Really? $99 + 24 months at $20 (1GB plan) = $580 yeah that's really cheap- and i would guess you're not a business major - and that's assuming you can find a $99 offer -

at only $200 (via craiglist), i use my nook for browsing, reading, watching videos, watch netflix, playing games, texting, social networking - don't miss or need the mic, gps or camera at all and at 1.3GHz my nook runs circles around my SGT 7 inch (but my google IO runs circles around both of these)

oh and if i want to use gps, i can use my phone to send the signal over to the nook via bluetooth gps

so the question really is - is mic and camera worth $380 to you?

You also lose the microphone as well.

Why spend more money on Nook and have to screw with it to make it INTO a Tab, when you can buy a Tab cheaper than a Nook and have it do all you want it to do?

It's like buying a skateboard and turning it into a car for $10,000 when you can buy a car for $5,000.

SGT Refurb $99 3G TMO

With no 3G why would there be a monthly charge? I bought mine outright and have no ongoing payments. Wifi only means not using the phone network or paying for it.

Okay, here's my latest. The Airplane On, Wi-Fi On trick worked on the store display model. I bought a 3G and took it home, intending not to activate the 3G account at all. But the Tab won't let me get past the opening Activation screen to just use it on wi-fi. Any way around this?


  1. Press “Volume Up” once.
  2. Press “Volume Down” twice.
  3. Press “Volume Up” three times.
  4. Press “Volume Down” four times.
  5. Enjoy!
