Has anybody heard anything about preordering this in the US market?
I was going to get a Z3 Tablet Compact at the end of this month, but, if the price rumors are true, the Z4 Tablet will have a release price about the same to $50 more than the Z3TC is currently selling for. Why spend full price on a tablet when the next model comes out in a couple/few months for about the same price and has much better specs (or being able to get the current model at a reduced price when this releases)?
I have been searching for the this for the last month. As far as I can tell the US has to wait till July.
Price isnt the decision factor here, you need to consider the size you want. I had the xperia z2 tablet (10 inch screen) and it was too overwhelming, it was heavy and big. Though it was pleasing to the eyes i find it difficult to carry it around. Just few days ago, i sold it and purchased the Z3TC.
in the end, its really your choice, 10 inch tablets are just not for everyone.
Any update?
I just ordered an unlocked one on eBay from Taiwan. Should be in by the middle of the month.
How much was it?

Please let us know when/how it comes in. I saw a few on eBay from Taiwan and was leery about the low feedback count.
Don't waste your time and risk your money on eBay. Expansys is already selling the LTE version for $700 including shipping. For another $35, they'll extend the warranty they provide from six to 18 months. (With their warranty, if Sony USA refuses to cover the device, Expansys will return it to the country from which it came, handle the warranty repair for you, and then return it to the USA once more.)

I got the tablet in yesterday and I love it. The battery and display is fantastic. I took notes on LectureNotes, at full brightness and recorded for 3 and a half hours and still had 75%. My only major issue is the remote play (main reason I got the tablet). It seems that it runs once after the initial setup. If I restart the device it gives me error code 88001003 and exits the app. I think it occurs because the tablet is unlocked. Huge bummer and I'm thinking about returning it and waiting for it to come in the US at the end of the month.
Edit: I removed SuperSU and everything is okay now. Unlocked was not the issue.

I'm considering getting the flyer for xmas.
I noticed at bestbuys website it says "no shipping" and when I check to see if they have it in stock locally it doesn't show up.
I am not hard set on getting it yet, because I'm really wondering if I just want a new toy and it will sit collecting dust after a few weeks of usage..
Or I will seriously use it for ereading/manga purposes.
I'm sure HTC is not manufacturing any more, but that's normal for companies to make a big production run and then move on to the next new device. So whatever stock was out there , when its gone , its gone. Looks like BB is out, so I only see them on other sites now. I guess some of the carriers like Tmob and Sprint still have the 3g/4g versions in stock.
it does sort of suck they haven't officially announced that they are no longer manufacturing it.
Oh well..
Most, or perhaps all manufacturer don't keep assembly lines open just to pump out a few more units. They make a big run, take a look at initial sales and either make one more run or switch over to new hardware. They don't need to announce it, that's just the only way to keep prices competitive. And the hardware guys don't make money selling old products at a reduced price. 6 months is old news in hardware
true.. I may see if I can use the "ship to store option" and see if they can get one..
If not.. oh wells.
Have you considered getting the EVO View 4G? They have brand new ones for $299 (was $275 over Thanksgiving week) which includes shipping and no tax outside of FL.
http://reaganwireless.com/htc-evo-view-tablet.php
FYI, I'm not associated with this company and it was posted previously by others. IMO it's a great deal.
Best buys have recently told me that they may be ordering more. There's still hope for late-comers like me.
I'm sure HTC or some wholesalers has a pile of them somewhere in a warehouse. Like the few hundred tech4less dumped over the weekend at $199.
Well I really wish they would just mark it as "sold out" and take away the add to cart option so we would know.
Small update, I emailed HTC and they said they have no knowledge of the flyer being discontinued.. so something is fishy on the bestbuy side..
I ordered the HTC EVO View 4G from here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150705761318#ht_840wt_1396, $314.00 and free shipping, though I noticed today there's another for $309.00, also with free shipping, here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-H...US_Tablets&hash=item2a1583150e#ht_4654wt_1163
It's cheaper than Regan Wireless' $329.00 price right now. He seems to have a pretty good amount. I also plunked down for the SquareTrade warranty.
That's a stock answer form HTC on almost every question. You can just about be guaranteed that HTC has not been manufacturing any Flyers since May 2011. THat would be standard procedure. Whatever their production number was, that's what supply exist. They did make another run of the View / 4g for Sprint.
You really don't think that Best Buy can say to HTC , hey we need another 2000 Flyers and HTC is going to go "snap" sure we will spend another $500k setting the assembly line back up just for your tiny order".
Guess i got mine just in time I thought it was something to do with floods in Thailand
Or maybe they're just backordered. This has happened a couple times in the last few months and somehow they always seem to reappear. If you can get it shipped to the store in 3-5 days from BestBuy that means it's still available.

The production line hasn't manufactured Flyers in a while.
It's obvious HTC is not very enthusiastic about the tablet market. Afterall, the profit margin on smartphone is much higher than the cut-throat tablet markets.

