you said the video playback was slightly pixilated, was that playing a video on the internet or through the htc watch? cos its the watch application which is interesting me, but maybe not if its so pixilated.... :P
Great review, I'm pretty much sold. Was thinking of the iPad but I will go give this a try to see if it's as good as the video suggests. Top notch video!
Just bought one today and i love it, chose this over iPad 2, because I don't have to relie on a computer. And i don't own a computer so when its time time to update the flyer all I need is wifi

best review I've seen on youtube.. BTW, can you change the background color for built-in apps like Music Player, Calendar, etc.? Kinda upset with seeing that blue instead of an elegant black :\
the Sense UI on top of Gingerbread looks like a better Tablet UI than the Honeycomb interface. Pretty sad when you think about it, given that Honeycomb is specifically geared for tablets, while Gingerbread is geared for Phones.
What's the point comparing the Flyer with the Galaxy Note? The Note is a phone, the flyer is a tablet, just as the Galaxy Tab. You can do way more stuff with a Galaxy Note compared to the Galaxy Tab 7 inch.
Since the scribe technology really competes the S-pen and it shows some other similarities like 3g etc. I don't know why you wouldn't compare... This one is much cheaper than the note and offers a bigger screen.
Really HTC Flyer P510e gives a trendy look and it is very smooth and handy All new HTC Sense 3.0 with Android 2.3 Built-In Memory of 32GB added with Micro SD extension 5.0 MP Main Camera and 1.3 MP front Camera I think this Smartphone is superb and with all these advance features its price is also reasonable (Rs. 22,790),It is a good Smartphone and become very popular now.
I like these Flyers, even more with the price drop! I can't decide between this little guy and the Acer Ionia a100. The latter has a bit more under the hood, plus a newer OS, but the Flyer was great in person at BB - quick, smooth rendering, etc. I just hesitate because HTC says they will put Honeycomb on it, but have not done so yet (there is a beta, though). I just don't want to buy the Flyer and have support for it be dropped.
@AmpedOrange I'm only talking about how much the iPhone sells because a [crazy] guy said it wasn't much. Now in response to your reply, look at the percentage of customer satisfaction, the iPhone wins, look at the percentage of devices returned, Android wins. How do you explain that? That's what I thought...
Get a Google Nexus 7. It is the best 7inch around. Yes it does not have a back camera but you don't need a tablet to take pictures you can use your phone or camera. The nexus 7 is quad core super fast and with excellent graphics and has the latest google jellybean android technology. I gave my HTC flyer away it is single core and slow, it is 2 operating systems behind. Playbook is fine but has a limited applications' market. You'll be impressed with how sleek and impressive the Nexus is!
if i got this, could i use it for school? like could i type word documents? my mom thinks it would only be useful to get this if i could also use it for school, lol
dont get me wrong, i love this device but i feel htc should have done the following with this device 1) SD card slot in the side of the device 2) Dual Core Processors 3) The 'Magic Pen' should have been cheaper-Free in the box. 4) Flash on the back If not any of the above, 5) REDUCED THE PRICE. If they wanted to beat the iPad, they should have reduced the price.
htc is the only company that can rival apple in terms of refinement and they are doing a great job if u bare in mind that apple only launches one type of phone and one type of tablet every year where as htc launch about 20
@kodemasterx The iPhone 5 is just around the corner... No one's stupid enough to buy an iPhone 4 right now! And still, apple isn't having a hard time selling iPhones. It's still the most popular smartphone in the world and is selling millions of units in every quarter since 2010
This in my opinion is better than the nexus 7. Actually has a rear camera, htc sense 3.0 which is one of the best u.i. for android. It can be rooted and flashed to android 4.0 if you really want it that bad.
@JrJester007 i actually have a macbook but i didn't want to tug it to school everyday (i live in new york). was thinking of something that i could use in class and be able to transfer my notes to my macbook if needed.
I am looking into getting a tablet and I love my htc phone but this... This is too expensive for a 7' tablet when there are a few tablets less than that price with Honeycomb OS like the Asus Transformer or the Acer Iconia. Not to mention their sizes are 10.1.
@vitoNICKS767 I'd reccomend any Android tablet which has an Android verson of 3.0 or higher. Most tablet's with 2.x is laggy and most apps are made for phones (looks really bad on a large screen).
@kodemasterx Of course they won't completely change the OS, that would be stupid, it needs the same feel and ease of use (and amazing UI). HTC is not innovative at all!
@christermad u think htc doesnt do that? or samsung? or sony? or coca cola? or adidas? or nike? or motorola? or microsoft? every single billion dollar company uses them to make millions of bucks, that's how the world economics work. but just cause u dont like apple it stands out?
this is... by far... the most... INCREDIBLE HTC Flyer review on TH-cam!!!
@PhoneArena would you reccomend this over the acer iconia a100?
you said the video playback was slightly pixilated, was that playing a video on the internet or through the htc watch? cos its the watch application which is interesting me, but maybe not if its so pixilated.... :P
Is it possible to safely update the Android version on this tablet now?
Great review, I'm pretty much sold. Was thinking of the iPad but I will go give this a try to see if it's as good as the video suggests. Top notch video!
you did a great job on reviewing HTC flyer!!!
the best one on YB so far.
Just got mine yesterday and loving it!
i cant decide nexus 7, ipad mini or htc flyer? i wish the nexus 7 had a camera on the back i would buy it in a heartbeat. help me out please
what's the price for this in the us? and does it come with the stylus?
Just bought my flyer! Pen was included in the price so I am satisfied :) Feels just like what I need!
thanks for the review..... excellent job, plenty of info presented in a concise, refreshing way
One question can it handle 1080p video?
Best flyer review ever. Though I dont like the flyer but very detailed review. Thanks for this.
i was leaning towards the ipad until i saw this.. i need a mini computer to take to school...do u guys think this will suit my needs??
I know you can edit and view Microsoft Office files on it, but can you connect this tablet to a printer? Thanks!
Just bought one today and i love it, chose this over iPad 2, because I don't have to relie on a computer. And i don't own a computer so when its time time to update the flyer all I need is wifi
Which pencil is better, on Flyer or on the Note?
Is this better than the Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000?
@Moayad Al-Natsheh why's that? why is the iPad the best?
i gotta say so far im loving HTC products
Does the flyer have something like the app store?
I love my htc flyer its my secound first great tablet i got back in 2012 used. This looks like my htc one x i had around that time.
GALAXY TAB 7.0 PLUS OR THE HTC FLYER ?
1.2Ghz or the HTC 1.5Ghz processor?
Im confused wat to get xoom,flyer,galaxy tab 8.9 or wait for htc pucini ???
help me out guys. Shall I get the HTC Flyer or BlackBerry Playbook ?

