i'd like to go return my sears one and get a staples one for $70 less.
Ditto. I paid $399.98 plus tax @ Staples!
That was the second post in this forum that stated a cheaper than $399 gtab. The first was a $340 tab if you buy a two year warranty from sears for $50. No one responded to my question on that one, I am thinking because it wasn't true.
I think this one is either not a g-tab or just another unsubtantiated rumor.
Were is your power switch?

Sears is still showing the wrong picture. They are showing the Windows 7/Android 1.6 version. The ad has been screwed up from the start. At least the description is right now.
So, the Staples and Sears G tablets are the same. Sears just has the wrong picture.
yes.. they both have 4 buttons. Sears has the wrong picture up.
Ahh.... that's what that is, 15% off coupon and a staples 10 dollar card, since the tab wasn't on there site for notebooks or computers I talked the GM in to it, I believe it was 97015 coupon coded
Google it and bring your negotiations skills

He must have been referring to this coupon:
http://reg.e.staples.com/c/s/tagfrm/hBM5i--B7SHGCB8VwsiDaLRoA0c/coupon.html?n=834&email=
It says that it excludes ALL computers. But Staples has the g-tablet listed under the 'Electronic Book Readers" section. So that is what he meant by "bring your negotiations skills".
Coupon expired 11/21... BLAH!
I tried to get them to give me the discount, it was a no go. I tried telling them that coupon said desktops, laptops and netbooks but doesn't say tablets. They said it is like laptop and I said well if they take the time to say netbooks and netbooks are more like a laptop than a tablet they would have said tablet in the coupon. Oh well I tried....

The viewing angles finally got the best of me...
The Electronics MGR must have seen me coming...he had the return process mostly done by the time I got to the counter. I didn't even have to give a reason.
He mention that he had gotten 30 in. He sold 8. All 8 came back.
He also mentioned that none of the sales team was recommending it, because it's bad for the bottom line...
Did they charge you the %15? Also, which Sears?
Yeah, which one. I need to pick them up at $279 a piece!

Do you guys think most sears have returned gtabs?
http://www.searsoutlet.com/10-Andro...md&cid=1483&pn=1&ps=10&pid=70612&mode=buyUsed
I would almost be afraid to order from there. Had anyone ordered from the outlet? The site mentions scratched items.
Inticing at 100 off retail...what do ya all think?

Gotta be in ny for that one.
I just picked up my second G tab from the Sears in Scranton PA. Ordered from searsoutlet for 279. This one is a gift for my brother.
When I got to the customer pickup the lady said that "they don't get stuff from sears outlet" and that the tablet she got for me was from a pile of other tablets.
The package was unopened...and when i unboxed the tablet it looked completely untouched.
So bottom line is..I got a brand new tablet for 279.
Im not sure what the deal is with the searsoutlet but i know that tabs pop up a lot...and I don't see how they could have been sent back and forth to China for refurbishing?..?
CLick on the "refurbished" link. That is the term they use for anything NOT new! LOL!
I just realized that you cant order it to be delivered anyways... so must be a way for them to get rid of open box product and such. Closest one to me is Alabama ... and I am in California oh well.
Holy cow 8 out of 8 returned? After showing mine to a client the other day I told them if they wanted one to wait until Honeycomb comes out in 2011 and the bugs are worked out. Being that I would be the one supporting it.
I'm waiting for one to show up in the local Sears Outlet here, with the state this thing is in by default, $400 is way too high.
Viewsonic is going to catch hell from a bunch of retailers over this one.. Sears, Staples, Office Max (?), any others selling this lemon?
The fine folks here on XDA are making good strides on the tablet, and I suspect soon there will be good ROM that "just works", but out-of-box this thing is total crap and the 8 of 8 returned doesn't surprise me one bit.
THey may be out of stock but the site is now giving awat 9 quadrillion dollars with the purchase of the tablet... do you think this is a good deal

(hmmm for some reason the forum thinks im a new user all of a sudden and wont let me insert a pic... lame, so i spaced out the http so it would post)
Thinking about asking for the gtab for christmas and i've seen many videos that were very well done by ehunyadi and i see the buttons on his device are in the upper right hand corner when holding it and there are 4 buttons however on sear's and kmarts website the G Tablet i find only has 3 buttons on it, these are the same device correct?
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00382001000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1
Notice the 3 buttons above and in ehunyadi's videos the buttons there are 4 of them.
Just confirming that the image on sears and kmarts web sites is just wrong.
Yes, pictures on sears and kmart are of the wrong tab. The specs are right, it's just the wrong picture.
So if i was to ask for the one on kmart or sears website it will be the right device right? the one listed above that is.

This Friday and Saturday!
hell yes lol, was picking mine up in the morn
Where exactly on this ad are you seeing that Sears is selling it for this price this Friday and Saturday? I just bought mine this past weekend so I'm still in my 30 day window where I can go in and demand $30 back since I bought it for $379.99.
yea looked up sears ad not seeing it
See that price is more reasonable. They should just keep it at that price.

