hello All,
I have Purchased z ultra @43000 in India before 7 months. right now this price is reduced and it only 18500/- only.
so, what you guys say about that.

I can say that it is much cheaper now, than before...
I say I like it, and bought it at 18670..
from your POV though, it sucks, right?
I say I bought it at ~700 euros (~49K rupees), with the SmartWatch 2 included, and I thought it was the right price for the whole package.
I tell you more, I would have done it without the bonus of the watch as well.
Today is all about upgrades, you can't buy a phone/tablet/tv/pc/laptop and expect the company you bought it from to stick its head under the sand and wait for you to have the need for another device to upgrade its line of products.
I bought it on day one, for a premium price, for what I thought (and it was, and it still is) was a premium device.
I was OK with the price then, and it served me perfectly for this year or so.
Now it's 250 euros, so what?
Go buy a BMW M5 for 100K and resell it the year after, you'll see like half of your cash go down the toilet...
Bottom line, if Sony pleases us with another Ultra, I'll go with it.
If not, I may but another one for the price of a coffee just to keep a spare one.

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)
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.

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!.

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...
I did. Couldn't put up with "backorder for 30 days" email from best buy on my 11/30 preorder. Paid $759 plus $14 plus overnight shipping. Got UPS confirmation that it will be delivered before 3 tomorrow. No regrets, yet.

Someone in my city is selling one on craigslist
Ordered a 64Gb from B&H and they don't know ****, and after the rumors of delay to Q2 and that Amazon will ship Jan 25 - Feb and that the launch in Sweden is also late Jan/Feb. I decided to buy from Ebay. but the thing that really triggered was what B&H wrote on facebook
" B&H Photo Video Pro Audio*Jeffrey Galles*- I think we got champagne today. In all honesty I didn't know there were two colors until a little while ago."
They don't even know what they are selling and have available for preorder on there site, First and last time I will have anything with B&H to do.
The one from Ebay is over priced but what is there to do when I don't want to wait like 1 to 2 months and by that time the Prime is "old" and there will be other products to look at.

I don't know... if you have the money, then sure, you one-percenters can do whatever the hell you want.
But, in the grand scheme of things, you'll only be using this a week or so (I seriously doubt it'll take another month) early so was it worth it? I mean, you can basically do everything on a computer. Tablets are not needed -- they're awesome to use but they don't do much in terms of productivity (especially when compared to laptops/pcs).
Also, by buying off the guys on eBay, you are perpetuating the reselling process. Do you know a big reason you didn't get your pre-order? Because some **** bought 10 of these first and resold them on eBay. Guys like these really serve no economic value. (retailers provide distribution channels and outlets, what do resellers do?)

1%? I think there are quite a few people in the 99% that can afford to pay a couple extra hundred dollars more for a tablet.
ebay is too risky.
Easy to get scammed by someone trying to capitalized on the shortage supply and high demand.
It's not worth it, I can wait a little longer till local retails began getting supplies in after x-mas.

eBay is why pre-ordering sucks. Douchbags waste inventory which ruins it for the rest of us. Really pre-orders should come with a 6 month no-resale clause with head-crushing as punishment.

You can tell your "Occupy XDA" story walking pal. A week? I'm on backorder with BB for 30 days and nobody knows what the real story is. Hell, I had a Gamestop manager tell me he overheard a conference call he wasn't supposed to be privy to and that he heard that there were only 1000 tablets shipped to the U.S. and that Gamestop got 600 of those. If tablets are not needed then why are you trolling this forum and dropping your mighty wisdom? The reason I didn't get my preorder has nothing to do with someone buying in bulk, it's because BB and the other companies got duped by ASUS just like last year. People pay for goods based on the value they perceive that said goods provide to them personally. If an individual made $250 or so off me then good, eliminating the frustration and time I put into this debacle is worth it to me.
Ebay is showing three (or so) 64GB primes. If they are truly 64GB primes, that is encouraging that they have made at least one run. Don't know why they are not available yet for sale though.

