Black Friday Deal - Acer Iconia Tab A100

Just a little FYI. Here in the states, Best Buy will have the Iconia A100 for $189 on Black Friday. Was thinking about picking one up, but the DEV community is not that large I see.
Anybody else thinking about picking one up?
http://bfads.net/Best-Buy/Name/Page3

I came to the A100 from a rooted Asus Transformer (running Revolver, and a 1.3 ghz OC kernel). Honestly, the awesome form factor of the 7-inch + the fact that Acer promises a January ICS update means I don't actually miss the XDA support all that much.
I mean, if they get CWM working, I'd root, but as is, it isn't like being stuck with a Samsung Galaxy phone still running Eclair or something.

Nope, I am note missing the XDA support either because the firmware seems pretty stable and ICS in January is a plus.

I'm for sure picking one of these up from Bestbuy on Black friday.
Kinda disappointed to see the lack of support on XDA, but heres to hoping we get some custom roms sometime.
I figure I can manage with the pure honeycomb for now.

Guys I live in UK but would love to buy one of these at 190 dollars. If anyone can kindly offer me shipping to UK, pleaassee PM me! Btw how long does this offer last?

You have to activate a 2 year Verizon Hotspot plan in order to buy that for that price.... I am a new member and its not letting me paste the link but you can look in. blackfridaydeals dot net on pg 2 of best buy scanned deals.

mtbbuilder....are you sure about that? From what I have read they will have it for $189 and you can get an additional $100 off if you subscribe to a 2 yr Verizon Hotspot plan.

I will disagree with you here....you may end up being correct, however you can also interpret that as receive an additional $100 off if you sign up for 2-year verizon hotspot contract.
I would think it would explain in the add that the $189 reflects the additional $100 off. If it really is $289 on BF its a good deal but certainly not a rush out and buy deal.

The add said exactly what i wrote... why dont you google it your self and find out? Misinterpretation for hoping that it is that price is your choice, but i just told you what the add said... you can misinterperate as free as well if you want .

I've read the ad and looked at the picture and I disagree with you, why is it so hard for you to understand that?
Here is exactly what I see in the ad scan....
Top Bar Reads:
"Save $100 on Any Tablet With Purchase and 2-year Activation of a Verizon Mobile Hotspot"
Then I see 3 tablets: Toshiba Thrive 10.1 Tablet, Acer Iconia 7" Tab, and Pandigital Novel 7" eReader.
Now...here is why I disagree with you (and really dude you need to switch to decaf)
If you look at the Pandigital Novel 7" eReader for 69.99 immediately underneath that you will see it says "After Savings". To me that suggests the $100 is baked into the Pandigital Price but it does not say that for the Thrive or the Acer Iconia A100. I would imagine if they say it for the pandigital then they would have also said it for the Thrive and Iconia.
As a matter of Fact the verbiage under the Iconia is as follows (and the picture has "Hot Buy" tag on it).....
189.99
Acer Iconia 7" Tablet
Play games, watch HD movies, social networks and more.
Now in pocket size with Android 3.2 Honeycomb OS
(A100-07UOBU)SKU-3245029
Minimum 4 per store
So your free to disagree with me just as I am of you.

Ok, just a few things to point out here my friend. First and foremost the $100 is not baked in to the pandigital because if you see in the bottom is says "SAVE $50". Now if $100 was baked in it, the tablet/reader would have been for $19.99, since the original price is $119.99.
The question then rises up; "WHERE IS $100 BAKED IN?" the only others i can see is thrive or iconia...
Sure we both can disagree and find out on black Friday but what ever you said simple did not made any sense (for me tags like 'hot buy' and stuff like that is for attraction) , where as i do appreciate your counter agreements and would wanted them to be more concrete.
I think that what happens when you drink too much of decaf... you see the world totally different than others.
I am still open to arguments; since its a good deal i would love to put hands on it and that's the reason i researched on it.

Oh Jesus, enough already.

You will have to line up the night before at BB to get it. They will hand out vouchers to those in line to get one of the 4 they have. For me it would never be worth that kind of crap.

