Yeah I got the old “happy birthday” when I bought mine, which was nice. Probably wouldn’t have been so nice had the actual purchase price had been known...

It was a can vs should for me. I could afford it, but probably shouldn’t have purchased it. The only reason I did is my Best Buy was offering 18 month financing at 0%. I could buy it outright, or pay it off, but why not play with their money for a while.

They are selling them at Kohls now? If that doesn’t signal the beginning of the end for the Spark, I don’t know what does.

The only part of this statement I disagree is about the remote. A remote is very much an option for the Tello. It has been written, and shown, that it works with certain Bluetooth remotes such as the Gamesir T1.

Did you remove the SIM card completely? I never once got that message. Interesting.

I’m not sure how you are searching online, but I literally just looked it up and found no less than 8 legit retailers that were selling it for $99 It’s not being released in the US for a couple of weeks yet, so everyone is going to say pre-order, or if they do say “in-stock” it still won’t ship...

I’m getting one for sure, but I’m not a fan of the pre-order thing. I don’t need to be the first to have it.

From what I have read, and seen, it is compatible with the Gamesir T1 remote, which can be had for about 25 bucks via Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0757JR1JM/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1519943785&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=gamesir+controller&dpPl=1&dpID=51gY+e7d1-L&ref=plSrch

For future reference Newegg is legit. I buy stuff from them all the time.

My permanent residence is just over the border in Illinois, but I have a place up in Minocqua.

I used it to watch my dog out on the (frozen) lake this past weekend. It worked pretty well until he ran back to my son. At that point the tracker switched over to my son and forgot about the dog. Unless something is moving relatively slow, and in a relatively straight line, I find it loses...

Yep, totally jealous of having to now deal with the credit card company and possible identity theft. Nice first post by the way. Way to make an impression.

How so? I have the 8 plus and still use the cable from my old 5s to charge. It’s no annoyance at all...I’m not sure how you inferred that the “cables and adapters are a very significant annoyance”. They have been using the same cables for years now. Not sure how it shows poor judgement either...

$480 for those things? Yikes. I’ll take my chances with some 50$ ebay specials lol.

Was it me, or did the propeller guards look a bit large too? I’m not really familiar with the Spark or it’s accessories so I may be off base, but they looked especially robust.
