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.
Buy the Prime at a low price then exchange for a brand new Infinity, good deal!

They'd be able to see on the receipt that he didn't pay full price for it.
That's a great price considering some of us paid full price when it came out at least for me Christmas last year at 545 I believe and the keyboard for 150 then best buy will buy the tablet itself for 150 trade in I believe

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.
Okay thanks for all the input guys.

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.

my 2 cents
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....
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

Appreciate your reply. Yep, I saw that site - that's what made me surprised about the CL price and I was wondering if you could actually sell a Prime for a little under $500. I get the Prime back tomorrow. I will hit you up by PM if I cannot unlock, although I am hoping against hope that the Unlock app actually works for me...

I can say for sure they are moving nicely for $400-$450 on CL. In fact, I've had mine posted since yesterday afternoon... http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/ele/3144382828.html and I have about 7 hits, all very reasonable. Since I will also consider trades, some examples are Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus and $150 and just a few minutes ago a 16GB white iPhone 4 mint condition ( AT&T unlocked ) not jailbroken plus $200 cash. As for straight cash, lowest offer was $400, and the deal that is most likely to happen, possibly tonight or early tomorrow, is $430 cash. So, hope that helps.
EDIT: I've just recently heard of Cowboom, never even visited the site. I hope for my sake people looking for a used Prime haven't heard of it either, and go to CL or eBay

That Cowboom site is going to kill the price of Primes if people get wind of it. I am thinking I probably should sell this sooner rather than later if I cannot unlock. $400-450 does seem good at this point. I saw your ad - good call on the Nexus 7. I got mine yesterday and it has been a real breath of fresh air so far.
Yea I wanna give the N7 a shot. I really doubt anyone is gonna trade me one, so I'll just end up buying one new. The plan is to get the N7 and then either upgrade the cell phone, or get a last gen 10" tablet ( Galaxy Tab, Xoom, etc for $200-$250. I miss having both 10" and 7" tablets at the same time.
Hey guys, just sold my one x today and ready to get an optimus g. So excited and cant wait. Where is the best place for me to get one off contract? ebay? craigslist?
I got mine off fleaBay, but I can't say where the best place to get one is. If you already have service with AT&T, it might be worth it to buy it unsubsidized through them. That way you get both LG's warranty as well as AT&T's. Amazon didn't have any for sale off contract (not sure if they do now yet) but if they did, that's the route I'd have gone. Buying through eBay can be sketchy. I got lucky to get a good unit (knock on wood) from a seller with a super high positive feedback percentage. It's still a risk though. If it goes belly up, I have to try to get LG to honor the warranty, which might be a struggle. Craigslist is strickly "as is" with no hope of any remedy other than buying a new one if anything happens to it, but if you get a good enough of a deal it may be worth the risk.
TL;DR: It all depends on how much you're willing to pay for peace of mind.
picked mine up sunday for 487 including tax at the att store. includes warranty and return period, if I was an idiot it would also include the option to insure the phone. mostly outperforms my tegra3 device with two cores tied behind its back (eco mode)

Thanks guys!
Picked up mine brand new off of craigslist from a guy who gets a hefty discount for 175. It was from best buy.
I got a good deal on mine off of Craigslist. Traded my skyrocket plus 150$ I bought my skyrocket on Craigslist for 200. So basically add that 200 and 150 so I paid 350 for it. Not to bad really.

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.