I don't think so. I think all the early bird specials are on the first page. What I'm hoping for is that it is indeed $189.99 (without contract) and that Walmart will price match it (assuming they have stock).
Here are a couple of other reasons why I think the $189.99 is without contract rebate.
#1. Acer Iconia A500 (10.1" will be on sale at various other retailers for $299) so I would imagine they would have a hard time selling the A100 for $10 cheaper (without the rebate)
#2. Asus Transformer is going to be $299 at HHGregg on BF....so again see #1 as why the $189.99 price makes sense.
#3. With the Nook Tablet and Kindle fire at $249 and $199 respectively I think acer wanted to make a statement since these devices are now competitors.
One other thing....4 is the minimum.....I assume at this price they will have quite a bit more.

Ok so if the Pandigital is normally $119.99 - $50 savings making it 69.99 doesn't that just further support my argument? There is no way the Pandigital is normally $219.99 which is what would be needed to make the final price $69.99.
Assuming
Original Price - Verizon Hotspot Discount - $50 savings
219.99 - 100 - 50 = 69.99

Well your arguments make sense and i also thought about them man. Considering that ASUS TRANSFORMER will ON SALE FOR ONLY 249.99 AT Best BUY!!!
Also the door opens at 12:00 am !!
But again that statement kills it all! if it was only for the Pandigital they could have specified.. why did they put 3 tablets under 1 statement?

The reason is simple, they will make it as confusing as possible to get you in the store.
BB is known for misleading consumers and retract on published deals.

I'll tell you what if we are confused by it then wally world will be completely baffled. So just in case go early to Wally world for the price match just in case it does require the contract (or BB runs out of stock and Wally world no longer price matches).

Thinking about getting rid of the ol' A100

I'm one of those guys that churns a lot--I always need something new to tinker/tweak-- so the lack of CWM (and ROMS by proxy) on our tabs is getting to me.
Anyway, I'll probably be putting it up on eBay and Craigslist soon. What should I ask for it?
-8gb A100 in perfect condition (and with original packaging)
- the Blurex leather case on Amazon (and as seen in the Accessories sub-forum)
- an HDMI-to-mini hdmi cable
- a 32gb micro SD.
Think I could get $300 for that package?
Should I wait 'til Acer updates it to ICS?
I think you will probably have to go lower but you can always list it at that price first specially on Craigslist cause they ALWAYS try to haggle pricing. As far as price standpoint the acer can be had for $249 at best buy, sears, and kmart online. I'm sure stores are the same. 32gb I've see go as low as $29 online. HDMI cable can be had for $10 at amazon for a 15 footer. Cases can be had for $10-20 on amazon as well.
so 249+29+10 or 20 = 290 or 300 (all new)
For the most part most dont really consider tax unless you point that out.
Damn, you're right--when'd they drop to $250 in stores??
I might just have to keep the thing.

I know it sux. I myself ended up returning the one I bought from frys black friday which cost me $275 (250+tax) and ended up buying one on craigslist for $250 just to save $25 so I wont lose so much later when I sell it. But you never know, you could get lucky and someone might not even know theyre going for 250 now.
Also at this time I don't know of any other 7 inch tablet that can compete with the a100 including its price point besides on battery life. What other tablet were you considering?

For a similar price range hes probably has to settle for a Flyer. Which I read is a great device even on single core since its running at 1.5ghtz and has custom roms and great battery life. But may not see ICS and might not multitask as well as dual core.
Oh, no other tablet on the market can touch the A100.
I just find myself reaching for my HTC Desire when I want to fritter away some time and figured I might see if I could get some money back for now and see how the tablet market looks in a year or two.
Are you in nyc I will give you 200 just for the tablet

You probably won't find a lot of ROM work right now on many devices as ICS is a short time away. A lot of devs are not using the time to work a ROM for HC only to turn around and re-work for ICS.
I had an A100 for about two weeks and truly liked the device. Returned it due to battery life, minimal internal storage and IMO very challenging viewing angles.
Got the Samsung Tab 7.0+ and must say it rocks! No ROMs yet but root and CWM available. Pricey, yes. But on track for ICS and the specs are excellent. Best 7" tab available right now IMO. But only till the Samsung 7.7 releases. The Super AMOLED display is killer from what I hear.
Just curious, where are you getting this tablet in the US for anything less then $330? BB has no stock and will not NOT let you order online. They show no date for inventory either. Amazon is the only place I found for this and the price has fluctuated in the last week between, get ready, $460 and $330. It is now at $330. Everywhere else online I try says out of stock. This tablet sells for more then its bigger brother a500.

