use code 207397 for discount to 185.07.
free shipping and no tax in CA.

I ordered one of these yesterday...can't wait to get a NC and flash CM7 on it!

Just ordered one! Can't wait to put CM7 on it. Thanks for the discount code!

Thanks for the code. Bought a new one from B & N for my son, and had a blast putting CM7 and OC to 1325 Mhz. Very usable and fun device.... I want one for myself!
Was thinking maybe I'd wait for a cool Honeycomb tablet ... after price drops. But after looking at some reviews and PRICE$, why wait? For someone who moves around, 10" is too big.
Was kind of looking for one on craigslist or something, but this works great!

...hmmm. Slight buyer's remorse:
Meritline has the refurbished Samsung SGX540 Galaxy Tab 16GB 7" WiFi Android Tablet for $319 - $49 off with coupon code MLC61J0QTNL1 [100 uses] = $270 with free shipping.

$90 for radio, gps and camera seems like a nice upgrade?

Nook or Tab?
Not sure if that tab requires some kind of activation or not? Read some reviews/videos lastnight comp Tab vs. Nook and the tab usually wins on most based on "out of box" exp. Don't think they had the latest tweeks on the nooks though. And most where comparing the Tab wi-fi only which is actually downgraded frim 3G one in a few ways.
Can live fine w/ GPS tether, no camera. Get by without actual buttons ok. Better dev here and build quality, and I'm getting used to the dpi and actually like it.

AT&T is selling a refurbished galaxy tab for $250, no contract. The only requirement is you have to buy a month of service, which can easily be canceled and refunded with a polite call to AT&T customer service.
My conclusion: DON'T BUY THE WIFI VERSION. Just don't. It is a scaled down version of the cellular version. So for the same price as the wifi one, why not? Also, both the nook and galaxy tab have great hacking communities so ROMs are plentiful in both cases, it just depends on whether the spec bump is worth it.

I got the nook, and so far am very happy with it. Does everything I have needed it to, with speed. Threw on the b&n hard shell case and a screen protector and it feels solid and protected now.

Thanks to the OP for this thread. I received the NC on Wednesday and had it up and running with CM7 stable the same night. I've added dozens of programs from both Android Market and Apps for Android Amazon.
I purchased many that I liked in the demo version.

When my ATT contract comes up in August I'm giving up on my Blackberry and switching to an Android Phone.

I just took advantage of a similar deal from Buy.com
** I was going to post a direct link but it won't let me because I'm new here. **
Mine shipped direct from B&N, not sure if the Overstock deal is the same. Just got it last night, and haven't had much time to play with it yet. I plan to get CM on it ASAP.

I received mine last week and registered it at Barnes and Noble. Then I received an email saying that I could buy the extended warranty, which covers breakage.
I stopped by BN last night and was told that you have two weeks from date of purchase to pick up the two year warranty. For $55 it sounds like a good deal to me!!!

Just curious if anyone with a refurbished nook has noticed any screen defects like dust under the screen or stuck pixels. I know I went through 4 nooks with screen defects before I got one without any problems. I know others have had similar issues. Wondering if a lot of these refurbished nooks are these returned ones.

is there a huge difference in "new" and "certified preowned"? besides the obvious price tag.

Mine was like new, which is what I expect of retailed pre-owns. If I didn't mind something with a few scratches or dents, I'd buy eBay used.

[Q] Dell Streak Optus Prepaid (Australia)

Hi All,
Just saw online that Optus is selling the DS7 for 279AUD. I was thinking about getting one, dont really need it because I've got a DS5 and I'm happy with my 5inch Streak. I just want to play with it and maybe enjoy a larger screen.
So ,DS7 owners..are you happy with the device? Is it worth it? I know that there are more powerful and better tablet out there. But I kinda loyal Dell fan(lame ..I know).I've got a Dell XPS17 and a Dell Streak 5..I think it will complete Streak family If I get the DS7.

