Is it saying unavailable for anyone else? Anybody know the reasoning behind it? I was planning to pick one up in Las Vegas this weekend but it seems like the only place to get one now is Office Depot. I was hoping to have a few choices of places to pick one up.
Could be sold out.
I don't many of the stores are carrying much G-Tab inventory. So they may have to wait till the next shipment from China.
Interesting, there are plenty in my areas (NH, MA, VT). BTW, I just checked today, there are at least 6 -7 in the outlets..
It still says that it is temporarily unavailable. But checking the link for locally available stock shows plenty available in my area.
So, it's been pulled from the web site, but not the stores? What is up?
It looks as if it has also been removed from the Office Depot web site! When I search for tablets on their site, it comes up as a thumb link. But clicking on it results in an "Invalid SKU" error! It does say this under the thumb view:
Unavailable, please call
1-800-GO-DEPOT!
Hopefully, they are just being recalled to install the latest firmware. They are suppose to be coming out with a Flash update soon. Flash, along with the improvements since the initial release, really makes this an iPad killer!

Don't jump to conclusions. It may be possible that Sears has abandoned the g-tablet, but there are other possible reasons for it's disappearance. Maybe they want to sell units that have the latest firmware, and Flash too. Remember, they promised a Flash update this month.

Looks like a View pad 10.
It would be nice if the Viewsonic rep that has been on this site, would chime in?
I have been on the fence and almost convinced and went to the sears web site yesterday/today to see the same "unavail". I did see it avail at OD, and I went to VS site and weird stuff. When I selected "resellers" it temporarily popped up a list then they disappeared off the screen, and when i put in my zip (Houston area) it had no stores listed.
I'm back on the fence - but hopeful it is a good thing.

While at the store a Viewsonic showed up and was asking me what I though about the unit, he assured me that Dec 16th would be a turning point for the device and joked that they rushed the unit to the market with the firmware being horrible. In fact he said it was a -2 on a scale 1-100, Lol, I agreed and told him the update was better but still not worth the 379.00, he then told me to root it or wait till Dec 16th that the update will add flash and several other features but will make the unit run optimizing both cores and currently it was only running on 1.
I am getting closer to thinking about buying it, I overall like the unit and I am not disappointed with the display it is decent.

It's funny how that's the same day the Nexus S with Gingerbread will be available from Best Buy lol
I doubt this update will be 2.3 though
I hope this is true. I love this tablet, and if viewsonic keeps pace with what Google is developing it could prove to be a good investment.
This is definitely good news. Hopefully whatever software upgrade this thing gets, the screen sensitivity issue is addressed. While flash is great, it means nothing if I can barely type the web address to get to the flash-based site.
Looking forward to December 16- at least it'll be in my 30 day window for a return.
but even with an update from viewsonic the custom roms mean nothing right? ... ok say they release a update that fixes the screen touching issue and optimizes it for both cores unless your running the stock software viewsonic released it with your not going to see any of those benefits right?

What the hell are you talking about? The point of my post was pointing out that they should worry less about flash and more about making the touchscreen work.

actually i wasn't posting in reference to what you said i was asking a genral question im kinda new at this i was wonder if the update was saved in a different partition of the device so that the fixes would work on custom rom i wasnt trying to counteract anyones post!! sorry if you misunderstood stood
what it will mean is that the guys who build the rom will port over the changes to the custom rom So if something addresses speed or touchscreen issues then it will make the custom roms even better
gotcha thank you so much for your replie i was seriously unclear thats all every one is a noob at some point

Not on Day One, that's correct. Day Two will be another story.
Don't worry, I'm all prepped - TnT Lite 3.0.0 one day after the firmware is released. The only issue is don't believe what a SEARS / Staples rep tells you, as they don't know any more than we do. While I'm sure Flash will be in there, we don't know what else will be added.
I hope it's blazing fast with all the major bugs fixed, but we just don't know yet.

Not questioning your info, but am the rep. Why was he at a furniture store if concerned about G sales? Should he not be at Sears, Office Depot or Staples? Maybe I read your note wrong.
I would not expect a furniture store to be a critical channel partner that VS would spend money sending a rep to train staff. If they did, that could explain why the G was launched as it was

If this person was a VS rep, then I retract what I had written earlier - they might know more than we do. And that's a good thing.