BestBuy currently shows $249 "in stock" at my nearest store, 92691 zip code. (Out of curiosity, last week it showed in stock at multiple area stores at that price, so I guess they do move pretty quick.)
Of course, I bought mine on Black Friday for $189, getting there late morning without much of a crowd nor long lines. In fact, I went in thinking about a $200 deal on a Blackberry Playbook or Kindle Fire, but seeing the A100 for ten bucks less was a no-brainer.

Sorry man, I'm in the mid-west and not really looking to part it out (I think it makes the most sense to sell it as a package).
Mods: I really just posted this to gather information--if this has crossed the line into 'advertising,' don't hesitate to move it to the XDA Market section (or just delete it).

I've seen them go in and out of stock at local Walmarts and BestBuys for the $250 price. If some one really wanted one, a little bit of daily checking stock and willingness to drive could probably get one for $250.
You can also try craigslist.
Got mine at Microcenter in Cincinnati for $229, minus $100 gift card, $129 out the door. Best purchase of the year.
i will sell mine as well since i cant install rom on it
kinda pissed me off since acer doesnt give a flying **** about this tablet.
280 you can get mine barely use it. come with case and a 16GB
At least wait for iCS love then sell it

[Q] Is this link Legit. Cheap Nexus's?

http://www.storebestshop.com/product/new-samsung-galaxy-nexus-gt-i9250
Im wondering if I can buy from this website.
If not, does anyone have one for sale for 500 or less? I want this so bad for my birthday, I'm just 15 but we honestly can't afford it. I have 150 and my dad will pay the rest but he says he doesn't think 600+ is worth it. I found some craigslist postings with it for like 400 or less but none of them are GSM
Thanks.
I would NOT trust it. It doesn't have a web of trust rating and looks shady as hell.
Yeah thats what i thought.
I really REALLY want this phone though. I didn't get anything last christmas, last birthday, this christmas, or this birthday so i told my dad that he owes me. But 650 - 700 is a hell of a lot of money, and I fear I might break it anyway in a year or so. Then the value would be lost. IDK, i just wish craigslist had the GSM version.

I found a GSM GN on Craigslist, brand-new in box, and paid 580. Just have to keep an eye out. The guy bought it for his girlfriend and found out that it was just too big for her small hands, so it was used for like a grand total of twenty minutes.
Considering how I paid about 580 for my previous Nexus S when I bought it from Best Buy... retail price of 549.95 + tax + stupid LCD fee even though it doesn't even HAVE an LCD... $580 was totally cool with me. And the phone is awesome, no screen banding at all, undervolts like a champ and works flawlessly.
NegriElectronics has the Canadian GN for sale for 595.50. If you use the GIFT promotion code it will take 30 dollars off, bringing the total to 565.50. I just ordered one from them last night and it shipped today. This was the cheapest thy I found the phone.

Boo Hoo -- Who says you are "owed anything." Do you have a roof over your head, food on the table and clothes on your back? Maybe you should not be so selfish -- and spend the 150 you do have on something for your father to show some appreciation. Get a job if you don't have one and save for it.
This is the problem with this country -- everyone thinks they are owed things and they have to have it now. If you have to save for it it will mean more and maybe you would treat it with respect and not break it within a year.
OH - and who pays the 30 bucks a month data charge -- and what about the voice plan?

When I was 15 (now 19, full time job, etc) I worked my ass off to get the first iPhone. That thing was $650 because they didn't have subsidies for them yet. Get a job. I don't feel one ounce of sympathy for you. You have all the necessities to live, you should be THANKFUL for that. A Galaxy Nexus, while amazing, is not a necessity. I don't know what you expect to receive from a post like this, someone to give you a Galaxy Nexus? You should have known you'd get bashed for this.

