Was $80.00 yesterday and noticed it just dropped to $50 so wanted to let everyone know who wants to snag one up. Hopefully i don't have any issues with it. Anyone know if there dropping support or coming out with new ones. Would rather get a new one if so.

BB sold these in stores for $50 couple months ago. And Target had clearance sale for as cheap as $15 a month or so ago as well. No information for any upcoming player yet.
If Google can fix the dreaded video brightness problem, it is worth the price, IMO. But for now, it is useless as video player.

Im going to test and see if mine has the issue and if i can live with it. May have to return it if its to bad. Do you know if custom ROM's remedy the issue ?
Every NP running Marshmallow 6.0 has the issue. No need to test. Google has now admitted it openly(https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=188667). No idea when the fix will come. It's problem with Android 6.0 (Nexus 5X and 6P are also affected).
I see this often but its been $50 on the ASUS store for weeks and they even offer a cheap bundle with the controller
I just ordered mine about 10 minutes ago. I used the $20 Best Buy gift card from using Android Pay!! Looking forward to picking this thing apart and seeing what it is capable of.

Sick! You're going to love it!
Thanks for OP, I got another NP from BB. Just set it up today and it is running Android 5.0. The YouTube PQ is night and day compared to my other NP running Android 6.0.1 (washed out color). I know if I leave it plugged in, it will auto-update to 6.0.1 and get the same crappy PQ. So, I packed it up and wait for Google to release the fix. Android 6.0.1 does not contain the fix for NP.

Yeah I just bought 2. Planning to root both and install TWRP. Hopefully if it's 6.0 I will flash a custom rom based on 5.1. I'm hoping we can do that. I'm hoping it doesn't come with 6.0.

Same here. Was waiting for a good price again to get a third NP. Picked one up at the local BB for $30 after the AP promo gift card. :good:
Just purchased my first on today at BB. Trying to figure out my first mod to get kodi installed and working well.

What do you mean by mod? Kodi can be installed directly from Google Play store.

Lmao...see what being an AT&T customer will do to you? I was expecting the worst. Logged into my account. Downloaded Kodi. Added a source which auto-config what i needed. Working good soo far.
If you like Kodi, the Marshmallow video bug does not affect it(it has its own video rendering engine). So, that's a good thing.
I personally hate the interface (it is like stuck in 90's UI).

I think Kodi has a few different themes you can download. Might like a different one more.

I just got a Viewsonic gtablet from Sears today (was on sale $379.00),looks like it can be very powerful... but I am lost ,it needs some updates... no market ... Very fast on the net... no flash at all,wont play any youtubes
I hope someone know s something about this tablet , I cant find any help other than calling Viewsonics help number
this is the newest pad i ever seen
just saw this device today on engadget.. ive been looking for a phone/tablet but this baby is fast enough that I might just use my g1 for calls and use this for everything else.. I wonder if there is going to be any modding for this device? Wonder if we can get marketplace that would be nice.
I am very interested in this tablet as well. If someone could get the market working, it would probably be the best android tablet out there right now.
I'm probably going to call my local SEARS, tomorrow - I pre-ordered an Archos 101, but this thing might actually be better (and available quicker). It's a little pricier than I was looking to spend, but it's probably very fast.
@catttman,
also interested in the viewsonic. apparently sears sold out its preorders online. can you confirm if its running 2.2 and the ram? Hopefully the ram is 1GB. Take some pics of the device

2.2 yes.... ram 512 memory
fast.... missing the market and No flashplayer (yet)
The Viewsonic 10 inch Android powered G-Tablet will be available for purchase via Sears online and in-store beginning this Tuesday. The tablet features Android 2.2, Nvidia’s Tegra 2 chipset running at 1GHz, 512MB RAM, 16GB of internal flash memory, microSDHC expansion slot, 10-inch capacitive display and a front-facing camera for video calls via Wi-Fi.
Pricing is currently set at $379.99, but the online store incorrectly points to a listing for the ViewSonic ViewPad which is a similar tablet that includes dual-boot capability with Android and Windows 7.

