[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freworld:
Hope this helps

Its actually a kinda rule in mobile tech field and allied, to not compare gadgets with age difference more than an year (in fact 6 months)

So kindly don't compare a quite way-back-released Flyer/View with latest Nexus and note 2/3 etc

My advise, HTF flyer is one of the best-all-in-one device you would find around (in fact a very few are there)

I can keep counting on features and its usability and fill up a page or 2, with REAL-LIFE uses with just a 1 Real-Portable-Device in your Jeans/Trouser/Coat Pocket (and not in a another BAG( which is actually pseudo-portable)).

If short of money, GRAB it quick. Believe me the major rate dip and stuff for this Product is already done/over. The current prices will remain till the inventory(which is already low) gets over (except you knock off some bargained deal with a seller). If you are thinking of some stop gap arrangement (with regards to your win8 tablet..better don;t). Wait a few months..win8 pro would be out in jan 2013. Get a

MS surface pro...and if you like like Win 8, SURFACE PRO would be really a great product (Hope you are saving money for it; Price would be 2-3X times the flyer's cost)

Personally i really like MS surface PRO (not RT)

If have money and cant live without flaunting Newest OS (FYI Flyer runs Jellybean too but not with all functions AON) and Gadget to friends and allied, go for other options. Yes there are some better options and the list will keep adding with time (and more money you are ready to spent)

I advise getting a Flyer than Evo View, if you are looking to replace your phone too.(and cant carry multiple devices)

P.S. Just some experience, in case that helps. I am not a "lets-buy-a-new-phone/tablet" guy just bcoz options are there and money is there in my bank account. I always RIP a product when it is missing/making me difficult to handle some new technology/function which i/associated people need or it BREAKS down.

When i bought My HTC KAISER back in 2007 (For 600$(including shipping) importing a Tmobile MDA vario III version to my country as there were none available here) i knew i made a good choice.

That new design and functions served me for some 3 years without me feeling much to shift over EXCEPT some screen real estate shortage(which gets short with each passing year given the fact how bigger handhelds are becoming) & resistive screen

& then i bought the FLYER (after waiting for its Initial 700$ price to come down to 370$) and i knew that price is worth it for a 7 inch Capacitive HTC's Beautiful tablet with Wifi, 3G, GPS, Dual Cameras, 32Gb+Slot Storage and the Hidden GSM phone(the deal breaker for me). It has replaced my phone too HTC KAISER (which still looks at me the same way.... sometimes when i need to lend a phone to someone(with all functions working and just wear n tear damage))

Also see how i substituted a 600$ product with a 370$ product after 3-4 yrs & latter being a more smarter, more useful and lot more productive product

Thats how technology works and changes & also how usage of product/s changes!

Personally, now, I use it as my All-in-one device

- Mainly for Phone,

- Quick Internet browsing (using Wifi at home & 3G Sim outside)

- GPS

- Voice recorder for notes(in professional work) & life voice-logs(when alone)

- a Drawing Pad for my nephew (They say the "magic" Pen is great)

- Full fledged Alarm Clock

- To-Do List Reminder

- my Music Portable (Home, Office and Travel(Airplane; Trains etc)) Esp. over Wireless Stereo BT headset

Including playing my music in Car using Aux/Drive/BT input (esp. when Days of CD/Discs are long gone)

- my Video Portable playing 720p HD videos with proper 16:9 Ratio(Home, Office and Travel(Airplane; Trains etc))

- Gr8 Games when i feeling bored

and Mind you ...if 7 inch real estate is small ...get a HDMI out and you would love the stuff on a big LED or Projector screen.

- Measure Distances & Heights (Smart Rule App)

- Taking Database Backups of my blogs and websites

- Torrents

- Wifi Hot spot for other gadgets

- Occasional Written note taking (kinda to do list only) . Scribe Pen is so handy (Mine came free/included with Flyer)

- Voice controlled Commands (Still researching Voice assistants like Speak to it & utter and they are FASCINATING)

- and the list is endless with what not can be done with loads of USEFUL and PRODUCTIVE apps available esp. after ROOTING the device into a Fully-Controlled (Beautiful-)Beast!

and

LoVVVe it. :)

(My only gripe (for the money and beautiful device this is).. is why HTC didn't put a flash in and may be they should have added a larger battery. Camera is not good in low light & buttery runs out soon when i use these many functions:p )
