Just bought this today! Been watching a4c.com (and others) dailey because I knew they sell for this price periodically and today is one of those one day sales. I'm too new to post a link, but easy to find..
Sale's over, price is back to $184.95, but shows out of stock. Looking forward to my GWR arrival.
My GWR arrived today, rather slow shipping. However the watch seems to be in A1 shape, given it's a refurb that's good news.
Damn, I missed it. I really want one.
I find it way more attractive than the Urbane, and it has the same specs (right?)
I kept the page open in my browser and every morning for almost two weeks I refreshed the page. Could hardly believe when that Saturday morning it popped up for the price I had been waiting for.
Sometimes they discount them by using a coupon code, so I had another page open that list codes and would refresh that one too everyday.
I had setup a Google alert, but they tend to show up the next day causing you to miss one day sales. As you can see, I earned this one! Slow shipping, but the watch is perfect.
Yeah, pretty sure the guts are the same as the Urbane.

First of all I would like to say wow! What an amazing forum. Best I've seen on anything relating to Winmo.
After seeing so much advancement at Opal development (including the recent rom for 6.5), I began thinking of getting one myself. The cheapest one I found was
$191 at gadget circle
then
$219 at TimTechs
and
$226 at Plemix
Are these deal too good to be true? Anyone have any past experience with these dealers?
Thanks!
Here in Italy I buyed it for € 250,00 about two months ago
man i wish i would have seen this sooner. i just ordered mine, 236 shipped.
oh well, just my luck. but it will be here soon so oh well.
plemix takes 10 dollars off of orders if you use the youtube10 redemtion code.
ive never really looked, or heard of gadget circle (guess i should book mark it). i have heard of timtechs
shipping prices at gadget circle dont seem right, less than 6 dollars? i dont know about that
I ordered my phone from Timtechs. It came to $250 with shipping. I ordered it very early Tuesday morning like 1 am. I got it today at 10am it was the fastest shipping ever. The phone came just as expected the box was a lil' beat up but i think that is fedex and they gave me the CDs and manuals for the touch 3G but that fine really didn't need them anyway. What they don't tell you is that it ships from Hong Kong. I wasn't till i got the fedex tracking did i see where it came from. On their site it said it was based in DE but i got my phone all the same so I don't care. Overall I have been very happy with my experience with them, and I probably would/going to order from them again. And they even gave me a niffy Timtechs sack YAY!
PS I think gadgetcircle and timtechs are the same company. their website look very similar and customer service description are the exact same. and to get a phone shipped to the US I had to order more than $400 on gadgetciricle
Sorry about that skaroger. And thanks for the tip
Good to hear that ginronin. Thanks for the input as well.
its all good man, set to be here tomorrow. and i ordered thursday.
191 is a hell of a price, especially if its true. i wouldnt pass up on that if you were thinking of purchasing one.
i already got a bunch of software ready to install when i get my phone
DailySteals.com has the Nook Color for $150 today only. Cheapest price yet! If you're on the fence (like I was), this will do it!

Please put "Factory Refurbished" on the title.
Anybody received theirs?
Here's my story:
Order placed 9/30.
Tracking number issued 10/6 (OK, fair enough; they claim within 6 business days). UPS shows "A UPS shipping label has been created . . . ". That means the shipper has done the UPS paperwork, but not yet actually shipped the item.
Today is 10/12, still shows the same. I chatted with support rep yesterday, she said she had no information and I should e-mail "[email protected]" so they could "check with the warehouse".
E-mail sent yesterday, received automated acknowledgement, but have heard NOTHING since then. When I call, I get an automated message that they will be closed on Thursday and Friday, and reopen on Monday.
Sooo, has anyone else ordered from them and actually received their Nook?
Yes. Got mine today. As did a friend who ordered the same deal.
For some reason, it shipped UPS to my town, then was handed over to the USPS for delivery. That's a new one on me.
I picked one up from Overstock. It looked brand new. No problems or dead pixels. This is the way to get a Nook Color. My only concern is if you have some issue you have to mail it in instead of just returning it to a local store.
I also ordered it Sept. 30th from dailysteals.
It arrived Oct. 12th.
Screen was perfect, everything worked as expected.
Apart from taking crazy long to ship, I'm happy so far.
Okay, it looks like they lost mine
I'll just have to wait until they reopen on Monday. At this point, though, they have to rank as one of the *worst* sites I have ever dealt with in terms of responsiveness (I know, I know; "you get what you paid for").

Yeah. Shipping is pretty horrendous. I'm STILL waiting as UPS sent it to USPS without scanning it, so it's a ghost in the system. It sat in a warehouse for around 3 days. Hope you guys are enjoying your devices. I'll probably have UPS pay for mine since they lost it. There goes my deal.

I ordered mine from this site on 9/30 (at about 10 minutes till midnight). Like others here, it seemingly took forever for them to hand the package off to UPS, who shipped it 99% of the way and then handed it off to the USPS for final delivery. Mail was unusually late today, it didn't come until around 5pm, but they did have my order. All told, it took 2 weeks from ordering to final delivery. Granted, the shipping was free, but it was the slowest shipping I have ever had the displeasure to use.

I can tell you, it will be the last thing of value that I will purchase from them. Good deal, horrendous shipping and less than average customer service.

And just an update, I have received my Nook in fine condition, and just took the slow route.