I have to agree. I got my first job when I was 12 and have been working for everything I wanted since then. You say that your family really can't afford to get you this phone so maybe its not a good idea to make your family buy you something that you don't even need if it will have a negative effect on your loved ones.
As for prices. I picked up a seal box galaxy nexus off kijjii for $470. You just have to look around for people selling them personally. You won't find anything for less than $500 in a store.
My advice, get a job.

Thats great news for folks who bought from googleplay, shame i bought mine in dixons :crying:
True. It doesn't count for those who purchased them in a store. I guess that would be the store's policy at that point. If Google offered it to ALL 16gb users who purchased after the deadline, then they could effectively double up on the rebate: Pricematch in the store AND credit from Google.
WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT 8GB VERSIONS? Holy hell, it's like we don't exist. I would like something at least from the fact they don't even sell my device anymore.

Not sure if pissed or happy because rare due to size not being made anymore. Lol
now i wished i bought my device from GooglePlay. Damn. Got mine from GameStop with tax for 16Gb was USD272.
It's complete BS! I bought my 8Gb from the Play store, but as soon as I heard of the 32Gb I called for an exchange. They denied that model existed or would ever exist and said the can't exchange something they don't sell. Then they couldn't even return mine since I was a couple days out of their return window. I couldn't see paying the extra $50 for another 8Gb, but 4x as much makes a bit more sense. Either way I'm stuck now.
Too bad I bought mine back in August :/

Asus is doing something similar directly on their website for UK customers at least...
If you bought your N7 before Oct 30th, they are offering £25 voucher to spend at the Asus store. You just need to register your N7, and they will send an email asking for proof of purchase. Then you'll get the voucher/coupon code later. You can register N7's bought from any authorised retailer. I got mine from PC World :cyclops:
I pre-ordered my 8GB from Google Play and had it RMA'ed once. I think its unreasonable to expect a company to refund on a fully working product that they barely made any money of in the first place, just because they released an updated version months after release.
I can't help but laugh at the people getting pissy. Am I upset that I paid $200 for an 8GB version and then just around the corner they released the 16GB for that much? Yeah. Am I gonna pout and stomp and whine about it? No. Because that's the price of being an early adopter. Now i'm not the type that can just drop money on a new device. You have no idea how many dice I flipped and coins I rolled trying to decide if I should adopt or not. In the end, I ended up getting it even though financially I shouldn't have. But I did, and I early adopted. You should always expect the worse when you adopt early, and then not complain when you get shafted because...well...that's what happens. It's a tough and unfair game. That's life. Suck it up and deal with it like an adult. I can still turn around and sell my N7 for $200 on Craigslist to some guy who has no idea about all of this and not think twice about it. But, I honestly don't use that much memory and I rarely travel so I have no need to store my music and movies on it. I tether it to my phone and there's all my music from amazon and pandora. I watched a movie on it ONCE while I was waiting for my car to be fixed. But that's it. Sad this happened, but I understand that's how the game works. It's not fair and if I had a Google employee in front of me i'd let him know, but I don't so what's the point in crying about it?

I disagree. It's perfectly fair for a company to upgrade its products months after they were released. They have absolutely no obligation to refund anything especially as they already are barely making profit and bundled them with Google play credit.

I'm just saying if they are offering people who bought a 16GB version something, why is it that us 8GBer's get left behind like we are nothing? We bought a product that isn't even being sold anymore, I just feel like they could give us something. "A sorry you bought the wrong one" letter at least.

doesn't matter to me much.. Plus the one my friend bought me over the summer, was long before they even posted that. So I wouldn't even qualify.
That is a great gesture from google. As said above they did not have to offer anyone nothing. I got lucky with Walmart.. I spent some time in the Walmart store a few summers ago working on there automated doors and door locks.. Got to know many people there.. So I took my 16 gb nexus 7 back 24 days after purchase and the manager get me a refund. I then went to Office depot and bought a 32 version...
Im not exchanging this one. I do not need the 3/4 g version. Im going to get a nexus 4 when they come out. My phone is now 3 years old. So this is good timing. I can tether.
I Wish google would offer everyone some kind of deal . But life is not always fair in our own eyes.
Well I got 50 bux back from Amex. I posted my charge, told them the situation and they understood and processed the credit within the next few days. Score!
I am not saying that I am deserving or it was my right to get any funds back, but I figured I'd pose my case and ask. I felt there was not hurting by asking, the worst scenario would be that they would have said no. But they didn't.
Got mine on 7/12/12.

