Well, with a list price of around £600, there’s little point beating about the bush; as it stands the HTC Flyer is too expensive and as such there are very few people we’d recommend buy one. However, if you do have a bit of spare cash or if the price drops in the near future, this tablet has a huge amount to offer.
