Hey guys I saw no slickdeals that the price of the HP Touchpad is dropping 300 bucks tomorrow cause they dropped it! I called to confirm and its true, I bought 3 for the full price and they 100% guaranteed that I would be given credit when the price adjust tomorrow at 7AM EST.
Heres the Slickdeals thread:
http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3220862
You can either wait till tomorrow for the price drop or call in right now and pay full price and have it adjusted tomorrow morning. Some are saying the new price is live for the Academic shop but some people can't see it with .edu email addresses.
I have played with the tab in a store and I have to say for $99 this is one Hell of a steal.
Good luck.
Wow. I was expecting a liquidation, but this is remarkable. For browsing the web and random Document editing, this is an amazing price!
Does anyone know the hackability of this device? Do you think that, despite discontinuation, that the app market might become at least respectable (with xda involvement)?

I don't know about the hackability but I'll tell you this tab handles flash like a boss. Its the only one I've seen that can do 1080p youtube without a hitch. And I dunno, they are killing off the touchpad itself but they want to keep webOS alive, I don't really know what that means for webOS on the tab.
Think we can get android on this?

Uh, I've heard that someone is making progress with ubuntu but I've seen nothing on android. And its probably not gonna happen for all I know cause isn't honeycomb based on tegra?
So I can just buy this to just surf the internet? If so, I am ready to buy a couple.

Does anyone know what stores have lowered the price? I've been checking the usual suspect's websites and they haven't updated yet. I'd rather walk into a brick and mortar place to get it though. I don't want to wait for shipping if I don't absolutely have to.

Target and amazon both had it but they sold out in minutes. I don't know but maybe bestbuy might have it tomorrow, I say this because Bestbuy Canada had the $100 price online.

Honeycomb has been ported to the galaxy s line, galaxy tab and evo... Probably more too, I think Nook. So... Maybe it's possible?
*might* have to get one of these... If I can afford it

I'm DEFINITELY buying one and I'm sure ICS can be ported to it when the time comes since the source will be released for it. This is a SNAPDRAGON QUALCOMM CPU and GPU and HTC uses that for their CPU/GPUs so I don't see why it's not possible, someone would have to write a kernel from scratch though to make it smoother, just like how the HD2 has Android, but it's not perfect since it's not using it's own kernel. If someone actually takes the time to unlock the bootloader(if it isn't already unlocked) and write up a kernel for it and port ICS to it, this tablet can be badass ;D $99 Android Tablet with ICS pl0x.

Got one for $90. I mean, at that point I couldn't resist. Heck, at worst I feel like if I use it, dont like it, I can still flip it for a tiny profit on craigslist or ebay.
Im really hoping for an android port. The specs on this tab are actually quite good. Im probably going to end up keeping it regardless. I'll probably just end up using it for bedside web-browsing, movies, and music.
There's a killing to be made by porting android to this thing. thousands of people just picked up this thing on slickdeals (there are literally over 11k browsing right now). I know tons are willing to donate (im good for 10$-20$ myself depending on quality and progress)
Looking forward to a touchpad xda forum soon

Found a Captivate on Craigslist for $150. I have an iPhone 3G right now, before that, a Blackberry Bold 9000. Would it be prudent of me to grab this device and try it out for a while before deciding what new Android device to get? Could I have enough fun and time with it before transferring? Thanks for your help!
If it works and doesnt have a cracked screen, it sound like a good deal. Pm me a link to the c list page and i'll give you a better opinion
He lowered the price to $150. Seems like he wants to get rid of it. I could then sell my iPhone 3G to recoup some money back, so I might just go ahead and do it.

No, just offering to look at it for a second opinion. Maybe he missed something in the pics that could answer some questions, like why is someone selling a phone worth about double that for that price. I'm thinking its either bricked or broken.
Op, if you buy it,.update us on condition.

Almost all modern custom roms take care of that pretty well

If you go the custom ROM route, you'll have an excellent smartphone.
Other than GPS, of course.
I just recently moved to ATT from TMobile where I had the Vibrant. They are currently doing refurb Captivates for $10 (or at least were 2 weeks ago) - if you will sign for 2 years.
I have a captivate, and I've had a 3G before and the captivate is better in my opinion. Its has way more customization plus a noticeable speed increase. And if you jailbroke your 3G there's a computer app called one click that makes it easy to jailbreak or "root" your captivate.