Too risky. There is a good chance the ones on eBay are from the bad wifi batch. And I saw one seller with a description that said he got several from Bestbuy.com yet he also copy and pasted the list of free games from Gamestop, including the part that says "Purchase a New Android(TM) Tablet Customized by GameStop and get free digital games!" So I wouldn't believe anything he says

Is it a good deal? That depends on a lot of things. A lot of people seem to have a lot of complaints about this device. I won't go into detail because you can browse this forum and find them. In my case I don't have any real problems. This may be because I just don't use it in the same way as others do so I don't notice. I also have a later production unit. From what I've read, you can tell by the serial number. The oldest ones start with C1 where mine starts with C4. So for me it works fine for everything I need it for and for me $200 would be a good deal. You could get a new Nexus 7 for that or less but I really want the 10 inch screen so an N7 is not the one for me. So the answer is...it all depends.
What the guy above me said.
Except, if the serial number is a "B", serial number, leave. It's a trap.

You got a great deal. Prime normally sold for $499. You saved 300 dollars.
I would pay 200 for one as long as it booted and responded to touch input. Just to mess around with it.

I have a virtually brand new sgs2 (white ) its only been used as a spare for my girlfriend until she got her new phone,so its about a month old. It has been rooted but no custom ROMs as she just needed the temp sim unlock which I have now removed again but kept the root enabled. So I would like now to sell it and was wondering how much these are worth today?. Its 3 UK carrier with all leads,headphones etc and boxed and has a screen protector under the original over covers.
Looked around but the variety of prices makes it unclear how much I should sell for,any ideas.........

eBay will give you a guide as to what they're going for I would have thought.
Edit - Scrub what I said about Marketplace. Seems they closed it a couple months ago. Or sites like this. I'd be surprised if you didn't have them in the UK (Google = friend).

Mmmmmm I wanted a community perspective on pricing because like I said I have looked but the variations on pricing are so different everywhere I look. I want to give somebody a bargain/fair price but I don't want to get ripped off either. The phone was free to me and I have a nexus 4 so I don't need the s2. Thanks but no disrespect I don't need links to here and there but would appreciate a comment like.....
" I would not sell it for less than ? "
" I think they are worth about ? "

i made a research on the used price of the s2 for a friend of mine, and it goes from 250€ to 350€.
i think around 300€ (or 257.55£) is a fair price
Always go a little higher than what you want to sell it at ( 250 = 270 etc.) because people always wants to go down in price .

Well If you're thinking of selling it...do it fast, samsung might drop the price of SGS2 anytime soon, coz its already doing that for many phones like S3 and note 2 etc..
Well it should go for about british 250 pounds(shouldn't go more than that) if you have all required stuff and accessories...
depends on buyer how much he's willing to pay..
Youll get nowhere near £250.I sold mines for £205 on boxing day,and a 3 month old note for £250 the day after that.Done it via eBay and that cost me about £50.
I believe Orange were selling brand new s2 for £199.99 not long after that.
You list the phone for whatever you think its worth and see if anybody bites.
Thanks all
So if I say £200 then that's a fair price yes ? Give or take a few £
Like I said its virtually brand new with I would say no more than 30 hours use.

Well in India you could sell that for about Rs.18000 to a dealer who deals second hand phones... Coz its only a month old...
That guy will increase the price to Rs.19-20000(220 pounds) and sell in the market... That's all I know... confirmed..
Plus markets are pretty different from places to places... Idk whether it's a good or bad idea selling it online...
Better sell it to a friend or someone...coz that person will feel a sense of security and already knows how less you've used it so will be willing to pay more..
Now u shouldn't be selling it nowhere below 170 pounds... Coz am already getting a 4 month used galaxy S2 in that price here...
Rest is your choice..
Sorry I was saying 250 pounds cox I had got conversions wrong..

The price would totally depend on where you want to sell it... Ebay is one thing, local Craigslist is another. As always, it's not what you want to sell it for, but what someone is willing to pay for it. In my local market, my target would be somewhere around $220-$250. $200 would be the lowest I'd sell it for. I bought my SGS2 a month ago for $140 on Craigslist. The only problems with it were the crappy battery and a scratched lens cover, so I had to buy a replacement casing and a new battery (about $30 worth in total)...
Duty free shop:
S II Brand new: $ 640 bucks
S III brand new: $ 740 bucks.
crazy right?
Sell it as Brand new.
