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.

Buying a refurbished Nexus 7

Hello everyone,
I've been looking around for a tablet for a few weeks and the Nexus 7 is on the list of possibles.
I was just wondering if it would be a good idea to hang on for a refurbished Nexus 7. Are there more 8gb versions going back than 16gb's? Reading all the feedback Google must be awash with returns and I was wondering how they intend to move these products on. (Apple sell refurbished ipads on their website)
what do you reckon? Worth waiting for a refurb?

If they do openly sell them, I say go for it. I only experienced the screen lift, and is probably an easy fix.
As for people with screen dead spots/washed out color. I can only imagine the only way they fix it is with a new display, so that would be another go for it. That's if they sell as refurbed.
Bit seeing this device has such a small profit margin, I doubt they will sell refurbed devices

i would buy a refurbished one. im currently in the process of returning mine, screen lift and light bleed, and i would definitely buy a refurbished unit. all refurbished items i have bought before (phones,laptops,tablets,ipods) have work just fine like new............ and their always cheaper

I was just thinking of how much these will sell for in a year or two. They're cheap new.... so ~$100 resell? Seems crazy.
Refurbs probably won't be THAT much cheaper, maybe $150. I'd almost rather just buy new. I don't think your really going to save hundreds like you could with a 10" tablet of yesteryore.

Refurbished units will have gone through more QC than new units. I would go for it. I bought my kindle fire refurbished and it was perfect.

The majority of times, refurbs aren't actually refurbs, but new units marked down and relabeled. It's one way to move excess inventory w/o impacting the SRP. That KF you got is most likely new.
BTW, you can definitively tell whether a CE is "new" or refurb by cracking it open. Those that have been opened (refurbed) will always leave tell-tale traces.
N7 is still supply-constrained for the near future, so chance for an "unofficial" markdown is slim. One way that could change is if upcoming competition from Amazon and Apple is fiercer than expected.

I'd wait. I've had good luck with refurb devices in the past. Amazon sold the Kindle Fire for $140 refurbed a few months after release.

That wouldn't make sense from a business perspective. It's better to replace the screen (or parts) and sell refurbed for a $60 loss over just trashing the unit for a $170 loss. Not everything has to turn a profit, just minimize the loss.
I would almost guarantee there's a refurbed unit. But whether it's available in the US is another thing.

I see a long time ahead before refurbs hit the market. Probably a year. In the meantime they will take the parts and use them when someone sends in for warranty repair. Just because thee is screen separation does not mean you get a new unit. It might right now due to their inventory. But give it a month and you will start seeing refurbs sent out for warranty repairs.

Aaaahhh... maybe they're selling to other countries as new...
A little shady, but possible where their laws wouldn't prohibit such an action[/SIZE][/SIZE]

If you want it, why torture yourself and wait for a used unit only to save a few bucks?
You could check the XDA Market for guys selling theirs for a few bucks less or do yourself a favor and Buy it now and buy it new, with a warranty at a brick and mortar store in case you need to exchange it for another in the event there is some defect (screen lift).

refurbished ones should have more qc, new ones are like beta coz of the numerous issues, i say go for it if u can find it, saving a few bucks is another plus

[Q] Nook+HD right time to buy?

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.

Best buy and other places have them for $150. Some people have picked them up for ~$100.
I don't know if we will see another $99 fire sale like the hp touch pad

I'm tempted too...can anyone post a screenshot of how the zinio app looks like on this screen?
I want a tablet where I don't have to zoom in to read the texts in the magazine.

Zinio looks great. Text is a good size. Easy to rest if out have decent vision. Pictures look amazing.
I'm reading the car and driver mag with the new Corvette and I can zoom in and see lots of details

I got mine at B&N this weekend with the member 10% off coupon for the Nooks. It was also tax free as part of my state's back to school holiday. So, I ended up paying $161 total for a 32gb Nook HD+.

What i dont understand is that's they are selling the tf700 for the same price O_0
That being said too bad i dont have enough money right now i may have been tempted even (if i d prefer an azerty keyboard)
Never saw it that cheap in my country
Its the price of second hand tf201 here
edit: ok it is the dockless version, i understand better, still, i googled a bit and found very unusual pricing for all the transformer device.
the prime is usually more expesive than the the tf700 or 701 which are almost at the same price than the tf300 .
i'm lost -_-

Tablet on sale new for $240 on Amazon!

Just ordered mine. That's a steal for this brand newly released tablet. Spread the word so hopefully more people will purchase this device and we'll see more development activity on this forum. Here is the link:

we ordered two today to replace our nvidia shields. i was eyeing the asus zenpad, but for 60 bucks cheaper the huawei seemed like the better deal.

I noticed that the version only has 2.4ghz WiFi. Is it possible to enable the 5ghz band, assuming it's possible?

Looks like the sale is over with..... Damn must have just missed it.

Yeah it was a black Friday deal. It was up for a few days though. I recommended it to a few friends. It's pretty awesome actually. I'm on it right now. I read that the 5ghz wifi isn't enabled because of some fcc requirement so maybe someone knows how to enable it by running a kernel from the original version or something?

They have them back in stock now. They also added the more premium version with 64GBs of storage and a gold metal back for $370 if I'm not mistaken. Pretty sure this is the version that also comes with the high end earbuds. They also have the silver 32gb for $299. Honestly both are still very good prices for what you get. Only other tablet that is as premium is the iPad mini 4 and that's still double the price with nasty iOS.

Pretty sadly, that's the only Android tablet released by a major player in USA in 2016, and barely anyone even noticed...

Got mine yesterday, very happy with it, premium build, excellent display, good sound. Only thing I hope is that we get EMUI 5 next year.

Sorry, probably won't help you. I ordered from a local retailer in Switzerland and got the EU version.
