I was thinking of getting the OEM dock from the US but I am pleased to see that Brodit are now producing a passive holder for the Tab. It is now on the DSL website for pre-order in the UK. They are hoping to have them before the end of the year but no certainty. Seems to be only available in the passive form but that's what I want. Search for item 511209 on either the Brodit website or the DSL website.
I've ordered a VERY similar mount on ebay, look it up!
Looking for the active one myself!
click and go, nothing beats that, no additional fuzz with cables....
Thanks for shareing info !!!
30 bucks is n cheap. But anyway ... have to buy it

New mount coming from RAM
http://www.ram-mount.com/NewProducts/ramadaptacradle/tabid/3616/Default.aspx
Appears to be coming on Feb 11, 2011. This is probably the one I'll be getting.
Multiple pictures and details at the link. If you "add to cart" the price shows $28.47. Unknown if that will be the actual retail price or not.

That RAM mount looks nice, and with the customizable cups, looks like it can hold my Tab while in the folio case. That price though is just to hold the Tab; you still need one of the mounting options which vary in price (none of which I would consider "cheap"). Maybe retail pricing will be much less..
I agree, some of the RAM mounting accessories you need to "make" a complete solution can be pricey. The good thing for my case, is that I'm already using a RAM solution for my Nexus One. Interchangeability rocks!
Looks like Overstock has some Refurbished Nook Colors for $199

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!

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.

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.

Wow, impressive. Did you pick the free shipping option? UPS hasn't populated for my tracking number yet. Were there any extras not mentioned on the BB site?
Edit:
NM, tracking is available. Ships from Maumee, OH (near Toledo). I'm just like 90min from there, so hopefully I'll get it tomorrow (I didn't order till late in the afternoon yesterday).
Got mine. Nice enough shape in refurb box, and the accessories all look to be unopened and new.
One thing I didn't see was the headset mentioned... Is that in the Tab box itself? (Left my boxes at work.)
Only thing I'm not a huge fan of is it feels a bit sluggish compared to my Galaxy Note. Hoping the upcoming ICS update will help. Otherwise, I'm very impressed. The screen is nice, 8.9 might be the perfect size for me, the accessories are great and I freakin LOVE THAT IT DOCKS HORIZONTALLY. I wish everyone provided that option.

Yea free shipping! I ordered it in the morning though. Really happy with the deal. All the accessories are brand new. Keyboard dock and leather case are the best ones. I don't see my self using the SD card reader or regular dock.

When I got mine, it was slow out of box on honeycomb 3.1. I upgraded to 3.2 and noticed a speed gain by a good margin. Try upgrading if you havent .

I ordered one as well but tracking is saying it won't be here until next wednesday…blah. I'm in AZ. Excited to get it though, I'm thinking 8.9 will be the perfect size.
@slatestud
Thanks! Yep, 3.2 did help... Just got ICS on my Note, hope the 8.9 update is released soon.
Still really happy with the 8.9. Great little device. The sleeve for the tablet is very nice and the keyboard dock is awesome!
Can't believe I got all of this for $300...
EDIT: And yep, the headset/headphones are under the little booklet in the box.
Bummer. Mine isn't scheduled to get here until Monday. Was hoping to get it today so I could play with it over the weekend.
Awesome that the accessories are all brand new. Quite the deal.
Heres a great deal I found on the Zagg Flex Keyboard/Stand. It costs 79.99 on their site. Sometime for 69.99 when on sale. Amazon has it for 57.28 on their site. But heres the real deal:
http://www.all4cellular.com/product/zagg-zaggkeys-flex-bluetooth-keyboard-bulk.html
ONLY 34.99 while supplies last because of overstock. If you look at the value this was a deal breaker I could not pass up. I paid 2$ sipping so my total was 36.99. If you look at the reviews the build quality and features are top notch. I'll use this for the keyboard and continue using my 10" Belkin neoprene case for transporting the tablet until the smartcover officially from Samsung (Still Hopeful) drops.
Good luck for those of you interested in a keyboard.
Heres a link to their commercial:

Wow. This is a steal. If I didn't have one already, I'd get one. I bought one at 80, and I don't regret it, thought I wouldn't have minded to save a bit of money.
This keyboard is amazing and works almost perfectly out of the box. But when you combine this keyboard with this app, you will actually want to use your N10 for productivity. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apedroid.hwkeyboardhelper

Nice find! Just paid $31.16 for mine and I can't wait! :good:
I picked one up at Target, and while it performed well it just felt exceedingly cheap to me. The plastic case didn't have any structure to it and warped easily unless I was using it on a desk. Typing with they keyboard balanced on the arm of the sofa (for example) just didn't work for me. It has since been returned and I'm looking into other keyboard options.
Thanks for the find. Just ordered and was able to use the 20% off promo code someone else posted.
Damn, wish I had a extra $31.

Is anyone trying to order from overseas and having problems? Sometimes the site shows a shipping quote, sometimes it wont, it doesnt except my credit card and when i use paypal, it doesnt add any shipping costs.
All in all it would be a great deal, even with the $30 shipping costs, it's still almost half the price of what i pay in europe.

Howdy folks,
I'm currently rather broke but sorely tempted by the newly price reduced nooks. I'll cut right to it:
Do you guys think they will come down further?
Would you endure several weeks of mac n cheeze to have yours?
Thanks for your insights!
yes. absolutely.
I'd expect it to drop by another 10%, but you could probably get that by buying second hand on eBay. (I did)
I paid $50 for mine (HD+) the other week when they were on super discount at office max
picked mine up from walmart for 179. even at this price its a steal.