Honestly, I can't see why. If you buy a car, and a new engine comes out replacing yours 2 years later, you wouldn't ask for any compensation or feel stabbed. And we all now that technology is a fast market, where things are constantly changing. I don't feel bad at all for having spent 250€ on my 16GB. And, while I think it's nice that Google offers a refund, I don't think that's neccesary for those who bought the tablet (like me) one month before the 32GB came out. We all knew the possibility of a better model being out later, and we decided to spend our money anyway. We have exactly what we paid for. So what could we possibly complain about?

How much can I sell my note2?

I'm hoping not to start a flame war here...let me start by saying I do not hate my Note 2. I think it's a great phone.
The thing is, i haven't really used my stylus in any real sense, and it was really the main reason I got the device...also the multi-window. I only use multi-window while driving to watch a movie, while keeping a tiny segment of google maps on screen. This is really not something I should be doing anyway
thirdly...htc one.
anyway, my phone is well preserved, no scratches, and always had a case and screen protector since day one. how much should I be able to sell this device? I have no experience selling phones, what's the best way to do this? Any advice would be great. my phone is under contract. is there issues i need to know about?

My best advice would be to shop around.. EBay and Craig's list would b good places to get a idea of a fair price.. EBay auctions definately because the buyers set the price.. Just b sure to shop around and don't stop on 1 price.. Good luck to u..

Your best option if your not familiar in selling is to use swappa.com. It's a great way to sell your phone. No eBay fees and only charge is the $10 you pay after selling phone. Just remember to calculate shipping costs on your asking price. And don't sell yourself short if your phone really is in good condition. Just look at previous sold phones and what they sold for and base it on that.
Other option is Craigslist. Only problem with this is you'll get lots of spam emails and hagglers trying to get a great phone at a cheap price. But if you somehow find someone that is worth it you keep all the profit. Just make sure you sell in a public place and take a counterfeit money pen to make sure your not being duped. Best thing is to meet at a Sprint store.
Good luck. If you have any questions feel free to message me. I do this all the time. Have sold my last 2 phones on swappa and a couple on Craigslist.

Swappa is becoming the best place to sell your phone since they only charge 1 fee. The only other fee you pay is with PayPal once you get paid. You must use PayPal. They also only sell phones that are in working condition and with clean esn. So far more and more people shop and sell on swappa. You can even link your phone sale on Twitter and Facebook. Just go on there and look at info they give you before you sell. It's easy and if your price seems high you can compare it to other phones and see how much they sold for. You can even lower the price anytime you want, or raise it.

I just checked local Craigslist, cheapest I've seen for a Sprint Note-2 is $400, seen one that was flashed to Cricket for $349. Most are 400 and up.
Thanks guys. Very helpful

All my phones have been sold through eBay. Even after the fees and PayPal fees, I feel that's where I pocket the most money after the sale. That also include shipping.
HAHA. MultiView - watching movies with GPS on the other screen.
Not to hijack the thread @THE op.. But you can sell a phone that's under contract right and avoid fees with a phone not being on the line by just getting a cheap phone to put on it until you sell the main phone right?

went mildly crazy and decided to buy the HTC One.
anyone interested?
Comes with 2 iSmooth screen protectors (the 3rd is installed...semi-perfectly, with a lint trapped in the upper left side, away from the screen) + sprint body glove case + all accessories, and original box.
looking for whatever the lowest in price in swappa. shipping included. this is the titanium version.
Caveat though, I can't ship it until I receive my new phone.
They go on Craigslist for $500 id sell mine for 450 in pristine condition. Thinking about the LG Optimus bro I cannot go back to something smaller