My mother was after a tablet. She didn't want an iPad, so I told her to try out a 10in and a 7in Android in a store an decide what size she liked the best. She liked the 7, so I said I had a Nexus7 on pre-order, and she could try it out when it arrived.
I took mine over last Sunday (29th July), she instantly loved it, ordered the 16GB there an then from Google Play store, I warned her it might take a week or so, but I was shocked when it arrived early on Tuesday morning (31st July). It's also defect free, and she is overjoyed with it so far. She has already spend her £15 on content.
Well done Google. They seem to be ontop of things now for sure, at least in the UK. Mine arrived perfect condition, but was delayed by a few days (not the end of the earth, despite the impression you would have got reading here).
The new ones don't need a OTA either, it arrived with 4.1.1 ready installed.
I got next day delivery and a perfect unit also, first wave UK device.

I bought one for my mom, she immediately fell in love with it. My dad has an iPad and she doesn't like it b/c it's too heavy, and also because Apple sucks balls.
Nice Story.. my mother liked mine too, especially playing "wheres my water". I will buy her one for birthday hopefully I can purchase it here (germany) until then. Importing 5 pound of Walther Whites blue crystals is easier to get a Nexus 7 from UK to Germany
My mom probably plans on getting one, she just needs to get rid of her nook color. I can always tell when I show her my new toys if the next time i hear from her it will be "hey how do I do this on mine"
I got that when she was playing with the nexus. She also made sure before i left, so I'd want the 8gb, or the 16? lol
I'd get one for me and one for my mother, if only it was available in italy and you could buy something other than apps and books on the market...
Please google give us newpapers at least!
So since there are several of these threads:

I decided I should share my story. So here it goes...
I got lucky and sold my Kindle Fire for the same price I bought it for and decided to take the plunge on the Nexus 7 despite all the negative comments here. Every store and online site seemed out of stock for days. Then I caught wind that I could order it in the store at Staples. So I went to my local Staples on the July, 17th and placed the order. The staff was friendly and helpful in the ordering process. Then, 3 days later, it arrived at my door. Free shipping to boot (the invoice said shipping was $9.99 but then there was a $9.99 credit).
I opened the box and my heart sank. "Google...how could you ship a unit with no charge?" I thought. Okay, so I plugged it in and waited for what seemed like weeks for the 2-3 hours to pass to get a full charge. I unplugged it and turned it on. Then, the inevitable happened... The screen came on!
I looked at the dark background with the green robot and the Next prompt. Nervously, I tapped the screen...and then it happened!!! It....responded to the touch! I worked my way through the prompts. However, when I tried to connect to my wireless network it...worked.
Looking at the edge of the screen on all four sides I noticed it...I noticed it right away...there was no light bleed or separation.
This can't be happening I thought...and then I picked it up and held it in my trembling hands knowing that finally...finally...there was the last shoe dropping. When I gripped the edges of the tablet, sure enough...it didn't creak or make any noises.
Knowing full well that the end is never the end, I logged into the play store. Within 30 seconds came the *ding* showing I had new mail in my GMail account. Sweat on my brow, hands trembling, I tapped on the GMail icon. "Your $25.00 Google Play balance is ready to use." was the title of the e-mail.
My heart sank...I felt cheated in my experience. Everyone else had so much excitement...so much drama...and I had...nothing. Just a fully functional, working tablet without a single technical or operational flaw. I hate Google for making this such a positive experience for me while making so many others go through countless issues.
As I reflect on this, I think I need to start a petition on Change.org and possibly bring a law suit against Google for giving me such a dramatically different experience than everyone else on the planet. *******s...
lol that sucks dude, I feel for you. I had the same exact experience as you so I feel your pain.
FYI just so you know Staples offers free shipping to purchases over 100 dollars or some amount near that. At least that's what it said when I attempted to order it through the Staples website.
You do realize you have jinxed yourself by posting this.
The next post we see from you will be:
"Help! My dog ate my Nexus 7, and all I can find is a bit of the silver bezel. What do I do now??".
Grats on your successful receipt on what is unquestionably the best $250 tablet going!
Wait till you Brick It !

Anybody use it with the z2? Heard it not great with z1, but wonder if updates and an updated phone help.
Just bought it last night at Best Buy. Funny story.. I went to look for it because my wife and I are going on vacation next week. Normal price was for $299. This Best Buy I was at happened to have one left in stock. When I called the employee over to take it out of the glass cabinet, I saw it on sale for $229. I asked him, is this for real!? He looks at it, takes it to his supervisor, and they sell it to me for $229. Come to find out that was the Black Friday sale price, and no employee ever bothered to take it down. How hilarious that it had been there for over a month and I happened to be the lucky soul that got it at that price.
Anyway, I'll happily report my findings here when I get to it!
I think you are mistaken. In available stores it has been $225 for a while now.
(I cant post links as I am new member but look up bestbuy website)
I bought mine before Christmas along with 2 other mods and got an additional 25% off. I think that offer too is still available now.
I have it now. The zoom does work well. The flash really helps in low light.
Some times a pain to use it again after going to another app or review pictures as it closes.
Got it new off eBay for 200. Still to much if you ask me.
I have it. It's decent and zoom works great for kids sporting events... Processing and quality still isn't as good as Samsung or pixel or iPhone...
