    Will this be ongoing? $299 should be a sweet spot for a lot of people.

    Yeah at the Verizon stores you can get:

    16GB - $299
    32GB - $399
    64GB - $499

    If they have any in stock. This started yesterday, so there may still be a chance.

    Edit: If they're out of stock, ask them to check the inventory at the other stores for you. If there's one that has one, ask them to call and put it on hold for you, or even see if you can pay for it over the phone and then go pick it up.

    Edit 2: Rumor is they 16GB one's are sold out nation wide, but it wouldn't surprise me if some places still have a few sitting around.

    Here is a store locator.

    I just called the one right by my office, Greenway Plaza, and she said they do not have any 16Gb's in stock, but they can order one for me. They do have the 32GB's in stock. I'm going to go by there on my lunch break today. Here is the # if you want to call:

    (713) 621-1391

    Yeah, I wish she could have put one aside for me instead of offering to order one, but I'm not going to complain. We'll see what happens when I go over there, I'm not holding my breath. From what I've read, her ordering one almost sounds too good to be true. It seems like everyone else has gone to the store and they either have them or they don't, nobody has mentioned a store ordering them.

    The sad thing is, I don't really have much of a use for one of these! I would like one, and I think everyone on here knows I'm pretty cheap, but I'm not really sure when I would use it!

    Oh, and thanks for posting this!

    One of the reps said they would be able to order one for me and have it shipped. Great deal. Repped.

    What's the difference between this one and the new one?

    What's the difference between this and my iPhone besides the fact it is bigger, does not have a camera and cannot make calls?

    I've been debating on getting one but nothing has pushed me over the edge yet.

    The new one has thinner, but stronger glass, is lighter, faster processor, faster graphics, HDMI Full HD output, the 720p HD camera on the back, and the frontal VGA camera.

    Even still, for what I would be using it for (mostly travel, which is rare for me), the original one will do just fine.

    Just left my desk to check two VZ stores in downtown SF. Only had the 32GB and 64GB units left, so I punted. But yeah, at $299, they're selling the 16GB basically at cost.

    Pretty funny considering most TVs have the same basic functionality regardless of size. It would have made more sense if you compared CRT to LCD or SD to HD. Thanks for NOT clarifying it any further.

    Thanks for the heads up. Just scored a 16GB at the Verizon store in Victoria. Sometimes it pays to live in the sticks! Even better, Best Buy took back my Nook Color without a restocking fee (after I restored it to factory of course... cool toy but the screen is just too small to be a tablet).