Someone posted that video. It shows that we really need someone smarter than I to get on this thing. This thing needs stock android ASAP, or at least something that removes the overlay and gets the normal apps on it. I am thinking of getting one if my local sears has them and a good return policy. The key will be installing a hacked version of market on it. Or if possible just installing the market APK and editing the file that tricks it into thinking it's a nexus.
I also purchased one tonight and it is utter junk with this TapnTap UI loaded on it. I did manage to load Launcher Pro and this thing was FLYING! Lets get this project moving!
from that youtube video:
tap n tap UI looks decent. I'm worried about the wifi issue. looks like i'll stop by sears tomorrow and hopefully can pick one up.

That video doesnt really show how bad that UI is. I bought this thing cause i saw a review on it. The guy on the video said it had stock froyo...which would have been amazing. Also the LCD has some really bad viewing angles...
Hopefully Tuesday I'll be picking one up... Or at least trying to convince my wife that I need this. I'll just tell her how awesome Angry Birds will be on it...
We need some serious support for this. First 10" tegra 2 tablet in the US! Can't wait to see what it can do with XDA behind it.
Hi.
I remember the early hype saying it had a 3g sim card slot, does it?
Thanks

The guy that posted an unboxing on youtube mentioned it looked like it had a cutout for it, but there wasn't a slot and it was blocked in. Maybe it will outside the US.

I live south of boston and the sears I went to didn't have theirs yet. Hopefully that means they will be getting them soon if the Boston one had them.

I haven't heard any rumors, but I'd highly recommend going with a carrier-unlocked device. I got the Galaxy Nexus a few months ago and ported my phone number to Google Voice, and haven't looked back since.

Thanks ill have a look in to google voice, not heard of this before!
T-Mobile are offering the best deal at the moment buy direct from them and the monthly tarrif will be £3 cheaper each month than if I upgraded from somewhere else so the hansdest will be branded !! are they easy to unbrand?
Still have to wait a few days till I get my S3 - don't like it. Hope tomorrow
Was just listening to a pod cast and the same question popped up about getting the gs3. They never mentioned anything but speculation at this moment and getting the gs3 if you are ready wouldn't disappoint you since its a great piece of hardware.
I know it just came out, but I do not need to buy one until February. Should I wait?
No you ough wait until next year when they realse the N6 i think.

If you are waiting for Google Play Store, please don't wait for them. The best you can do is get free shipping or playstore credit. For retail, the price starts to come down after a few months. If it is close to Christmas, Easter or any major holidays then there are great deals to be taken.
On a new device like this, Google doesn't usually reduce the price. They may offer additional incentives for the holiday season, such as Play Store credit, free shipping, etc., but that's about it. The price won't be reduced until just before the next nexus phone is released, probably 4th quarter 2014. Of course, there's always the possibility of some crazy event affecting the norm... but I wouldn't count on it.
Phone is already cheap for what you get. Check out the Moto G for $200.

on sale!!?? just like the other user said the moto g mite be the phone for u.. the N5 is already crazy cheap for what u get.. do be honest one of the main reasons i got the n5 is the development it gets.. this is my first nexus phone and i love it.. i have had some many top of the line phone in the past 3 years and none of them come close to the love this phone gets.. i will never get another htc one.. or a galaxy phone again... im sticking with nexus:good:
I am fine with paying $349.That is a great price for the phone. What I am trying to decide is whether to purchase it now or wait for February when I will actually get to use the phone. I want to purchase it now, so that I can have it already. However, if it it might get reduced between now and then, it would be wise to wait. In the past have the prices stayed constant until the new model came out?

