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?..? scratching head
Great price for new or like new viewsonic. Congrats!
I'm in Pittsburgh. Want to get me one? When I search, closest for me is NY

I am in Florida, and would love to get one at that price plus shooing, and your gas money of course.
Holy crap! I'm going to return mine to Staples but I can't find the Holy crap! receipt!
I just got a return too $279.
Damn! That is some discount. I'm going to have to run by the Sears Outlet near me to see what I can find. Thanks for the tip!
I tried to price match with Staples since I ordered mine from there last week but they said they couldn't since it says it's reconditioned not new. That's a good deal but probably too much hassle for me to return it and then buy it again from Sears.
I am in Ohio, too. Where did you get yours in Ohio? Sears store or outlet store? Thanks.
Reading this again, it looks like you ordered online at searsoutlet.com then pickup at a regular sears store? Is that what you did?
Looking at searsoutlet.com now, while I can search for "viewsonic" and it shows the gtablet, it doesn't provider any further details. I'm minutes away from an Sears Outlet store that I'll stop by after work and see what they have in stock.
Can someone provide more details on this? Are we sure its a new device or is it refurb? I just got mine @ Sears for $379...
related question
What I am wondering is, are the refurbs/returns listed on the sears outlet site the only ones? So if I walk in to the nearest sears, where there are none listed according to sears outlet, do I have a chance of finding one?

Really? I am to, and I picked mine up at Ross Park Mall in the North Hills (Sears).. They should have some left, unless they were cleaned out in less than 24 hours. Good luck!
I heard about this, checked it out online, and it said the closest available one was in Upstate NY...I am in Philadelphia.
Luckily I have family right near the store in UNY, so I had it picked up for me.
Within minutes of getting the message that it was picked up. I checked the web site, and the closest available was now in Alabama. Act fast.
Is anyone else having troubles getting the product to display on the Sears Outlet site today?
Wondering if it's just me...

Myndwire,
Interesting...you seem to be using my phone too
Was the one you got in Ross Park Mall refurbished/returned?
I got mine in Beaver Valley Mall ~9 days ago just bc I was visiting family. I'm in greenfield so it's a hop skip and a jump (pray dear Lord there is no ice flood or snow)
Obviously, most of us would much rather return there ~$430-$480 purchase and buy one that costs under ~$300!! i'm gonna check searsoutlet again. maybe i'll stop at the outlet on Main Street in Lawrenceville on the way to Children's.
could anyone possibly order it for me in USA and send it over to UK (I will pay all the costs, it will still probably work out cheaper)?
I'm going to write up a separate thread on SEARS Outlet
Brain dump time.
I know all about how this works - my device was a "refurb".
@roebeet, thanks for clarifying about the refurb as that was my main question.
Hey guys, I work for Best Buy and I thought I would post here just to give anyone who cares a little bit of an update. As of this morning, we were told to pull all the HP product and ship it back. Then, we got an email (not sure if it was just our district or not) that said we could sell them for $99 and $149 respectively! So we did, the 16GBs sold within 2 minutes and the ~20 or so 32GBs we had were gone in less than 15 mins. What kinda sucked was that I wanted one, but you couldn't buy them if you were on the clock When we were notified that we could sell them around 4:45PM, as many employees that could took their lunch and bought them and the employees that were leaving at 5PM bought the last of them.
As of right now, we aren't supposed to get any other stock in and any shipments we would have had are getting sent back to HP. We (Best Buy) has a very good relationship with HP so they don't have a problem taking them back and selling them.
Some stores may not have gotten the notification that they can sell their remaining stock yet, but hopefully they did. You may have a hard time finding one, but good luck! If you guys have any questions on this, I will try to answer as best as I can.
remain 99 dollars?

Sorry, I edit my post to include that. Yes, $99 for the 16GB and $149 for the 32GB.
I hope you get one viper, would love to see your rom on it when they port android to it
I tell ya...it's been a pretty convoluted event with this Best Buy B.S. At one moment they say they will ship all TPs back to HP and then the next moment they are selling them off. I actually got one yesterday morning for the full price and waiting for it to go on sale. Then Best Buy reports they won't go on sale. So I return mine for a refund yesterday after the report. The people at the store confirm they won't go on sale too. Then today they go on sale and are already sold out.
That's BB for you.

