Bought Gtablet 12/2 and returned 2 days later. Bought back today at $379 due to the excellent progress from the Geniuses on this forum. Been following the progress for 2 weeks and finally came back to Gtablet.
Saw flyer for 10% off sale for electronic items for tomorrow. Don't know if the Gtablet will be included. In the small print on the bottom, flyer mentioned computers do not apply. Will go back tomorrow and try to get 10% refund and savings buy 32/64 gb microsd.
Great hardware + great software + great support = great product. The great software support is found in this forum.
Charging Gtab, can't wait to root and flash.
I believe the 10% applied go gtablet. I was at sears yesterday and the sales guy asked me to stop in tomorrow to get the 10% off on $379

Hold up. So we can get the discount after we already purchased the gtab? I got mine just last week and a little more off would be great!
Does it need to have any flyer to get the 10%?
Of course you should be able to take advantage of the discount even if you bought it last week. Even if they don't have price protection, if you have your original receipt, do the following: buy a new G Tab with the discount, then use your first receipt to return that unopened one for the full, $379 refund. Money in your pocket.
FWIW though, I just tried to apply the online coupon to the G Tab, and it said the item was not covered by the coupon. You may luck more luck with sales associates though, since Sears' own description does NOT call the G Tab a computer (which the coupon excludes), but rather just a tablet. I was able to use that argument at Staples for a discount the other week. Good luck!
Sears 10% off sale 12/18/10
Yes. Just save extra $38.00 .Coupon on sear.com
Online is not accepting the coupon on g tablet.
Save yourselves the trip. I stopped at my local Sears retail outlet in Niles, Illinois, and asked about the 10% electronics sale -- they knew about it, tried to apply it to the in stock g-tablets and said the code does NOT work. They had a copy of the flyer right there and said they've used the code for other electronics today already. They also tried to do a price match on the tablet I purchased last week and the code would not work there either. So no joy here.

I just tried to buy one and the coupon does not work. Otherwise,I would be able to get one arounf 300 dollars using my discover card (another 10% from Sears)
Sorry, the 10% off coupon does not apply to Viewsonic Gtablet. It is considered a computer. Did not work for online order.
I went to sears to pick this up and the 10% coupon didnt work. I did get a 5% discount on $379..
On Saturday night December 18 the local Sears near Camden, NJ, had both the gTablet ($380) and the VS case in stock and for sale. I was looking for a network device, to no avail.

Yea, $379 is the sale price until Xmas. They are normally supposed to be $399.
I managed to get mine for $349 last week. Would have been ecstatic to get it for $315.
The 10% discount does not apply on the gTab, however I managed to get the discount thanks to a mistake the sales person made the day before when I went to pick it up, he told me I should wait and come back the next day so I can save 10% thanks to the "family and friends" sale, but the next day he noticed hat the Tab was excluded, but he honored the mistake and apply the discount anyway!
I love my Vegan moded gTab!
Picked one up today as a gift for my father.
Office Depot, $369 sale price.
Taking it back tomorrow, the thing is SO not ready for consumer use. Tons of force closes on first boot, the handango market is asstacular, the entire experience is a train wreck.
And I can't believe how bad the display is off angle, and how narrow the "on angle" is.
And what did they use to polish the glass with? It is actually rough feeling.
The demo model in the store was locked to the angled display case so it looked ok there, and was so greasy with fingerprints it didn't feel bad.
Maybe I'm spoiled after using a Galaxy Tab for the last month. But frankly I'd be embarrassed to give this thing to anyone. Hell, it makes me embarrassed to be an Android tablet supporter.
And since my dad fell in love with my Tab, I don't think he'd really enjoy the Viewsonic in comparison.
Even the devs here can't save this thing from that display. Shame, because the rest of the hardware seems decent enough.