279 AUD is approx the same in USD.
I'd say if you can get it under $250 or so it's a pretty good device, at least in the US it's not difficult to get one for that depending on what condition device you want.
It's pretty great if you take the price into account, I use my s7 the most out of the entire series (and I own the entire series). There might be better or newer devices, but the s7 is in a pretty sweet spot as it's more powerful then the kindle fire or so and cheaper then the gtab7+.
The screen isnt amazing, but it's not terrible.

thanks The Mannii for the input.I am gonna get this, I know I wont regret it. By the way this is not a WiFi only version I'm talking about.Its 3G, so I guess its a pretty sweet deal.

Dell Streak 7 worth $100?

I am on the market for a good tablet, is the dell streak 7 a pretty solid device? I owned a dell streak 5 previously and it had lots of issues with random reboots and such, even on the stock ROM.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App

For $100 definitely if it's in fair or better condition,
heck I'm willing to buy another for $100 for that to give to my parents.

OK, I just was wondering. My co-worker has 2 of them he must sell due to his divorce. So I will just buy both and use one for DEV and the other for daily use.

A buddy of mine had one he wanted to get rid of the other day. I picked it up for 100 and gave it to my 6 year old for his birthday. He's been happy with it so far.
Running stock HC on it. It does really well with most games, better than any of my phones. The battery life on it has been not the best. Had it less than a week now but I would gladly buy it again for 100.
Some of the quad core tablets announced at ces starting at 250 look a lot better though.

Lol I picked up one for my kids and I really like it too. I put stock Honeycomb on it and I have no regrets.

Given the opertunity to buy a DS7 for $100.00USD yes I would buy if I knew it was in reasonable condition and was functionable. Iam very pleased with my DS7 and since I have another complete otterbox defender case (which was a freebee) collecting dust right now, it's a no brainer, I'd jump on it.

i just paid 150 for mine so id do it if i was you lol

Not bad after price drop.

Now that theprice has dropped
It's got me thinking. I wonder if it's worth it...I guess if I keep a power supply handy.

got it
Mine came in yesterday. I like it, other than the weight. Need to find a cover for it now.

What rom is installed on it?
If you're unsure how to check its:
settings -> about tablet -> OEM version

Got mine in too...

For 139, its hard to complain. My only gripe is the screen. Its simply horrible. I have an Archos 70 and although the responsiveness is terrible, the screen on the archos actually looks better. I find it pretty hard to read some documents on the tablet. Overall, the size is good and the Tegra 2 is a great processor.

Selling/trading my DS7 to get a Nexus 7 (SOLD)

Hey all,
I love my streak, but I think it's time to make a move. Before I go to the marketplace section, I thought I would offer the Streak to the good people here.
Before I hand it over, the Streak will be flashed back to Froyo, includes an Otterbox Commuter case, a Dell dock and all associated power/usb cables. This is a T-Mobile model.
I'd like to get US$150.00, but any reasonable offer will be accepted. Local (US - NYC area) sale preferred but willing to negotiate other possibilities.
Thanks for your time.

I'm doing the same thing as well, for about the same price.

buyingplease allow me to be the first person to buy your streak. I live in san diego will pay the few dollars for shipping. Have paypal account to make the transaction easy.

I should mention I considered getting the Nexus as well HOWEVER... after strong thinking, Im sticking with my Streak 7. Why? Nexus tablet is already outdated. No expandable memory. So you pay 250$ for a 16GB, Least our streak has the external memory that you can upgrade.
Also no HDMI or USB on the nexus, then no 3G/4G band either. Soooo all in all, my streak 7 still wins. Now if you give me the Asus Transformer Infinity, ok, Ill switch.

Agreed, but I never really used my Streak to capacity. The Nexus fits my needs.

Sorry for the miss spelling in the last email.
I do not spell well or type when my wife is talking to me.
Try it again.
BTW I hope the screen is not badly scratched.
I will trust your judgement on what badly means.

I agree as well. The only drawback I see in the Streak 7 is its short battery life, which can be easily overcome with an external power pack.

No scratches - has a screen protector and a OtterBox Commuter case, which I will include. The DS7 itself is pristine.
Sorry for the delay, but the holiday has set me back, time-wise. I'll email you no later than tomorrow morning.