It dont get any better than what the price is on play store. Hell, I got a 32GB one and it was cheaper than what T-Mobile wanted for it. There's your savings lol

I'm done with Galaxy phones too. I booted up my S4 today to update it to the new MK2 OTA update because I'm getting it ready to sell. After a few weeks with my N5 I had already forgotten what a pain in the a$$ Knox is. Never again!

I just ordered mine last night from best buy, will arrive on friday for me. Im really excited to try vr for the first time since virtual boy in the 90's lol. I am hoping some brilliant developers can modify the playstation remote play app or something like it so we can stream our console games to the gear vr!!!
I am very interested in this hardware but it's still nowhere to be seen in the EU. I have some questions about it though as I primarily want it to view movies and series with in bed at night. Is it compatible with other applications like Kodi and mxplayer or it's a closed ecosystem?

I just got one and I'm not 100% sure that it's good for watching videos. I watched a TV show on it and the quality/resolution wasn't very good. I need to experiment some more. Definitely want to try one out in person before buying I think.
Should I get the OPO, or wait for the confirmed OnePlus Two? I mean, in a blog post, 3 winners of a photo contest get hands on w/ the two in hong kong. It's coming in Q3. Should I wait? Or gun it? I am stuck w/ an apple iphone 5 so :/
You should go for it. The price doesn't get better than what it is right now, $249 for the 64GB, and $349 with one year of Dropbox Pro. Plus, I read somewhere that OP is going to use the invite system to sell the OP2, which unless you don't mind the hassle is kind of a pain in the ass. I am keeping mine until I get more details about the OP2, if it doesn't come with a fingerprint support, I will probably move to next Nexus 6, but keep the OPO as my back up phone.

If I was faced with the same decision I'd still buy the OnePlus One now. It's cheap, you don't need an invite anymore, and it's a beast of a phone. The OnePlus Two isn't going to be as cheap, and they'll be reverting to the invite system again.

Yup, just go for it, considering the price.
I just received mine Saturday & I tell you the truth, I am very satisfied even after ditching my HTC One. I enjoy everything about this device & it sure is a beast indeed. Go for it, you won't regret it.

It's hard to know to be honest... I've had the OPO since July of last year and, as everyone in this thread has said, it's an amazing phone, and that doesn't even include the price. I would say it depends on what you're interested in. If you like having the 'latest and greatest' phone with the newest CPU / GPU and most RAM (like me ) etc, I'd wait. But if you just want a great phone that will be able to run the next few versions of Android and all the apps in the world (minus some future games that require OpenGL ES 3.1 or something, but that's a good way off yet!) and has a great community to back that up (even when OnePlus leave it behind), as well as an amazing price, I'd go for it.
Had the same kinda question facing me. Stick with my Nexus 5 until the end of the year when the OP2 or new Nexus' are out, or go for the OPO.
Went for the OPO. Blows my N5 out of the water and will take me until the end of the year. If the phones i mentioned above are too expensive I'm happy keeping the OPO into next year.
Helps i got £100 for my N5.
Feels like such a premium phone. Took it to work on Friday and people were amazed that it cost so little.
Still a fantastic phone for the price had mine well over a year and still going strong was considering upgrading this month but I am sticking with the OPO for longer. It does everything I need on a phone the screen is still good, battery life is excellent, takes decent daylight photos and is fluid on CM12.1.

Hey guys, this seems like the most relevant thread to post in, but I agree with some of the previous comments, I really like the specs on the OPO, I currently have an HTC M8, with the same chipset, which runs phenomenal, however AOSP ROMS aren't the best for HTC Devices, they've always suffered from a lot of bugs, and GPE support has started to lag behind with the M9 being out.
I just purchased a 64gb model and am anxiously awaiting for it to arrive. My question is, how is the overall build quality of this device? I wasn't impressed with the N5 build quality and from videos and pics, this phone looks solid, but I've read about numerous users complaining about touch screen issues. Is this phone pretty solid? And how are AOSP ROMS on this device? Pretty bug free? Thanks!