Im about to buy a G2x from someone on craigslist for the low price of $280. Ive been reading the forums all day and it seems like i may just be buying myself some trouble. Im planning on flashing CM7 as i did on all my 3 phones i own right now. WHat should i expect and not expect? Is the phone even worth $280 considering all the issues?
CM7 works perfectly fine for me with the stock kernel. I have absolutelt no problems other than the torch app sometimes acting up. I would nab that deal in a heartbeat. I love my phone. Although it seems as if some phones on weird and slight occasion dont flash properly or just plain have a weird problem with APN's. And it is known that some G2X's dont handle overclocking and undervolting as well as others. I have a theory that alot of the nards that are having major problems all the time are doing something wrong or getting a bad download or something along the lines of that. Good luck and cheers!
i have had no problems with reboots whatsoever. also, if you read a little more you would see that gingerbread has been released by LG. Even though it may not be official a lot of users is reporting positive reviews so far. it's only a matter of time before we see custom roms using this base and our phones will be that much better.
As long as the hardware seems in good working order then yes it's a great buy.
its incredible that the price has gone up so much. i got mine for $99 + free activation! but you should be able to get it for $240. the gingerbread upgrade will fix a lot of issues and cyanogenmod with the latest drivers for gingerbread will take it the rest of the way. If I were you, I would wait until the price comes down but if you have $ to spend then go for it.

just go to them and ask them to price match. I had to try it with three different stores around the area and one of them priced matched so you might have to ask around.
At $280 buy it. Now that GB is out, it going to go up in price when people start catching on, so far update has fix a few issues.
Yea great buy considering the phone sells for $499 plus tax whoever selling it for $280 is either an idiot or brilliant because he selling u a ****ed up phone

What? You can get G2x's for even lower than that on craigslist. It's not that he's selling a broken phone. It just depends on the person. I've seen brand new iphone's go for less than that. It's that some people just don't care to do their research especially if they got the phone on contact... They sell the phone for less than what they paid on contact..

A bunch of people will likely say you should wait for the new fancy quad core around that illusive corner or you should get that shiny new joint with the bells, whistles, and whurlies. and to all that I just say, ask yourself these questions:
1. Who has the best development community?
2. Who's been running ics for 5 months now?
3. Who has best mix of functionality and performance?
The answer, my friend, is we do. I learned long ago that hardware is just a hardwired piece of crap without development. And our development, in my opinion, is among the best. And our hardware is nothing to play with either. In fact, I don't think the software is at a level to really use the new hardware. It's like running windows 98 on a quad core machine... Why would anyone do that?
I should add, all this is considering you plan on rooting and flashing. If not, get something else.

unlocking the boot loader is as simple as "fastboot oem unlock" rooting is also really easy, you can turn it into a massacre machine or make it to last a week without charging, a great gallery of modification have come to beeing that give you even more freedom and.. well a lot more. well for 100$ i'd definitely buy it...again

How would it last a week on a small battery? I have the same phone pretty much and had the oem 1500 mAh and on CM7 usuing VR (Scheduler) and Conservative (Governor Clearly lol) and was heavy UV as well and can barely break 15 Hours. Now I have a hyperion 3500 mAh And most I've gotten is 2 days with about 2 Hrs of actual screen on time. I hopped on netflix other day and straight watched it no interuptions except after movie wifi went out and turned it back got 6 Hrs on battery and about 5 Hrs and 30Mins of actual screen on time. Phone was awake the whole time pretty much. I can post screenies but a lil later busy right now. If it can last you a week what are you doing? Are you actually using the phone haha? Thanks for the input guys considering buying it.
Edit: not to mention I use Juice defender as well to help it out and trust me it lasts longer I've tested it you just have to use correct settings to your usage.

This and the Samsung Galaxy S (aka Epic Touch 4G) are practically the same phone with a different case. Looking at features alone the Galaxy has a microsd card slot and FM radio which the Nexus doesn't. I wouldn't bother buying the Nexus if you keep the Touch unless you're dying for an awesome dev community.

So after having my TF101 for over a year, it took a nasty fall and became unusable. This was of course devastating, made even worse by the fact that I am about to start at a new school. I have been wanting to upgrade for awhile, but since I bought it with my last paycheck from a job I lost, this has not been possible. However, due to this tragedy, my parents are considering buying me a new one, but paying full price is out of the question. So, I found this site through Google selling a TF300T for only $229, which seems too good to be true. Can anyone say if this is a legit site?