HTC could have done better with the price and availability

The phone itself is looking to be the best flagship of the year so far, but HTC should have taken a page from Apple's page book and made it available sooner. I say this because many buyers want immediate satisfaction. Not shipping until early May is a mistake. The next flagship coming down the line will be the Galaxy Note 6 which is supposed to release as early as July. You can bet there will numerous leaks about the Note 6 between now and the time the HTC starts shipping. This will make many decide to wait and see what the Note 6 has to offer.
The price of $699 is too high unless HTC throws in some value in the way of package deals like LG has done with the G5 and Samsung has done with the G7.
The price is in line with other flagships. Although they're nice, I don't need extras.
The nice thing about the freebies from the other carriers is they have some resale value if you don't want them. It lowers the price overall for just the phone.

wouldnt say its the best of the year it looks horrible and that finger print scanner looks weird not even central if you have ocd you pretty ****ed lol and dont get me wrong not here bashing it because i have a samsung s7 edge now as my last 3 htcs have been m7 m8 and m9 so i am a bit of a htc fan boy just i think it doesnt have the premium looks of its predecessors and sadly will be giving it a miss this year
They are including high-res earphones and a QC 3.0 charger, I think they have a pretty well priced package imo.
I think the package and price are fine. Don't forget you're getting free accident insurance with it too - and that the bootloader is unlockable thru HTCdev.
Both the HTC and Exynos S7s have some tradeoffs to make on US carriers (such as LTE band 30 support missing on the 930/935F), so it's a matter of figuring out what works best for you.
I too have the S7E, and the 10 will have a hard time beating out the Edge IMO. I've been keeping my eye on the 10, but once they replaced front facing speakers with fingerprint scanner...I was like I already own a Galaxy phone since both the A9 & 10 resemble it from the front. If they had kept front facing speakers and put scanner on the back, I would've considered returning my S7E
Front facing scanner is the right way to do it. I don't want to lift the phone from my desk if I want to quickly peek. I am so glad they went this way.
And I am fine with dual speaker setup on HTC 10. Its not the best way for stereo sound but it works way better than mono on the S7 and G5.
Unlocked bootloader is the reason I will buy this phone though!! Bravo HTC! This time its officially supported. No voiding the warranty!
Looking like the best of all so far. S7 and G5 -> can't unlock bootloader -> No sale.
If you signed up for HTC's "exclusive for HTC owners" prior to the unveiling, they promised to send a special incentive.
The email just showed up and it was for $100 off a pre-order thru HTC.
It just keeps getting better.

Thanks, I was wondering when we were going to get that email. Thought maybe they forgot
The price for the unlocked version in Canada is 999$ + 10$ shipping = 1009$
Well its to expensive, lets buy a carrier branded version with a 2 years agreement... What? Bell mobility is the exclusive carrier? With a 85$/month plan? LOL
Well I guess I'll have to wait a few months before buying.
I think the price is on point with other flagships.
1) Bootloader unlocking with out voiding warranty.
2) UH OH Protection (purchased through HTC.com).
3) Quick charger and high end ear buds.
Also there WILL be discounts here and there (i.e. the current $100 off with email coupon).

Did this work? Link please
Apparently I can share it via email. PM me your email and I'll send it.
The only thing I'm not sure about is if it's a unique promo code or not, which is why I haven't shared it publicly. If it ends up being the same, I'll gladly share it out.
NM - just saw it on Android Central and it's not unique, so here it is.

WTF!!! I F'ING LOVE YOU!!!
I haven't even posted here in a long time, maybe years and I just logged in right now to tell you how awesome you are! I was in the checkout page with an $817 bill decided to fish around for some coupons and luckily stumbled back here and ended up paying $707. Big difference IMO.
THANKS AGAIN!!!
You're welcome! Glad it worked out for you!
Very big difference indeed. Did you get some accessories with it to get the price up there?

Yeah I got that ice case. Funny when I looked this morning the $100 deal wasn't posted on the tech blogs yet and after I saw your post I saw it on all of the blogs haha. Sucks for those that were drooling and pulled the trigger immediately!
Again no freebies but what comes in the box is better than the others so I guess it was a good deal. Thanks again!
If you put the phone in your cart and go thru the point where you have to log in with your email and then abandon your cart, I'm pretty sure they will email you a "free shipping" offer within 24 hours as well.
Of course, if you're the type that is most concerned about being at the front of the line, you might not care
$699 out the gate is steep, but it's inline with Apple and Samsung. This phone will probably be $500 by September.
