Thrive is Todays Special on HSN

Normally I see the "deals" that the Shop At Home Networks have and they aren't actually deals. Today, the 16GB Thrive is HSN's Special Value and they have it for $330 + shipping. Not the biggest savings, but still under the $399 that the 16GB is normally.

Hi all, been lurking around for a while researching my options and this is my first post.

I've been deciding between the Thrive (grippy back & SD slot) and the Iconia (thinner & slightly better screen) or waiting for after Thanksgiving (deals/new products) for a couple months now. Well, this deal pushed it over the top and I pulled the trigger.

$330 + a faux leather case and 4 payment option was the best deal I've seen yet.

I'll let everyone know when it arrives and my take on it. My brother and a co-worker already have one and they seem very happy with it.

Update: it took HSN about a week to deliver my Thrive. I've had the chance to play with it for a few days now and I'm happy to report, it actually exceeded my expectations. I'll try to get my take on it in a proper tread.

The HSN deal included a faux leather case which is, again, nicer than I expected, but its design, with four layers cover in faux leather and felt, make the Thrive seem extremely thick. Thicker than most normal laptops. About the thickness of a good hardcover book. I definately want to cover it in something, so I'll be looking into other cases or a simple neopreme cover.

Decided against a Black Friday special at Best Buy for an 8gb and checked out your link instead. Am happy to report that I bought the 16gb from HSN (never thought I'd be a shopper here ) but it was a deal I couldnt pass on. Includes the case and I seem to have gotten the last one or near to it cos it's showing up now as sold out. Can't wait to get it!

Thanks for the link.
