The editors didn't like
Not so great with taking photos & videos
Somewhat pricey
Because it is such an integral part of the Flyer experience
I think it was cheap of HTC to not include a pen with the WiFi tablet — or at least offer a less expensive digital pen option
I have an issue where I can't seem to hold the stylus without act
Software doesn't solve any pentablet expected functions
And is not suitable for professionals
Small size makes writing on the device more of a hassle than it's worth
There is nowhere to keep the stylus on the Flyer
Prices vary greatly between retailer
Email is not tablet-optimised
HTC’s interface could mean a while before update to Honeycomb is possible
Average design that harks back to its smartphonesLook and Feel...
Outdated
Nontabletspecific version of Android. Google Talk video chat isn't supported in Gingerbread. Slow browser performance. Cluttered default layout. Cameras are only mediocre.
Expensive pen is optional
Easy to lose
No handwriting recognition
Doesn't sync audio recordings with Evernote
Low-quality cameras
Non-tablet-specific version of Android. Google Talk video chat isn't supported in Gingerbread. Slow browser performance. Cluttered default layout. Cameras are only mediocre.
Runs the phone version of Android OS
Has a single core CPU
Though clocked quite high
Has a
Pen not bundled in US
Flyer only runs smartphone apps at launch
Can?t navigate device with pen
Poor camera
Fragile/fiddly rear cover
Sluggish at times
Nowhere to dock stylus without case
Not particularly fast or particularly cheap. Runs Android 2.2
Not 3.1
At least until HTC delivers the promised update. Stylus is a frivolous gimmick
Stylus costs $80
Poor camera quality
No OCR apps supported
The Flyer is small
Thick
And pricey
And isn't running Google's Android 3.0 tablet OS. Its most unique feature
The Magic Pen
May not come included and is expensive to replace

Price, Dearth of compatible apps
Looking at the hardware specifications and the software packed on it, HTC Flyer may seem like an overgrown smartphone. Scribe technology along with the Magic Pen certainly does make the tablet stand out amongst similar 7 inch tablets. A stylish look and p...
The Flyer is HTC's first venture into the tablet space and I had high hopes for this as it looked like a winner right from the start, well at least on paper. If I may quote Morpheus from the Matrix, "Everyone falls the first time" , this is exactly wha...

The Flyer has an excellent UI running on good hardware, everything packed into a really compact and comfortable form-factor. Not once while using it did I miss the fact that it ran Gingerbread and not Honeycomb. However, there is no way one can justify th...
That's that then. One of the most unique Android tablets out there - the HTC Flyer. It does well - even without the all-important dual-core processor and cream-of-the-crop Honeycomb OS.The thing that sets it apart from most tablets, is the HTC Sense toppi...
Nicely built, Aluminum unibody construction gives it a classy look, Fits well in the hand because of the slim form factor, Good display quality, Battery life is satisfactory, The pen is a nice add-on feature, even though with limited app support
Pricey, Single core processor; HTC could have used the same dual core processor from the Sensation smartphone, Comes with Android 2.3 and not 3.0; misses out on the �made for tablet� OS, HTC Sense doesn�t make up for that loss, No HDMI out; will not
There is no other way of putting this- we are very disappointed. After all the hype, and the expectations (placed on it, quite rightfully), the HTC Flyer has turned out to be a disappointment. No dual core processor, stuck on Android 2.3, no HDMI out a...
I know you all are waiting for it and want to hear the final words and thoughts about the Flyer. HTC Flyer is an amazing tablet and it’s a mix of amazing software and hardware. The aluminum back of the tablet feels good, but then it’s also heavy and bu...
There are some things we love about the Flyer: the high-quality build, the size, performance and HTC Sense is slick and efficient. Sure Sense lacks features of Honeycomb, but it's arguably simpler to navigate. The Flyer is not a multimedia powerhouse, but...
Great for watching videos and playing games on the 7in screen; write, draw, annotate and sign digital documents with the Magic Pen.
A tad heavy; poor WiFi detection; not userfriendly enough.
The HTC Flyer seems to get confused when there are too many WiFi networks in the vicinity, and refuses to connect. The device refuses to connect even when you select one of the networks in the detected list. However, it works well when there is a sing...
