I was wondering if some of you long time flyer users could help me make an informed purchasing decision. I have 2 options.
1) HTC flyer Wifi for 60$ in mint condition
2) manufacturer refurbished hisense sero 7 pro for 85$
I just need something to watch some Netflix, maybe take some notes for school, and browse the Internet. I haven't had a flyer in about a year so I'm not sure how well its aged. Any suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Ryan

The sero 7 pro is an excellent tablet, especially at that price. If I remember correctly the flyer has a single core, while the sero has a quad core. I never had the flyer, but I'm using the sero right now, and it is excellent, and it does Netflix perfectly. However I have read that some people have had issues with the HDMI on their seros, which may be a concern if Netflix is your primary use. Even with the potential HDMI issue, I highly recommend the sero.

Awesome thanks for the help man, I'll get the sero for sure.

Xoom Family on sale @ Bestbuy I think its $349
I'd love to get a tablet with Qualcomm's new chips more than anything. Likely holding out here till next yr and get one with it and enjoy lte modem built on the die of the chip and great battery life savings because of such.
If I had to get one now it'd be the prime more likely if cost didn't matter.
Though if cost didn't matter id shell out for Qualcomm's developer tablet that's supposed to.be available in the early spring finally.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and a Motorola Xoom
Both very very similar though i must say I like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 more. The Xoom just cam down in price since the Xoom 2 is about to be releases, so maybe u can get a bargain...
If $ is not an issue, prime. I got my wife a kindle fire and for a basic tab it's great for $199

I know this gets said often, but I would wait until March/April if you can. The main reason is that the iPad 3 should be released and there will probably be a few quad-core Android tablets. So even if you would be happy with a Tegra 2 tablet, those devices will drive the price down on the older models. However, if you don't care and you just want something NOW, then I would get the Prime. Biggest bang for the buck in that it costs $100 less than a comparable iPad 2 and most of the other Tegra 2 tablets out there. (I always laugh when people say it costs the same, but they compare a 32gb Prime against a 16gb whatever)
That's the tablet I'm buying, i can't wait to have my prime

Well, if you want the 7" form factor with stylus support, a Flyer at $299 isn't half bad. From what I understand the handwriting recognition is better than the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet which is more expensive and there aren't really many other games in town to support a stylus like that. So....sure, it's a valid recommendation for a specific audience.
Lately I have seen the Flyer going from $220-$250 at a lot of these Deal A Day/Slickdeal type of sites. Ebay even had a daily special last week for that price, for the Sprint Evo Tablet, no contract required.
Flyer - great for people that take lots of notes ( students?)
Xoom - This is what I have and i haven't had any issues with it. Just that its a bit on the heavy side
Galaxy Tab - Pretty much same as the xoom just that it doesn't have an expansion slot and its much lighter in weight
Prime - This thing is a beast!!
Im biased but for the price and spec's you can't beat the HP Touchpad.
Android or Webos, whichever one you want to run, plus top of the line specs for a dual core tablet. I love it.
Just get this

Have you looked at viewsonic gtablet? There are a lot of different roms for that once you have it rooted.
7 " size - Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
1.Stock recovery is fully open and ready to flash out of the box
2.Fits in my pocket
3.IR Transmitter so you can use it as a remote control
4.Fast
10" size - Asus Transformer Prime
1.Best specs of any tablet right now
2.Convertible
3.Asus says they are committed to unlocking the bootloader
4.Fast
Good luck.
The original transformer is a good buy for the price and features you are looking for.
Asus announced a Tegra 3 7" today for 250. Seems oki paper.

I am on the fence about the Transformer. Someone I know has the original in great condition for only $300. I'm sure he is going to use the money to get the Prime. I'm wondering if its a good buy at this point or should I spend the extra two bills and get the Prime myself.
Any suggestions??
Good point
i have a HTC flyer and I'm very happy with it.