Their price protection is for 14days. I just got off chat with a sears rep and they say go into store and you will be taken care of.
I even told them I could return it and buy it at staples with the sears price.
I think we should be taken care of, I will be going down Fri or Sat with receipt in hand!

No G Tablet in my Sears ad
Got my paper here in N California this morning with the Sears ad for Friday and Saturday and there is no G tablet on sale in it.
Bummer
pissed me off lol
I have until Saturday for my 14 day price match window at Staples. I already price matched it to $380.... $350 would be even better!
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
If it goes down to $350 I'm not only getting my price match but I'll buy another.
I searched everywhere on the Sears site and didn't find it for $350. I actually saw one for $399, and then it was listed again with a different picture and description for $379.
Weird...
Maybe it's all a cruel joke...
My Sears ad for Friday and Saturday only shows an Asus netbook. No gtab
please remove this thread lol
Got into a fight at a sears tonight with manager because they didn't have my refurb when i got confirmation. ended up getting a brand new one price matched to the "refurb" price. It rang as 349.99 original price on the receipt if that helps anyone. This was in PA.
crap... my 14d w/Staples were up Monday!
I knew that I should've returned it and bought one at Sears!
Okay, I'm really confused. Where did this ad come from?
My Fri/Sat ad for Cincinnati doesn't even show a GTab in it, and the weekly ad that ends tomorrow says its $379.99 still, and then, the website says $399.99. When I got my price match at staples for $379.99 on Monday, the website showed that price. Now it doesn't.
Is Sears as confused as we are?

Just call and ask them. Price they would charge will show up when they enter the sku. Sears is pretty good with coordinating prices with their adds.

Site looks pretty screwed up ATM. It shows $379.99 but when you click on it for the specific page it then shows $399.99 ...
Yeah, I did a price match to $379.99 on Monday as well instead of returning it.
[EDIT]
Looked in the online weekly ad and didn't see it there either, but there was a BT Garmin GPS which is kind of tempting, but I want something smaller w/o display...

I bought before 11/26 though... the Monday before, i.e. 11/22 ... my price guarantee was marked as an "exchange" though (new receipt)... hmmm....
I am planning on picking up a Gtab tomorrow at Staples, since the one near where I work has them in stock. I checked the website just out of curiousity and they're no longer listed. I know that Staples was very down on them...none on display and the first time I went in someone who works there told me that they were dissuading people from purchasing them.
Anyone know anything about their clearance policies?
I asked my local Staples about it, a few weeks back - they said that they did not have one.
If they are pulling the GTab, I should call them and see if they'd sell the floor model. I was nice enough to update the firmware for them a week back (they weren't at the latest).
In the store yesterday and in fact in this week's local sale paper for $399.

I was surprised too when I searched for it on Staples website.
Now at Office Depot
In this morning's paper at Office Depot for $399. I suspect that perhaps Staples temporarily pulled the unit because of price match concerns with Sears at $350 last weekend. I've noticed that in the past when OD had an item cheaper that suddenly the availabilty of an item at Staples went to zero. Could be that they just sold out coincident to the lower price but does make one wonder.
That said, I missed my price match by a few days but still glad I pulled the trigger and have a nice little tablet and a few days off to explore. Thanks to the efforts of folks here it works really well at this point.
i got mine from staples sunday... i'll be returning it saturday. i love the speed, but man the screen is so low quality. how can viewsonic even consider sending out such a bad screen.
so, columbia, sc location may have an open box one this weekend

Awesome....I'll hopefully be able to pick that one up for a decent price.
i got my tablet at staples just because are sears closed down a few months ago. it kind of looked out of place to me i was thinking it was a seasonal sale
When Office Depot put the VS GTab on sale at $299.00 I quickly jumped into the Android Tablet market and bought one. I love it, it has served me well. In fact, I still have it AND use it along with the several other tablets I now own...
When I walked into Office Depot yesterday, I was shocked to see the cost on the VS GTab has gone back up to $399.00! I was sure the cost of the GTab would decline given all the other tablets currently on the market. Glad to see the GTab holding its value.
Saw that too
But it was right next to the ASUS Transformer running 3.1 and selling for $419 ($399 at Staples). I don't think they were selling many GTabs. Too bad ViewSonic doesn't release an updated OS.
It's still $299 at their web site:
http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/134043/ViewSonic-G-Tablet-101-Android-22/
I just last week purchased one through Amazon for $259 free shipping, no tax.
I also have a Nook Color running CM7 which I love for portablity and the gorgeous screen.

Yes, you can get it through Woot's Amazon Storefront:
http://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-gTa...1KWJVS57NX03I&s=generic&qid=1310945392&sr=1-1
Or you can by one off one of the guys here & save some money in the process.
I think the price you saw in the store is probably more from an outdated shelf tag.
BTW, tigerdirect has had the Gtab for $269 for several months now.