You slow, you blow. I was all set to spend $299 at Best Buy but their people are incompetent. I got a new flyer for $174 from Tech For Less.
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.

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

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?

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!

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.

For another $35, they'll extend the warranty they provide from six to 18 months.

Good luck! All I can tell you is that I bought my HTC One X, my wife's HTC One X+ and my Xperia Z2 from them, and every one was a good experience. The One X+ was the only one where I had any problems at all -- I'd actually ordered a One S, but they couldn't source it and so after waiting a while, they offered me the much better One X+ at well below their retail price.
And for my Xperia Z2, I ordered the phone, two docks and headphones, then they contacted me to let me know I could save money by buying a new, unopened Z2 UK kit that a customer bought and returned without opening, with that specific kit including the headphones I'd bought separately. They actually saved me a good bit by doing so, when they could've just filled the order I had made and got more money out of me...
So yes, three good experiences and I'm very happy with them. Hopefully you will be too! I'm pretty certain once I can afford the Z4 Tablet, I'll be getting it from Expansys, unless somehow Sony USA miraculously sets a reasonable price for the tablet. (Last time around, I paid less to them for the phone, two docks, headphones, extended warranty and expedited shipping than I'd have paid to Sony USA for just the phone by itself.)
We'll see. Here's to hoping. I'm not overly concerned with the timeframe as much as I am just getting it.
Anyone know where I can get the Keyboard seperately? They never released the keyboard for the Z2 Tab Internationally so I'm going to use this. The only one I have found is this one: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/301652441507?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
But $288 AUD for a keyboard alone IS CRAZY. I was expecting to spend like $100...
*EDIT* Found it a bit cheaper on http://www.expansys.com.au/sony-blu...or-sony-xperia-z4-tablet-black-qwerty-275344/ $240 + 18 Postage AUD
http://www.amazon.de/Sony-BKB-50-Bl...&qid=1433574303&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=bkb50 Comes to $214 AUD but no shipping to Aus.
http://www.mobilezap.com.au/53608-official-sony-xperia-z4-tablet-bluetooth-keyboard-case-black.htm $233.50 + $30 postage AUD :/

You're not going to find it for $100 or even anything close to that. The keyboard alone, direct from Sony, costs 15,880 yen in Japan. That's the equivalent of AU$166 in their home market, and you've got to add the cost of international shipping PLUS a profit margin to make it worth their while for any company selling you one as a parallel import. I'd figure $220 is the absolute minimum you're going to find it for anywhere...
I bought at Clove - 482.50 GBP, but it bundles BKB50 Bluetooth Keyboard!
Lets go!
Pre-ordered from the Microsoft store. Have been utilizing Microsoft rewards so I will get reward points for my purchase also. Now the wait ?
Pre-ordered, but went through AT&T sadly. Wanted the unlocked version, but it is too pricey outright.
I pre ordered mine via bestbuy. I am hoping this lightens my load while increasing my functionality. Here's hoping Verizon will activate on the esim and I can use AT&T on the sim slot

I also pre-ordered with AT&T, we have a business account with them. I'm going to make it my DD for a week or so to see if it would be a good fit for where I work. If there were just a few key differences I would feel a little more excited about it. My wish list in no particular order would be 1) Bigger batteries, at least over 5,000mA 2) Minimum 90 Hz refresh rate 3) Thinner bezels all the way around. I'm okay with some bezel just trim them maybe in half?? 4) Wireless charging (I realize I need to give up some thickness for the battery and charging coil, I'm good with it) 5) Stereo speakers, this will a media device to a certain degree.
Preordered through AT&T as well. Anxiously waiting, but I do have some reservations. My main one is the size. I'm coming from the Huawei Mate 20 X. Using a Pixel 4a at the moment to get used to a smaller screen again. None of the specs bother me. I get tired of hearing about the 855 processor. I mean just over 9 months or so ago every reviewer was gushing over how fast it was. Now, it's like a Model T in their eyes. Ridiculous. I'm just worried about the smaller screen size.
People get very hung up on specs, I have been hearing good things about performance but again that's just numbers. The real test will be individual usage and how it performs for each of us. If you have AT&T or Best Buy close by, you may want to see if they got demo units in. They were supposed to go live 08/28. there are YT videos popping up.
August 30 in best but near me
I wonder if they will ship out before the 10th to avoid possible delays
My understanding is that the device would be delivered by 09/10.

I read an article stating they'd start shipping on 9/10. I quickly checked my pre-order which clearly stated delivery by 9/10.

As does my AT&T order. if they say Delivery by 09/10 then they will make every effort to meet that commitment. (will any of them arrive early, who can say..) I have never had one show up late.
Cheers,

at 9/10 it should be at your door.

Very odd cause most charges fall off in a few days . I work for Apple and we try not to do this so early cause we would get people who get there devices and then cancel the card later.
I’m hoping is means they will ship soon. I can probably look for my order number on UPS.