GSM or LTE?
I dunno...something seems odd. I have both and I use each for different reasons. I'd keep the prime and wait for my contract to run out and get a next phone with the renewal dicount.
PS - Galaxy Nexus is now $100 with new contract.
No I have GummyNex and they want to trade their TFP to me.. I'm tempted I just don't know if its worth it.

The galaxy nexus costs more at full price... so it actually does make sense. /fail
who cares about the cost that's not the point his statement is perfectly valid. There's many things that cost less then other products but still out do them. Plus I'm pretty sure the cost of making a prime is more then making a Gn. Retail is just different for both

I can get the galaxy nexus, brand new and sim free for £350 (from a high street shop) you wont find a transformer prime for that. Id swap in an instant if i had nexus
Sorry, it'll take more then a Nexus phone to get me to give up my Prime.

i have both and honestly if i had to choose one to keep it would be my nexus, it's FASTlike faster than my prime, including most web browsing, using same browser both with adaway but i still prefer the larger screen of the prime, the camera on the nexus out preforms my primes camera in most situations surprisingly, also the nexus is more expensive unlocked at least in the US, especially if you get the GSM version like i did, luckily i got it for about $150 from dailysteals. So i completely understand why the OP would want to get rid of his nexus for a prime but at the same time i would keep my nexus.
I would say speeds are comparable however in gaming the prime blows past nexus

I'm talking about value. Not price. There is a reason I didn't put the costs there. Plus, it is hard to get a good unit so do you really want to trade and buy another and end up with a wifi borked unit? Suckit.jpg

Hello,
Simply put, I'm no longer interested in having my nook tablet. It's a wonderful device, but it is of little use to me.
So I'm selling it at a greatly reduced price. I have the 16GB version, and I purchased it in April. I'm hoping to get $170 for it. If you're interested let me know, and I can provide proof that it is currently fully functioning, etc. It is currently running CM7.

You're probably better off in the Marketplace forum for this. Good luck selling your NT!
I'm probably selling mine as well, though I'll still be following the Nook Tablet as my gf wants to keep hers.
I just replaced my Sprint Motorola Photon with a Galaxy Nexus and will possibly grab a Nexus 7 when they're released. Only Nexus/GE devices for me in the future. The NT was a fun challenge but Nexus devices are where its at.
I'll buy one but for $100. The 16gg sells brand new for $189

Most have been going for $150-175, more with accessories of course.
Better sell fast. After nexus 7 will flood market. Price will be max $70.

For sure. Honestly, if I were selling mine, I wouldn't hold my breath hoping for more than $50. But since the Nexus lacks microSD, I'll stick with the latest releases of CM.

You guys need to remember one other thing: availability.
The Nexus 7 won't be available everywhere right away and more specifically, its cloud services (google music/movies/tv). I know a lot of people purchase kindle fires/nook tablets via ebay with the sole purpose of rooting and throwing on a custom rom or at least the play store so that they can have a "tablet experience."
The nook color was extremely popular for this last year.
My bad its $199 @Walmart.

Should have waited to see if there is a 3g version this tuesday when google i/o is occurs.
does yours reboot?
I got my mom a Galaxy Tab 2 and myself a Nexus 10 at the same time yesterday. My mom likes Samsung devices and is familiar with TouchWiz, so I'm sure she will love it. About the most she will do with the thing is watch Netflix, check email, and watch cat videos anyway. I probably could have gotten her a $150 Coby tablet and she would have been just as pleased.
On the other hand, my Nexus 10 is already running AOKP (for now) and I'm really digging it so far. Fast and smooth, feels great in hand, and the display is absolutely incredible. To me, that's worth the price of admission right there. Unfortunately it lacks the super deep blacks of Samsungs Super AMOLED displays, but the resolution makes up for any shortcomings due to black levels.
I think the Nexus 10 is the best ten inch tablet currently available.

Don't forget that's not some peoples thing (I can easily use my phone as a free hotspot with 4G speeds) plus there is also no guarantee that they will be launching a device with said capabilities.
Of course I do unterstand that some people do very much require their tablets to have 3G, just throwing my .02 in.
