Just ordered my a Flyer from bestbuy.com for $99
I had to use their mobile site, but it worked.
here is a picture =-)
ok, first upload failed, here is the pic.
Nice discount , but currently sold out online http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HTC+-+F...hite/2390524.p?skuId=2390524&id=1218332598563
funny, seeing it for $300 made me happy, $100 makes me mad. Feel pretty ripped off now for paying the original!
Oh wow!
Very glad I bought mine when I did. As any chances they're gonna bring it back?
I ordered mine as an in store pick up option. Any chances they will do a price adjustment if I go to pick it up today?

There website says they will give you the lower price.
I purchased 3 of these with pens over the weekend (for me and the kids). Called best buy this morning to ask about the price match guarantee. Apparently, the refund amt was too much for the CS rep to authorize, but she says someone will call me today or tomorrow to verify that I will get the refund. Whoo Hoo! Hopefully, that will be about $720 refund on the 3 tablets and pens!
Mobile site won't let me do store pickup either. Going to my local BB at 10:00 when the open. Worth a shot.
They open up at 9 a.m. here. Still trying to figure out why I need one. LoL Maybe I'll use it to control my HTPC using XBMC. :-D
Going to my local BB in a half an hour, also. Might pick up two!

I'm on hold with the rep myself to ask about the price adjustment.
If I can get this for $100, this will perhaps be the greatest deal I've made this whole year, lol.
But that would be really awesome for you! Getting $600 off on your tablets. 3 tabs for $100 is amazing.
I called and talked to them today after seeing this thread. I purchased mine on Saturday. I used my Best Buy CC with the 18 month financing, so my concern is that the won't do the match because of that. I saw something on their site about it. But the guy on the phone said he "personally couldn't approve it, and was forwarding it to the credit department". I should have an answer via email in the next 10 minutes.
I'm hoping that it goes through. I'll update.
They just posted on the door that regular price is $299 and that it was an error for $99 they will not honor the price.

That's strange.
I just got off the phone with a customer rep and she told me that my price was adjusted to $100 and the $200 refund should be reflected in my next bill.
That's just messed up.

Here's the info on the oops!
Sold out online, sold out within a 50 mile radius of Orlando...... this is HUGE, can't wait for them to get more in stock online or in store so I can get two to use as media devices around the house!
Just got back from Bestbuy. It was a pricing error. There was a short line when I got there waiting to get in. At least 4 people walked in and out within 2 minutes after being informed that they are NOT getting the flyer for $99. Oh well. :-/
It was an OOPS, saw the notice with my own eyes...
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.

A bit of humour does not really hurt (it was a pun on another thread) but would have been better IN that thread...
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.
Figure I could help some potential buyers out.
After reading on this forum that Target Mobile had the Galaxy S2 for $99 I decided to go to the store last night and check it out. Sure enough, they are $99. The saleswoman then asks what kind of phone i currently have/whether i am eligible for upgrade/etc.
I tell her that yes i'm eligible and I have a Captivate. She says "cool you should be able to get $95 on a trade-in"...
me: "uhh, really?" At this point I don't really believe her at all as I've never heard of such a thing with these phones and even if they do trade in i have no reason to believe they'd give me $95 for a used ~1.5 year old phone.
So she says "let me check it out on the CPU". She plugs in the info, comes back, and says "yep, you can get $95 for your captivate, and get the galaxy s2 for $5+tax.
My jaw probably hit the floor, after picking it up I ask her to show me the dotted line and I'm in.
So...for all you cappy owners, hit up Target Mobile!
Was you're captivate rooted or romed?
Thats... unbelievable. Im going to go try this out...
Thanks for sharing your awesome experience!
Edit: Target website is still showing the GS2 as $199. I also called a few local stores here in California and they all confirmed that the device is $199. Where did you see that Target was dropping the price to $99?
Or you could sell it for $200+ on craigslist

i guess this really depends on the area. I'm trying to sell mine on craigslist and no one is even biting (and I'm selling it for less than $200)
I bought mine from Walmart last Friday. I always buy my phones from Walmart since I get alot free gift cards BC of my job.
I only came $2.69 out of pocket.

