Smile HTC Flyer

Anyone have one? If so what are your impressions? I'm seriously looking at picking one up once it hits the T-mobile Network

I considered one mainly because of the stylus and its notetaking ability. If it had Honeycomb it would've been a no brainer for me. Reviews for it look pretty good. If you don't need the stylus, I'd say go for a Honeycomb device instead. Either the Tab 10.1 or the Transformer.

Th he stylus had me hooked! But it seems no one cares about the Flyer, ive yet to see a person who owns one.

I have it. Not the 3g, just wifi. I actually like it, I dont have the stylus, but thinking about getting it. Honeycomb should eventually come out on it, but it runs a modified version of 2.3 which runs nice for droid.

Awesome! Ive tinkered with it in the store and loved it. I was a bit worried about the long term performance though as I know Sense is a resource hog.

Sense doesnt seem to be taking up too much of it, it runs fast enough. HTC is releasing a new 10 inch honeycomb shortly though if thats what you want. I particularly got the flyer cause of the size.

Android's hardware seems to have caught up with the OS nowadays. As long as you have around 512 MB of RAM and single core 1 GHz processor, Android is pretty smooth. HTC knows Sense takes up extra memory which is why they add weird RAM configurations like 768 MB to compensate.

I thought all Flyers were supposed to come with a Stylus? Or is that only if you bought it from Best Buy?

10in tabs are a tad too big for me. And a free stylus with 3g-4g would seal the deal. I got wind tmobile should be getting the flyer sometime in Oct., cant wait!

The UK version just got another price drop. Maybe the US variants will follow suit:
