Just got my Sprint Touch for $200 (and there is a $100 Mail In rebate). Was eligible for the $150 discount as I did not get a new handset in two years! Makes it $100 after rebate!!
Not sure where to post this great deal and hence posted it here. Mods pls feel free to move this.
My friend I was thinking about posting that because I'm a manager at a Radioshack in Kansas but I kinda figured that most everyone in this SubForum already have a vogue. lol
I know But I know I visited this forum even before I got my Vogue to get reviews / upgrade possibilities. I targeted these guys and for people who loose their phones in toilets
Thanks for posting this. I gave up checking my local radio shack as they never had one on display. After reading this I went in today and they had it I'll be picking mine up soon with this deal.

Thanks for this. I just walked into my local radio shack and said "I read on a forum you can get me a touch for $100", the guys said "... um... ya I can do that." This is before he even looked up to see if I was a sprint customer or if I was eligible for a rebate! They didn't have one in stock but i'll be picking it up Wed.
If I hadn't just bought one for $150, I'd have been running to Radio Shack right now! I don't want to go through the hassel of returning the one I just bought to save $50 so I'll just have to subscribe to the fact that I've missed a good deal. I had to trade my 6700 and use my $150 benefit to get it down to $150.
I got my touch
Tweaked it a bit already.
Touchpal SIP
Google maps
resco explorer/registry editor (trial)
spb finance
Opera mobile (trial - might wait for 9.5 before I purchase)
Pocket CM
spb backup
I changed the pressure threshold and touchflo settings per this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360564
I did notice problems at the screen corners with buttons. They didnt respond well no matter how I pressed. Turns out the screen alignment could have been more precise, so I just reset it myself and all is fine.
It took me a few days to get activesync to work. The problem was microsoft money 2004 for pocket pc. Once I took that off and used spb finance it was fine.
I'm loving the touch. It makes my once beautiful palm m515 design look incredibly dated.
So again, thanks for mentioning this deal, I finally have replaced my cell phone and pda with one device
I got mine. Yes, RadioShack will do it for $100. Note that it's AFTER two rebates (but hey I can live with that). The rebates take 10-14 weeks.
Wow, I should have done some price matching before jumping for the purchase.
I just picked up a Touch last week from my local sprint store for $500 - $150 (upgrade discount) - $100 rebate = $250 AR
With the 30 day guarantee, could I return it and go to Radio Shack? In returning it, would they restore my upgrade discount eligibility that I used to buy it?
Am I hosed or can I still make this work?

Not hosed. Return it - call sprint. They might just price match it for you. Worst case - return and buy it at RS.
So I went called my local 'Shack and they are quoting a price of $249 after rebate for the 2 yr upgrade... Same price I payed from Sprint. On Radioshack's website it looks like they have it for $199 after rebate.
How are you guys getting this deal? Sorry for being a noob.

Thats what I was quoted first. Ask them to re-check in their system. They are probably just reading their old label on the display.
I ordered one. Helpful staff. Came in 7 days of shipping.

My apologies for the misleading title!
Looks too good to be true...
where are you located.. That company is only 600 miles or so from me maybe less. I will give them a call if they still have them mid week..
thanks for the link..
Located in Central Texas. I didn't care if the thing had to come from alaska! I LOVE XDA and my Sam Cap phone so I was fiending for more dev action on a tablet. SCOURED the internetz realm for over a week strait 8+ hrs daily looking for the "BEST" deal ^_^.

The 5 star review from Feb 8th is mine. BTW the $209.99 doesn't include shipping. When I purchased my A500 about three weeks ago, the tablet was on their site for $199.99!!!! You still have to pay around $30 shipping, but hey... you can't beat this deal ANYWHERE!!! It takes amazon's sellers out to dinner and never calls them again...
For those who aren't inclined to click....

