First off, let me say thank you to all of you for posting about this printer. I have been on the fence sometime about purchasing it. Today I went to Walmart to get groceries and have pics (project life) printed. To make a long story short, Walmart was having problems with their photo machine and I had to wait longer than usual to get my pics. This was very frustrating and ultimately what led me to best buy buy. I had no idea the machine was on sale, but extremely excited when I saw it on the shelf. I even had rewards zone points which made it even cheaper. Thank God I listened to that inner voice. It was meant for me to get this machine today.I haven't tried it yet. I hope to try it out tonight...and yes, I bought extra ink and paper, too.
I have been reading every single post about the selphy. I just felt I should return the love. Thank you so much...again!
ETA-------this printer is amazing!!!!!! I am so satisfied with the prints and overjoyed that I won't have to wait one hour for weekly PL prints. I have set it up wirelessly so that we can print from our phones and it was easy! Now, how do I set it up so my dd can print pics from her iPod gallery? Is it possible? |

Only the black one is on sale...sorry. I don't even remember seeing the white one in the store. Amazon will probably be a better deal for you. |

Happyinmyroom you will love it! I put a selphy print next to a print from Walgreens and the selphy was much better. My husband even agreed. I am so happy with it! Just make sure you buy extra ink and paper. It only comes with enough ink for the 5 sheets of photo paper included. |

The BF just sent me an order confirmation to pick mine up at BestBuy tomorrow!!! So excited!
Edit: thanks for the heads up about price matching. I already ordered 3 sets of three cartridges on Amazon but if they will match the deal I got ($22.75 for the 3-pack) I will cancel that order. I'm a huge fan of immediate satisfaction. |

It absolutely prints from Droids. I have a Samsung Galxy s3 and my husband has the Samsung galaxy note 2. It prints pics from both of our phones just fine. You just have to download the app. I set up the printer through infrastructure mode through our wireless network. |

The 800 does not have wireless printing. Other than that I think they are the same. I have the 800.

This printer sounds so great and I'm tempted, but I just think I'm too particular (ahem, anal) to not have true 4x6 prints.  | |

Harper, on one hand I feel the same way. On the other, if picture printing and organizing is what is getting in the way of me being successful in scrapbooking and PL, then perfect is the true enemy of the good. For me, he convenience wins in the end. |

I saw this post 6 hours too late! The sale is over for the 69.99 price. The white one is on sale for 79.99 on Amazon though. Thinking it may still be a good deal?

I ended up picking one up from Best Buy this past week. They had plenty in stock and only in black. I also picked up two packs of paper for the Amazon price. I also have the Charm, but like the idea of printing pics from my phone. DD will love using it too. |

The pictures, according to their specs, are 3.9 X 4.8. I haven't held it up to a 4 X 6 to see how critical it is. |

I can't believe I missed the Best Buy sale! First I waited too long on Amazon and they raised the price. And now BB. I am sooo bummed. I really want a Selphy but can't afford the $99 price tag.
I'm going to keep stalking Amazon and hopefully they will drop the price again. | |
