This is one of those deals that’s so CRAZY INSANE it could possibly be some sort of innocent mix-up, but you never know. The UK version of Best Buy is currently selling the HTC Flyer tablet for a super-discount £329, which is massively lower than the more usual £479-odd the tablet usually sells for.
It’s the cheaper wi-fi only version, but still. Definitely a big lump off the official RRP, here:
So if you’ve been waiting to see how “magic” the “magic pen” actually is, here’s your chance. Thanks to a reader that appears to be called “Tafka Wac” for the tip.
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ August 25, 2011What’s Android 2.4, Best Buy? ;)
Peter
/ August 25, 2011Apparently it is the OS that the Blackberry Playbook has.
Phil_O
/ August 25, 2011Haha! :D
Bristolboy
/ August 25, 2011Android 2.4!
As for price cuts maybe companies are learning from HP touchpad and realising the market is massive at lower prices and so are reducing margin slightly for a massive volume increase.

/ August 26, 20112.4 is HTC speak for “If you buy this you might get an update to the latest version of android. But then again you might not. And if we do it might be buggy. Or we won’t bother. And we’ll keep you hanging on forever. And send out misleading tweets…”
When is the Flyer gonna get Honeycomb?

This.

/ August 26, 2011Excuse me, I might be missing the point of your reply, but what do you mean?
They Flyer doesn’t have Honeycomb yet – does it?
Gary_C
/ August 26, 2011I think the “This” addendum is a modern take on the “me too” – as in, the respondent would also like to be made aware of the information.
Here’s hoping we’re in for another evening of hardcore grammar discussion.
Tafkawac
/ August 27, 2011Thanks Gary. That makes sense.
I can’t keep up with all this modern language. I’ve only just mastered the smiley. :-(
Tafkawac
/ August 27, 2011Balls. I meant :-)
Yobif
/ August 26, 2011Great Deal from Best deal…
Ken
/ August 26, 2011It’s a lot cheaper and COULD be a great bargain if HTC update it to Honeycomb. If not, skip it and go for the viewpad 7x
So a bit of a punt really :)