hi guys
i'm looking to buy a used g-tablet, i'm in australia so it's much harder for me to buy from an online retailer. i have a headfi/ebay/ocau account where i've sold/bought plenty of stuff in case anybody needs some reassurance.
let me know what you have and how much you'd like for it
thanks
Id suggest Amazon mate, got mine from them, shipped to Sydney in less than 14 days. and since the price seems to be dropping, eg down to around $360 US dollars, and with our dollar atm, its the time to do it.
http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-Tablet-Multi-Touch-Screen-Android/dp/B004EPV7TK/ref=pd_sim_e_1
Got mine from Amazon too, $444.14 in the end, expedited delivery, 6 days from ordering, turned up in Canberra.
Took me a few days of checking to be able to order one though, only when it's actually from amazon would it be able to be shipped to Aus, other company's that sell through amazon seem to not ship out of the USA.
+1 for amazon, a few posts below this one http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-Tablet-Multi-Touch-Screen-Android/dp/B004EPV7TK/ref=pd_sim_e_1 for $359 atm is better than what I got it for 3 weeks ago ($379)
thanks for the responses guys, i considered amazon but most of their merchants don't ship abroad and through amazon themselves it comes to about $420 inc standard shipping. i'm hoping to see if i can pick it up cheaper
Don't forget that there are quite a few really nice tablets coming out like the Elocity A10 and the Asus transformer. Those two are in my options the best options coming out soon. I am going to pick up a transformer when it comes out next month. It comes with honeycomb, 1 gig ram and an IPS screen. The G tablet is great but it will be probably a month or longer before honeycomb is stable enough to use daily. And Intel will be releasing the SandyBridge mobile processors later this year and those are going to kick some ass. Also checkout WI-DI. I can't wait. I would recommend a G tablet if you can get a good deal on one like $250. But for $400 go with the A10 or transformer. Just my 2 cents.
Just noticed this in my e-mail.

nice
prob saw the sale that woot had and did the same. if i hadnt already bought mine from there id buy this.
Got mine from TD. Bought it Sunday, arrived at my door on Wednesday. I've had bad experiences with them in the past, but they came through this time.
really? only thing i bought from them before was a logitech harmony one remote for like 110 or 120. was a good deal at the time (and might still be) in my mind. glad it worked out well for you though
Well it was mostly with their rebates -- they will go to great lengths not to redeem them. Maybe they've gotten better about that, but they were pretty infamous for that years ago. But when I saw this deal a few days ago (it was a coupon that put it down to $299), and after I skipped the Woot deal, I jumped on it.
Tigerdirect
Dang... beat me to the punch on this one!
Did anyone else notice that the Gtab was on the front page of Tigerdirect.com? (It was the second of three rotating adds for me.)

I dont know about anywhere else, but in Grand Rapids MI, they ship in about a day to 2 at most. They are usually a bit more than newegg for things not on sale, but if i need it quick, i order from them.
My GF just ordered two of these from TD... one for each of us. We're looking forward to seeing what they'll do with a little "tweaking"
Bought a NVidia Shield K1 a month ago. Loved it so much I wanted to buy one for my wife. Now, in the Netherlands, all shops are suddenly out of stock.
Amazon.de is the only one that still has it, but the price jumped €5,- more expensive than yesterday.
What is going on?
I doubt they stopped selling it, they probably just ran into a supply issue in your region. They're still in stock at Best Buy and Amazon for MSRP ($199 US) here in the States.
Edit: looking at Best Buy's website, it looks like they're sold out in stores but they're still available for purchase on the web, and stores will be getting new stock next week. So yeah, definitely a supply chain issue.
I bought mine today in France, same issue: out of stock nearly everywhere, out of stock on the website of the shop I bought it from, but in stock in shop. Price went 10€ up yesterday too.
Is this related to a possible imminent release of the X1 tablet?
I hope it is, and stocks are really out to make place for a € 300,- Nvidia Tablet X1. For that, I gladly wait.
I don't think that's the case. The K1 was JUST released a few months ago. It's more likely they oversold their initial stock considering how it's pretty much the most powerful 8" tablet on the market right now, especially at the price.

