so long as it isnt the wifi only version, I would say go for it.
make sure it isnt model P1010.It has inferior hardware compared to the original

AT&T dumped a bunch of refurbs on their site on Friday for $199.99 with no contract. I think if you're in the US you'll see a bunch of them pop up on Ebay shortly. First reviews of the received models are they look like they're brand new.

I would also consider things like exchange and warranty. Maybe it's worth the extra coin to you to know that if you have any issues with it you can exchange it or get it serviced under warranty?

With Gingerbread out now i would say yes get one as long as it is the GSM version and not a wifi version.

Well I finally jumped on it. Its the cdma version from sprint. Why does that really matter, custom roms and such? I'm using wifi only. I love this thing.

Because with the gingerbread rom browsing the web is way faster. It's another level. Not frustrating anymore when there are many flash animations. There's no lag at all with flash videos even in 720p.

I jumped ahead and bought it for $250 + taxes. It is great but I'm contemplating whether to return it or not. It's the 3G at&t edition. My concern is that its not dual core and at&t and t-mob are just dumping these out to make the 10.1 model ready for release. I have no issues with its performance but its just that it's not dual core and I forsee lag in upcoming applications. Anyone has any thoughts on this?

Can a Verizon Tab be used as a HotSpot???

I am locked down with AT&T at the moment but would like to use Verizons data from time to time. I am looking to take advantage of the $20/Month 1GB Tablet Prepay data plan Verizon offers.
My question is, if I have a Samsung Tab can I root it and use it as a hot spot so my Laptop can tether off the Tab??
Thanks,

yes! if you're using the stock rom installed (froyo) there is an app preinstalled that comes with the tab that enables tethering. ive used it twice.

Thanks,
And can you confirm that it does not require a tethering plan to do this?
If this is the case I will pick up a Tab asap.
Thanks again.

Disregard that last request...
I did a chat with Verizon and it seems that HotSpot is included in all Tablet plans. So I am golden and off to shop Craiglist.
Thanks again,

I purchased my tab strictly for the tethering service for $49 the week before the new tabs came out and it works great.

Have any of you changed ROMs and still been able to use these features? I am having all sorts of issues with 3G dropping when using the stock 2.3.5 ROM but I can't find any other ROMs that have the Verizon Data Service menu required to activate the month to month verizon plans for the Tab.

Radio?

Hi as i wait for my skyrocket to get fixed a friend loned me a nexus one with the s/n ending in 100 t-mobile in the us or videotron in canada my original network is rogers like att in the us.
My question is this if i flash a 110 version on this 100 version phone would it unlock the radio bands needed for 3g or is it really hardware specific?

Not being from the US or Canada I can't answer that directly. However something tells me that you can't/shouldn't do it.
Be very careful or you could end up bricking it. Perhaps you'd be better off using it "as is" until you get your own phone back.

Exactly...skip the activation. Watch youtube videos on how to skip activation on the Droid 4. The activation bypass works on Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jellybean.

How to tell the Difference between the at&t vs the t-mobile

How do I tell the difference between the two models?
Thanks

To determine what version of the Nexus One you have, take the battery out and look for the FCC ID number:
FCC ID NM899100 is T-Mobile 3G
FCC ID NM899110 is AT&T 3G

Thank you. I i will look as soon as I can