"I don't know why there are so many negative reviews. My experience with PCPARTSOHIO.COM was VERY pleasant. They returned my emails in under 24 hours of working business days. NO COMPLAINTS. I have full faith in ordering from this company. Reason being; I ordered an ACER A500 TABLET 16GB from their site. I was skeptical, but said what the heck. I'll risk my $234.99 shipped strait to my door. This was the BEST and CHEAPEST price on the ENTIRE INTERNET after I scoured www.shopwiki.com www.aliexpress.com www.amazon.com www.ebay.com and MANNNNNYYYY other sites. I emailed the company about refund and return policies in case of DOA or other problems. I was politely informed that they have a 90 day return policy. Excellent! I was so anxious to put my order through; I never waited for a response regarding these questions. They responded promptly @10:30am on the following Monday (order placed on Saturday). Informing me I would receive a tracking # when my package shipped in 2-7 business days from UPS. I was also informed that they work with liquidations that’s why it may be delayed to ship. I said that was fine and eagerly awaited the email. I never received (to my knowledge) a tracking email. I may have missed it since I receive multiple emails an hour, and never clean my inbox. All in all, I WILL do business with them again. Soon, in fact. I will be ordering my wife a tablet as well. They are great. I was also informed that it may arrive with a scratch or two from shipping process, although there were NONE!!! The package arrived exactly 7 days from the day my card was charged (Monday). Everything worked right out of the box. There was no original packaging, which I was well aware of. One Charger, One Tablet. One ecstatic man. I am super pleased with www.pcpartsohio.com

PS: The tab came with a charger and the Tablet itself. Nothing else. BUT!~!!~~ It was shipped with NO scratches AND stock 3.0 or 3.1 I believe!! I OTA updated with out knowing I needed original stock to root. Lol took me about an hour to revert.... Tablet is running STRONG today. As it does every day! Ordered a green silicon case from amazon with screen protector for around $7.00.
*edit: IDK if they have a mandatory shipping rate or if the prorate for the area of travel erica so it could be more or less depending on location. My shipping costs personally were 34.99. I totaled the order to my door for $234.99. Best money my wife has ever spent lulz i'm in the market for buying her one soon too! Can't wait for stable ICS with full function.... *Drools*
Thank you very much for the information and reply back so soon..I have had the a500 since April since last year i pre ordered mine from BB.. EVEN thou im not a best buy fan..
again Thanks
Thats a steel of a deal right there
Erica..... In case you haven't looked all the way through the seller's site, the catch is in the shipping, see attached quote......
UPS Ground -- $35
UPS BLUE (2nd Day) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $55
UPS Red (Overnight) Place Order by 1 PM EST -- $69
UPS 3 Day Select (shipped next business day) -- $49
My order would have come to $244.99 which is a far cry from $209. At the finished price i.e. $245 and a possible unknown time taken to ship, it doesn't honestly seem such a great deal especially as daily deals are being offered on the A500 in anticipation of the release of the Tegra 3 machines.

No problem! I love to help! Especially when it deters people from Ipad/Iphone/Ipod... not flaming them I am just pro-open source. The fact that Apple will electronically murder your phone if they find out you jailbreak..... reminds me of the southpark episode "Humancentipad"..... sorry I had to bring that up >.< so gross.... like apple... *cough*.... again this is just an opinion so nobody get disgruntled please. ^_^
Oh yeah i'm not a BB fan either except for test runs! It's awesome to have everything you can get online for half as much right at your fingertips for pre-purchase testing!

Yeah this is true that the shipping is the catch... I myself did not notice this til I was ready to check out. Just choose ground.... doesn't take long. If you are someone scouring the internet today or soon or have been and you want a good deal this is one... Again It was $199.99 when I bought a couple of weeks ago so no telling if it will drop again soon... a good site in general for random computer parts(yeah that was off topic so sue me ) But for those poor souls out there looking on Amazon or ebay because that's the only sites they know, this does help. Why pay $350 on amazon or $280+ on ebay? I know we are in a not so fluffy economy and I for one LOVE to save ten dollars... let alone a hundred... or two...
~Much love to the community.
Just ordered one for a friend. Total with plain ole ground shipping, $244.99! Thanks for the heads up.
thats a steal!!!
i m looking for a A501 tho which is with the sim slot tho. any luck any one?

I got mine for $199 + $35 shipping from them. Im pleased with it and it was in perfect shape. They reported it as new open box but was actually a refurbished one. That being said it was a great tablet @ a great price. Get one while you can.

Great find! This is cheaper than I've been buying them off of Craig's List!
I went to buy one of these, but one the page that I was supposed to enter my credit card info, I noticed that Google Chrome says it wasn't safe.
Here is the definition they gave:
"The site uses SSL, but Google Chrome has detected either high-risk insecure content on the page or problems with the site’s certificate. Don’t enter sensitive information on this page. Invalid certificate or other serious https issues could indicate that someone is attempting to tamper with your connection to the site."
I sent their support an email. Don't think I will order from there until they explain this.
very low rating....
resellerratings.com/store/PC_Parts_Unlimited
I'm officially calling Shenanigans on this company and anyone promoting them. Their business ratings are abysmally bad and it's clear that their site fakes customer ratings.
There's no free lunch, and I highly doubt anyone ordering one of these red herrings will receive an A500 in any kind of reasonable condition. Judging by what other customers have said about their purchases at PC Parts Unlimited, you'll get something that was used, in a flood, inoperative, and possibly stolen. Use a reputable dealer.
My dad and I just ordered a pair from here. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Woot Buy
Got my Acer Iconia a500 from the woot website. I bought a 32gb refurbished a500 with wifi (standard with 90 day Acer warranty) and I received it in about a week and a half. It cost me 300 plus 5 dollars shipping and it has been working great so far. Love the forums by the way, very helpful (first time poster here).