I read a lot of comic books and the 10.1 screen is perfect for them. Also, I like the convertibility. And of course, the Nexus not having expandable storage is a deal breaker for me.

You can expand the storage by connecting a memory stick/HDD into the micro-USB port by using some cable (can't currently remember the cables name). And there have been rumours of a Nexus 10 coming soon. Anyways 229 is probably too little for TF300 because here where I live the 32 GB one without the dock is 419.

If you can afford it, then, I'd go for the TF700. I downloaded the "free preview" of Watchmen from Barnes & Noble and it was pretty cool, but it was also pretty obvious that on a high-def screen it would absolutely rock. I'm not much of a comics guy, but if I were, that's definitely what I'd do.

I second this, got my from Amazon, next day shipping, Like new, for 269 I believe just a couple weeks ago. Still had ICS on it (no promise there though) so if I had wanted to retain the ICS bootloader I would have been able to.
I'm smitten with mine, although I really REALLY wish dev. would move forward a little farther.
Nice tablet though! My fiance was able to trade her BS prime in for a brand new TF700 at Best Buy, straight trade even thought we have had it for almost a year due to the issues it is known for. Color me jealous
The s4 is currently on sale at att online only for 29.99. The lady on the phone gave me an early upgrade+free overnight for it. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-s-4-16gb-black-mist-refurb.html
If you cancel early, might be a good way to get a S4 somewhat cheap. Nothing will beat the 50% glitch that happened last month though.

I just added a line and got one for my wife, I'll sell her S3 and use that money to buy out her first line. Total money spent $30, S3 will sell for $200, buying out other line $82. Money leftover for case, screen protector and activation fee...$85ish. Money well spent. Thanks OP! Btw I think I got the last one lol, says out of stock now that I placed my order..oops!

I just ordered one as well. I was really trying to see what kind of deposit I thought I'd have to pay. They've always asked me for one. I was surprised & they approved me this time. I even got an iPhone 4 w/ 8 Gig for .99 cents.
I went and got it because of this deal. I really didn't want to upgrade yet, but my Nexus S is really starting to show its age (bless its heart). Custom ROMs can only take you so far with a device that old. I really don't want an S4 (hardware buttons including the ugly physical home button, front Samsung branding, little dev community support compared to my Nexus S), but the deal was too good to pass up. I guess I could sell this for $400-450 (maybe more?) by the time the next Nexus phone is out. Anyway, I can't wait for it to arrive so I can experience some of that 1080p Gotdamoled goodness. I may even keep it if the bootloader situation and community support gets better.

Heh, no need to get your panties in a bunch. It's called an opinion. Learn to deal with it.

I also came from a nexus s... Mine was the sprint ns4g variant. Haven't looked back. It was a total night and day difference between the phones. My ns4g has been reduced to a bare bones cm7.1 mp3 player.

An opinion is one thing, but dont bad mouth the community. There are developers busting their asses working on roms for free, show some respect. Or better yet learn to do something yourself

I see, you seem to think I was talking about the community. I wasn't. I was badmouthing Samsung. In regards to the community, I was simply stating the current situation of things. The community support for this phone, in which there's not much going on, is a result of Samsung's and the carriers' doing.
I'm not sure how what I said could be misinterpreted to mean I'm bad-mouthing any entity other than Samsung. Calm down, read, and stop looking for something negative.

Well the s3 gsm versions are still selling for $300 and up used. It should still hold its value at least until the s5 or whatever comes out.

Just sold my skyrocket for $220 on eBay. I'd say that held value pretty well. Listing my wife's S3 today, that should sell for $250+, and I really only need it to sell for $200 in order for her S4 to be completely free including activation.

$220 for your Skyrocket? That's good to know. ATT was willing to give $55 credit those cheap mofos.
My S4 is coming Monday but I'm not sure I can part w/ my Skyrocket

Yup, but it did sell with 2 cases plus 2 extra batteries. But still, I didn't expect that much. It was hard for me to part with my skyrocket as well, but wifey said sell it or no S4 lol. Out of respect I agreed. I don't regret it, I love my S4. I also got offered $55, and I told them I could sell it as a paperweight for that price.
