touchpad's performance.

How about $250-300 used? LOL Keep in mind I'd be getting the TouchPad for $200 used too. By the way, I was very partial to webOS (I own both a Sprint Pre and an AT&T Pre+), but I gave up on it (can't blame me; Palm, HP, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon all did too). If I get a TouchPad is to have Android on it (or at least dual boot). Is it a worthy Android tablet, with a screen that can compare to IPS+ or Super AMOLED and performance that's at least close to that of an ASUS Transformer or at least Samsung Galaxy Tab?

I picked up 3 TouchPads last month & sold all 3 for $250 a pop within days. In hindsight, I probably could have raised the price to $275 and still sold all 3.
I am in absolute love with my TouchPad iwth CM9.

If you don't mind my asking, how much did you pay for them? New, used, refurbished? Where did you buy them? If I decide to get one, should I buy one off craigslist (which I have no problem with, since that's how I buy most of my phones). This person is selling me a 16GB (I don't care for storage size on a tablet) in mint condition with box and accessories for $200. Or are good deals like the woot one coming out regularly and I should just wait for now?
I bought 3 32GBs at BestBuy for $150 each. Stock magically appeared in many BBs a couple months ago, I picked up a couple.
I sold all 3, new in box for $250. I've seen refurb deals for 32GB for around $200 a couple times in the last month.
One of the TPs I sold on e-bay for $250, but it was DOA when he unboxed it. I sent it back in for warranty and re-sold it for $225 when I got it back.
Who knows when the refurb stock will die and TPs will disappear from the general market.
If it were me, I'd probably wait to see if I could score a 32GB for around $200 or 16GB for 150-175.
Have you checked E-Bay?
Good luck!

Sounds like you made some easy money!
eBay: 16GB refurbished for $199 + free shipping
eBay: 32GB refurbished for $228 + free shipping
Yes, yes it was. My golf budget for the summer =]
I did have to pay e-bay seller fees twice & return shipping on a damaged item from my buyer. But still, it was easy money. I did load CM9 on two of the pads

I know this isn't the thread for it, but is any functionality missing from CM9? I remember when CM7 first came to the TouchPad and a bunch of things still weren't working.
Think those eBay deals above are good?
WiFi drivers that were just released are pretty darn solid. (although I've personally never had much of a problem with Wifi).
The camera/MIC don't work yet (I could care less since I have a CM9'd Epic 4g).
Mmmm...some people have problems with sound distortion when the screen is off but only on the external speakers. I have sound problems, but I'm 95% certain it's b/c of my kids dropping it.
Ever since CM9 was released, I've used my TouchPad almost every day. I use my laptop & phone a LOT less when I'm at home now.

These do worry me. How is the CM9 development for the TouchPad? Is it active with changing downloadable nightlies or do you see a version every 2-3 weeks? I'm wondering if these problems will get solved.
Another question... Do you ever really use webOS?
I haven't booted WebOS since the day I installed CM9.
There are two sources of nightlies. The dev community is alive and well. Not a ton of players, but we have solid devs.

I am selling my gtab because I ran into some money issue. I love this thing but i have to let go. If you interested please pm me.
Condition: perfect. No scratches
I don't have the original box but I have everything else that came with it.
I am also including the 4gb sd card class 6.
I rooted the tab and its running cm7. it runs perfectly.
Please let me know.
I would only accept PayPal payment.
US only.
Thanks
Not sure if this the right place for such thread.
But any way to but things in prespective, the gtab is currently regularly priced @ $329 (shipped, no taxes, brand new, 12 months waranty) @ buy.com.
And if I am to sell my gtab now, I would wait untill all the debate about NVIDIA dropping support for Harmony Tegra2 (i.e. gtab) past Foryo get resolved, unless you are willing to seriously mark it down.
Best of luck,

I didn't know buy.com was selling it for 329. I should bring the price down to $300. Free shipping.
Well I need the money. So that's why I am selling the tab.
Thanks for the info.
Most places are selling the G-Tab for $299. The max price for a used (or even open-box) should be $250.
I know there's no way I'd buy a used one for the same price I can get a brand spankin, untouched new one.
Yea. True that. I should have posted the thread after looking up the average price for the tab. Thanks for the suggestion. I am hoping to find a buyer.
Amazon has them for $279 new . ( Woot is the Amazon seller) Seems that the woot auction caused a real domino effect for this tablet price wise. They are $299 at Circut City .they been going for $250 ish on Ebay now. 2 weeks ago they were $350.

I don't know what your situation is but seeing how new gTabs are being sold now for an average of $279 you may just need to suck it up and drop your price to be competitive. With the current market conditions you may find it a lot easier to unload yours for around $225.
Just something to think about.
http://www.androidcentral.com/best-...99-starting-oct-1-things-just-got-interesting
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.

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)

I picked up a flyer yesterday before reading this post, I will be re-visiting my local BB today to recover some $$

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.

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!.

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.

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.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
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 $299 price wasn't just to sell off what was left. I redeemed some CC points for a bestbuy gift card with the intention of buying one, I just hope by the time they get here I can find one...
Even with the Asus TF Prime released and shipping, I still have my heart set on the GTab 10.1. My only concern is the similar price tag for two products released nearly half a year apart.
Do you guys think the price for the GTab will drop now that the Prime is the best android tablet out there (at least spec-wise) or is it just a waste of time and I should get it now?
I know there is no way to know for sure but I would like the hear your opinions.
Thanks
Read in a thread that Walmart is selling wifi 16gb for 349$ in US. Try for such offers
I got mine from Walmart for $349--but only because they substituted it for the Acer Iconia they had advertised. I got the only one my local store had.
I think you answered your own question (as it gets older and newer gear comes out the price will go down), but I'd say since Samsung is taking a page from the Apple playbook and not discounting old hardware until newer hardware is available, I think that the MSRP will not change.
That said, some retailers may discount it. Amazon has already dropped the price to $450, and I think it won't be long before others drop it to $400. If the $50 is worth it, wait 2 months. If not, get your tablet now and join the fun! BTW- make sure you get a warranty unless you're getting a really good deal. Sometimes people think they've done well by saving $50 with a craigslist deal...
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.

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