how much does the pen cost?
does the 16GB have built in 3G?
Is it true that best buy just made this 99$?
guys which should I get this or the nexus 7?
best review I've seen on youtube..
BTW, can you change the background color for built-in apps like Music Player, Calendar, etc.? Kinda upset with seeing that blue instead of an elegant black :\
what sim card is needed for 3g?
Is this a mobile or not? I CAN'T find it!
Great review as always. Thanks!
Doesn't the playbook have BBPOS (QNX)?
I like that wallpaper of the htc flyer during the start of the video, anyone knows where to get it???
Ok thank you for the reply :) I will have a look at the Google Nexus 7. It does look a great tablet!
can download films with it ??
@spt439 500 in what country?
depends on ur taste in tablets , but I strongly advice u to get the Htc Flyer
Excellent review!

I love HTC just because of the build quality.
@SouthFacedWindows Glad you liked it!
@danielle gore no it's not with stylus.
Really HTC Flyer P510e gives a trendy look and it is very smooth and handy
All new HTC Sense 3.0 with Android 2.3
Built-In Memory of 32GB added with Micro SD extension
5.0 MP Main Camera and 1.3 MP front Camera
I think this Smartphone is superb and with all these advance features its price is also reasonable (Rs. 22,790),It is a good Smartphone and become very popular now.
You can with a custom ROM, not sure about an official update.
I like these Flyers, even more with the price drop! I can't decide between this little guy and the Acer Ionia a100.