No they sell electronics 2 not just furniture. I picked his brains pretty good but I still couldn't get a whole lot of info from him except he knows that everyone's not impressed with it so far

Tomorrow is the 19th.
Should we be expecting the big update...
Any idea's on what it will include in addition to flash ?
I have a feeling it's going to come and go. An their will be no updates.
Most likely they are going to wait a few days and then release a state-
ment that they are working on a major update and as soon as it's done
they will push it out.
I would say, second or third week of Jan. of 2011 for the next patch
from Viewsonic.
Looks like a wait and see ...

This awesome community already did. I just need SEARS to be kind enough to offer up an outlet device that I don't have to fly to, to pick up.
I keep hoping that someone offers a scratched up floor model on eBay, for a deep discount. That would be the perfect dev device for me.

Where in PA are you? I can drive to Freehold and get that one and drive it to you if you are close to me.

EDIT: Nothing. I've been scanning it on and off all morning. I actually saw a Freehold one about 2 weeks back, but I wasn't looking for an extra one at the time. Too bad, because Freehold is an hour away so definitely do-able.
If there is ANY truth to the Gtablet being pulled by Viewsonic, the CS line will be shut off anytime, within days and they will not bother with the FW release. All of this stuff costs money.

I have never had wireless or FC problems. I guess that is why I was never motivated to install a custom ROM. I just installed all the mods on the original UI.
On a related note. Since this update (supposedly) contains Flash for the g-tablet, should I remove the Flash hack first?

It's ALWAYS been the stock fw that wasn't any good. When I first got mine, I had this crazy idea of staying stock, but the original fw would always Force Close in the news page, and then the update resulted in the weather app Force Closing on me, so I moved onto custom fw and settled on TnT lite.
I might even go back to trying stock fw if TnT ever get their act together...
Now, I understand from the 3316(IIRC) thread that flash is still not included, but their website is still claiming that flash support would be released yesterday. (Odd day, Sunday, to release a fw update...)
I just fund this, hope it helps. It says that they have 5600 units in stock.

Had one in my shopping cart in the US site just before it crashed. Sigh.
if you browse for the items and use the old part numbers, they will be full price. The reduced price ones have a different part number and show up as 99 and 149 respectively. But right now they said their site is down for maintenence.
I tried to find it but could not it said o items found.

does anyone know what time the erwincomp deal started? i doubt they have that many stock to fulfill all orders damn
btw i ordered more than 3 hours ago so it was around 6.15 am xda time
Well I finally saw on B&N where they officially canceled my order. I just now -- literally 5 minutes ago -- successfully completed an order on erwincomp.com, so we'll see how that goes. I even splurged for super-fast shipping, under the assumption that they're lining up orders based on ship date, not order time. I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist, but this whole damn fiasco just might begin reprogramming my neurons about that, hahahahaha...
BTW, check this **** out...buy.com is selling these suckers for over $800!
That's nuts
i just ordered from erwincomp.com for 129 $ 16GB good deal by the way

Yep, I checked the store today and they did not have it in stock. They had an open space to display it, but no stock. They said that a lot of people have been asking about it. They didn't know when it would arrive, but it might be as much as a month after it is listed online.

That fondue pot's looking pretty good XD. I didn't see it this morning, it's there now. I ordered over the phone and the expected delivery date is the 19th-24th.
EDIT: Anyone notice that the dock is $160 at Best Buy?
EDIT2: A side note...they offered a warranty of some sort (I didn't really listen, I just wanted to get the thing ordered already), some Geek Squad warranty against physical damage like drops and breaks, it even covered water damage. Anyone think that would be worth it? I don't think I'll be taking my tablet to the shower with me anytime soon, but it might be helpful if it's actually a good service and I do happen to break it.
The Play Store in the U.S. says out of inventory for both the 16 and 32GB versions.
Is this phone coming back at all now? I found an article online that said that after Q1 2015 it is not available any longer.

The Play Store hasn't restocked too often since near the end of last year (and sells out too quickly when it does). You're better off looking elsewhere instead of waiting.

Therefore it doesn't belong in this thread.
@xdadevnube XDA's recommended place to look is Swappa, but pretty much anywhere will do as long as you try not to get scammed. Of course, you can also buy from a carrier store/retailer if you'd rather have a brand new one. Other than the two models for the different LTE bands (D820—US/D821—rest of the world), every Nexus 5 is the same.