Well I have the Transformer now bug would love a Touchpad, my dad bought one but he doesn't know if he wants to keep it or not so I will take it off his hands if he doesn't. I tried to but one yesterday but you had to be off the clock which sucked.

Yes it was screwed up. They are sending the rest back but they were under a lot of pressure to sell what they had in stock. Even worse is that if you bought it from BB before the price drop, they won't match it. And our store told us that people could not return them if they bought them at the sale price.

U.S. Best Buy date 5/6/12 just announced today for preorder. Looks like the handy gift card method again.

Instant rebates mostly and Sprint stores usually won't give as good a deal for accessories.

I had no problem with them when I pre-ordered my Evo 4G, picked it up on launch day with no fuss. I'm not a fan of BB in general, but the instant rebate and the early pre-order date won me over the first time. Why not again? Plus, if they're still offering the $50 trade-in credit for my Evo 4G, that's a lot of reasons to walk through their doors.
Doent this concern the LTE version of the phone?
So it is the One-xl
Different forum for that.
So moving now
I'm going to move this thread as its not concerned with the HTC One XL. If the admins choose a combined solution, then we can move these back here at a later date. There are enough hardware and software differences that I believe this phone will have its own fora.
Better insurance

I like to order from bestbuy mobile because their insurance, although $2 more then Sprint, theres no copay if u ef up the phone. $100 copay through sprints insurion service. Also they have the buyback program which 22months from now, you sell it back and have enough for the next upgrade.Plus I get the upgrade through my number, they switch to my number right away. SPRINT makes u wait 30 days.
Exactly.

I went to the link and it says to submit your email to be notified when it's available. So am I missing something? Cause if I can pre order today in store I may end up doing that. But sprint's site does say pre order and get it before others get a glimpse.
For everyone who is preordering anyway, might as well do so through Target Mobile or Radioshack and save $50.
Proof for Target Mobile:

Okay, so dumb question regarding preorders (only phone I ever preordered was an iPhone for the wife)
is it possible to do a store pickup for these preorders? I'd love to save an extra $50, but all my parcel carriers require a signature, and given the fact that we actually work for a living, no one is ever home to sign.

Yes, they typically offer the option to have it shipped to you or to pick up in the store.
Thanks for posting! good lookin' out!

I just came from my local radio shack and its confirmed. 149 plus a bunch of music downloads.
Cool thing is that I'm trading in my SGSII and they are giving me 300 store credit for it! I just need to wait until Sunday to pre order it.

I wonder if amazon or bestbuy will give a discount as well
Edit: RadioShack trade-in
Hmmm looks like they will give me about $80 for my old captivate

$100 for my 3 year old 3GS. So, $50 to upgrade to the newest best phone on the market, and stay grandfathered in to my unlimited data?
HECK. YES.
I wonder if they care if the phone has a custom rom on it.

I'll just pay the 159 and use the store credit for accessories and such when it comes out. hopefully RadioShack carries all the HTC accessories when they are released.
We can pre order from radioshack online right? And can I ask them to ship it to my house?
If you can preorder it online, I don't see where. I'd love to do that though... have it shipped to my work from either RadioShack or Target..

It may just be at stores... As long as it comes to my home it doesn't matter to me.
So other than the issues with outright returns, do you give anything else up buying from a non-corporate store? I've only ever bought from the ATT store so don't want to get surprised by something if I buy one of these from Radio Shack.
Hello XDA,
I missed the small window of opportunity to purchase the nexus 5 from the play store (16 gb), and now it is almost a month out of stock. I am looking to buy the Nexus 5, but can't find a well-priced retailer. BestBuy andRadioshack (along with my carrier) tack on an extra $100 , which I really don't want to pay. Has anyone successfully purchased the nexus 5 from somewhere other than the Play store for less than $450? If so, is it still available from that location?
Thanks,
ccrama