Yes, hopefully that is the case. Although the webshops in my country had a 5 day delivery time on orders yesterday. Today it's changed in "undetermined"
Using this tablet for watching movies and my screen for product and special photography. Canon camera with DSLRControler makes this tiny tablet the perfect companion.
Amazon.de has some in stock, but only delivers them to German adresses.
Plenty in the States. I just received mine two days ago for $199, newest version. Very nice tablet, and M upgraded 2 times to Shield 1.1

I was able to score a second K1 tablet at Paradigit Maastricht, The Netherlands. They mailed me that they found 2 of them in their physical stock, but it had been removed from the webshop. So still no idea why all the stock is out in Europe. But I have mine now and of the X1 comes out I guess I'll get that one too.
Amazon UK has them in stock since Friday.
I messed up and didnt order one at release, now im wanting it pretty bad.
Anyone having luck finding it in the US? I have read reports from several people that some 3rd party vendors that are shipping from Korea are shipping out international version ( no samsung pay, right? ) so I'd like to avoid that.
Frys Electronics shows it available for shipping first week of Jan.
Id prefer to go through Best buy or amazon, anyone have some insider info on them? Customer support has zero info.
thank you!

I was able to find it at Best Buy.
I had the same problem. Couldn't find it anywhere, finally I took a chance, and went to craigslist, saw one going for $200 no box, I asked the guy if the charger came with it, he said yes. I took the chance, went for it, and it's just the watch, with the charger, (no cable or power block) but for $200 it's not bad. I factory reset it before I did anything, so far so good, everything works, Samsung pay works.
Best buy
None of the best buys in my area or anaheim, ca or las vegas have them in stock. The best my local best buy was able to do for me is give me a 10% off coupon ad they couldn't even let me place an order to secure the 299 price.
Been keeping an eye on Craigslist too, thank you guys!

I usually check nowinstock.net for email notifications when they come in stock at Best Buy, amazon or B&H.
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
It actually looks like its in stock at best buy currently with free 2 day shipping: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-gear-s3-frontier-smartwatch-46mm-dark-grey/5647800.p
Aww snap! Thanks for that! I was at bestbuy not less then 2 hours ago and they were showing none. Anywhere. Ordering!
I Also got mine from Bestbuy about a week ago, but they were out of all the Bluetooth only editions. I ended up convincing them to sell me an ATT version for the same price and I'm just using it as Bluetooth only. Seems they are out of stock just about everywhere..
I ended up getting two shipped out. One came in today and the bezel clinks quite a bit. Going to see how it compares to the one arriving tomorrow.
Found one under my Christmas Tree. :good:
I just bought one today from my local Best Buy. No Best Buy locally had them until yesterday. Per the manager I bought mine from, they had a shipment of them come in yesterday. They only got 4. There was only 1 not ordered online that was available for anyone to walk in and buy. They didn't have a demo unit on the floor.
AT&T has a special if you upgrade a line, you can get the S3 for 50 bucks...just did it myself. Doesn't have to be the Flagship, either...any Galaxy phone.
Just walked into my local best buy today and they had one left. It was $350 though. They said they will price match until the 15th of January so hoping it goes on sale! Either that or Verizon announces they are getting a LTE model and I'm returning this one asap
Picked one up, the last one, at my local Best Buy. It was $350 but I was able to use a one time 10% discount. Came out to $337. A few bucks more than with tax on the sale price. Ordered from Samsung 3 weeks now and still no updates. Cancelled that order.
whoever is looking, I use this site to stalk the stock of the main website/stores to find most things and the watch was one of them. It even says at this exact moment amazon has them in stock
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
None of my Best buys stores in the Bay area has it in stock. Starting hitting craigslist and picked one up for $220, like new in box with all accessories and the receipt from Amazon. Can't express how much more comfortable this is compared to my S2.
They have alot in the Fort Worth Texas areas

Man i have had the same luck with Samsung. I ordered during the christmas sale and its been weeks. Aholes haven't shipped my order yet. Best buy has been out of stock since a long time near me, either. So i kept checking almost daily like a routine and finally found in stock, ordered and cancelled my Samsung order. The frustrating part is Samsung website has been showing The Frontier will ship in 1-3 business days since past coupla days. I called their agents and they all be like- "Oh sorry, it just means it will be delivered in 1-3 business days, once it leaves the warehouse. It is not what you think". WT?? Man I got so pissed calling them again and again with no luck, they all repeating the same sht. I have a strong feeling they are not shipping in the order received. I think brand new orders at full price are still being shipped sooner than those back orders sold at sale price.