Great review man!
is it a phone???
@feramere1 its 300... it was even 99 for a short time on bestbuy but some say it was an IT mistake....

if i got this, could i use it for school? like could i type word documents? my mom thinks it would only be useful to get this if i could also use it for school, lol
Lol. Eartling is so right......Crap Tablet but Phone Arena always give good clear concise reviews.
I'm getting it.
I think my brain is about to explode.
dont get me wrong, i love this device but i feel htc should have done the following with this device
1) SD card slot in the side of the device
2) Dual Core Processors
3) The 'Magic Pen' should have been cheaper-Free in the box.
4) Flash on the back
If not any of the above,
5) REDUCED THE PRICE.
If they wanted to beat the iPad, they should have reduced the price.
Im getting the htc evo view its the same thing but it has 3g ,4g service.
if you didn't know you can buy a mhl adapter to hdmi just like the HTC rezound
htc is the only company that can rival apple in terms of refinement and they are doing a great job if u bare in mind that apple only launches one type of phone and one type of tablet every year where as htc launch about 20
HTC is where its at!
got mine yesterday ..
in less than 24hrs i found out a way to make GSM calls just like a galaxy tab
awesome fone ...
They should give tablets another shot
you did a great job
I just brought this, good for reading pdf I think, will buy transformer prime hd in june though
Do I know you? Are you from the Haselton family
remember the time when 240 was standard quality in youtube?
Ordered mine today hooray!:)
Real fans watch it even before the thumbnail appears.

13:46 I still have that 1 at home xD not that one but the older one!
HTC, please make a tablet again.
@WP7User I changed it probably at least 6 times. I like to show off it color production.
DOA tablet, stuck on honeycomb and no where to be found
This in my opinion is better than the nexus 7. Actually has a rear camera, htc sense 3.0 which is one of the best u.i. for android. It can be rooted and flashed to android 4.0 if you really want it that bad.
Everyone who say that Apple copies everyone/everything obviously don't understand that they're fighting over who made Cola and then "Coca-Cola"
@AzerothProduction Well said! The same with Dual-Core phones
@RIIXER. yes you can. interesting fact, I took an iPad to
@AmpedOrange Oh please, it's a disaster! It runs the phone version of android, and the screen is too small
@JrJester007 i actually have a macbook but i didn't want to tug it to school everyday (i live in new york). was thinking of something that i could use in class and be able to transfer my notes to my macbook if needed.
lol....Linkin Park and Monsters vs Aliens trailer again...at least you changed the white background with dark blue !
I am looking into getting a tablet and I love my htc phone but this... This is too expensive for a 7' tablet when there are a few tablets less than that price with Honeycomb OS like the Asus Transformer or the Acer Iconia. Not to mention their sizes are 10.1.
A fan of LP! :P
Very nice!
3:45 xD you broke a little of your nail trying to open the cover
Cool. Thanks!
@vitoNICKS767 I'd reccomend any Android tablet which has an Android verson of 3.0 or higher. Most tablet's with 2.x is laggy and most apps are made for phones (looks really bad on a large screen).
great rewiew
@kodemasterx Of course they won't completely change the OS, that would be stupid, it needs the same feel and ease of use (and amazing UI). HTC is not innovative at all!
@ProwlsFriend steve jobs clearly states that he revolutionizes existing products. OR make them better
@alexsmith1able I know smartphone are big, but 7" is to big. it's a tablet
@christermad
u think htc doesnt do that? or samsung? or sony? or coca cola? or adidas? or nike? or motorola? or microsoft?
every single billion dollar company uses them to make millions of bucks, that's how the world economics work.
but just cause u dont like apple it stands out?
@didzels12 are you in a bad mood or something?
Nexus 7......You are not gonna regret..but i can recommend you the BlackBerry Playbook..check it out!
@ProwlsFriend Agreed.Apple thinks they've reached a breakthrough and its been on android since it was built