Hi all!! I just remembered that Motorola has the Trade Up program for all the phones that they said would upgrade to 4.x and didn't. They're offering a $100 Visa Debit Card if you return the phone to them, it has to be done within the first 30 days of purchasing the new Motorola device.
I'm really excited, since I got my X from Best Buy when they had the $100 sale, and now I'm getting this $100 rebate, so in essence I paid some $8 for my phone (the tax the BB charged). That's frikkin awesome!!! :highfive: :good: :laugh: :victory:
P.S. You can find the Trade Up Program here...
Don't see anything for the dev edition though. And why is it still $650?
sent from my sm-9005.
So I was looking for cases for my S5 and I saw that they lowered the price to $149.99 with $50.00 mail in rebate.
This stinks because I just bought the thing on the 23rd for $249.99 with a $50.00 mail in rebate.
Has any body had any success getting Verizon to give a refund if you are still in the return policy time frame? Or matching their own price?
Just wondering, I could buy a nice case for 100 dollars or donate more money to root lol.

^This - I know this is not on topic, but seriously, who is this Loda person and why is he/she posting junk like this that doesn't help with anything? Can the mods block this user? 250 posts in a month and many are just like the one above - pointless and a waste.
Sorry for the rant. I have had luck in the past when verizon lowered the price of a device but if I recall, it had to be within 2 weeks time. Best you can do is try and see what they'll do for you. Good luck
grandon licesin
Hi all,
Just to update. Verizon did do a price match for me. They are giving me a 100 dollar credit on my bill. So, as long as you are within the 14 day window they will match their own price.
Most of you guys probably already know this so just in case anybody just bought a phone within the past two weeks Verizon will give you a $100 credit for the new price.
Whoops, I messed up my title. Lol noob move.
While there is a 2-unit limit, the Amazon Fire is now $35 bucks. Get it while you still can!
I did not know there was a 2 unit limit. I presume the limit holds true even if they are shipped to different addresses? My friend ordered me one since they have prime.

Do you guys know if it's being enforced? I ordered 2 in one order and one in the next one. Hope they don't cancel it.

I was looking if they had the buy 5+1 free offer, but saw it was gone.
But I did order the one I was waiting for.
I just ordered two more. From the mobile app I didn't see the 2-unit limit.
Most of the alternative cases which were about $9.99 have gone up to around $14.99.
just sign up for a free prime 30 day trial and you can order another 2 per account.
damn, we only had the 49 Euro's ( 51 USD ) deal in germany yesterday. Orderd mine yesterday and got it yesterday, love the new same day delivery for free.
£35 in the uk today. Ordered!
I was able to make three purchases of two each to get 6 total. When I was submitting the third and final order, it said I had just made a similar order and did I want to continue. I told it yes and it went thru. 'Course, now I won't get em until 21st or 22nd of December, but that's OK.

If anyone is looking to get the Fire in the US, ordering it from Best Buy online for in store pickup is the best way to go. I ordered it this morning and it is already in store whereas amazon has it backordered until December 17th+. You could probably cancel your orders and buy it this way instead.

Yes. Same price. Much more convenient IMO.
UPS says mine arrives on Monday. I don't think I've ever been so excited to get a $35 gadget, haha.
Picked one up in store yesterday at Best Buy. Open box special.
Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but the price was too good to pass up.
One of mine arrived yesterday, the other should come around the 30th.
Anyway, this is a pretty good device so far. I made sure to replace the Fire OS with CM12.1 and now it really flies compared to the original Kindle Fire. At first I was concerned with the resolution, but now I'm fine with it not being 720P. I mean for $35 I can't really have it all.
Also I would suggest using the Supertool posted in the index.

Did you know it was at Best Buy already or was I of assistance to you with my post in the thread?
I actually was researching this tablet because of price and read your thread to get some impressions.
The open box special was just a good finding.