Hey Red5, I don't remember which thread I was in...but i was lurking a bit last week trying to make a decision on a phone and i saw someone posted that Target Mobile had the SGII this week only for $99.
I walked into the store last night and they had a price tag of $99...

Stole it. Unfortunately a five dollar bill fell out of my pocket while I was running.

You forgot to include how much your bail-bond was.
Trade-In
I sold my cappy on eBay about 6 months ago for $250.
Right now they are selling em for about $200 bucks.
If your cappy is in like new condition with retail box,
no cracks, chips, scratches and all accessories which
it came with, you can get an easy $200-$225 bucks
even now on eBay.
So $95 bucks trade in is not a good deal at all unless there
is something wrong with phone.
hmm interesting. Mine had quite a few chips on the back. It was laggy as hell and was rooted so i'll take $95.
In store only man. Online is the full $199.99.
Edit: Target deal.

I just sold my Captivate for $250 using craigslist in the Denver area. Granted it was unlocked and included an extra battery, but it was still a great transaction.

I sold my captivate for 200 also. Targets are now buying your old phones. obviously at a lower price but the thing is whether or not you want to deal with trying to sell it on eBay or Craigslist. Then you have to ship it or meet the person. It can become a hassle. I would of done the same thing knowing I could get a gs2 for 5 bucks right then and now. Not having to deal with or waiting for someone to buy my old phone. Great job in getting the phone for 5 bucks.

Ebayed my old N1 for $200, got back $165 after fees and shipping. Bought the GS2 from Target for $150, paid $162 after taxes.

Hhgreggs website has primes going for 399 ,today along with a 50 off promo.
Here's the link as this is guaranteed to sell out in minutes. People better hop on this fast!
http://www.hhgregg.com/asus-32gb-10...e-android-3-2-honeycomb-tablet/item/TF201B1GR
If you order one, hit the thanks ..lol
Picked one up last night. Had a $50 gift certificate and 12 month zero percent. Total came to be 377.00 I didn't think it was bad at all.
Ouch. I paid $100 more only a couple weeks ago.
Awesome deal if you get a good one.
I got one, I couldn't find the $50 off promo, but I got all the way through checkout and got in store pickup with my total at $399. I will be returning my "serial number unknown" POS to Best Buy and making sure the new one at HH Greg is defect free. How do you get the $50 off?

So did everyone. I haven't seen any place selling for less than $499.
Has anyone bought from this website before. I just saw very bad reviews http://www.resellerratings.com/store/HHGregg
The 50$ off appears to exclude tablets.
The promo code is "50OFF" but when I apply it to my order, it doesn't do anything. Their home page has details about items that are excluded from the coupons.
Good price, but the $50 dollars off coupon is ineligible for this item.

We have a ton of HH Gregs here in TN, and I have never had a problem with them. I worked at Best Buy for quite awhile, so I didn't do a lot of shopping there, but my family has done quite a bit and never said anything bad.
And mine from Best Buy arrives today.
Great.

I looked into them as well and noticed they have a 20% restocking fee:
If the item is returned within thirty (30) days of the purchase date but any of the above conditions are not met, a minimum restocking charge of 20% of the purchase price will be deducted prior to the refund unless prohibited by law. Any product that was purchased when a mail in rebate was available on the purchase is subject to having the amount of the rebate deducted from the refund amount. Any product that is returned without a promotional item included with the original purchase will have the value of the promotional item deducted from the refund amount.
Given the potential risk of getting a defective unit, I wonder if it's worth buying from them.
Amazing, thanks for posting this! I'll be picking mine up tonight and returning my defective unit to officedepot.
Any chance this is a bad sign its already on sale?
I've seen a lot of sites sold out of the prime (obviously) but maybe Asus is about to release a fixed model and the retailer is getting rid of the broken ones...just a thought
fee shouldn't apply if it's defective from the wording. Who knows how much they argue that. On same site that hhgregg has 1 start, best buy does too(resellerratings). Sitting at checkout thinking about this, I decided to pass on the prime after my J and R no ship fiasco but the price drop is tempting...
