The daily deal website Woot.com (trusted, i've ordered quite a few things from them in the past, they are great) has original 7" Galaxy Tab CDMA units on sale (your choice of sprint or verizon) for $199 +$5 shipping.
seems like a great deal considering that I paid $350 on ebay for a well cared for tmobile SGT 7" about 3 months ago, and that seemed like the general used going rate. (honestly i feel a little insulted that it can be had for such a low rate now).
anyhow, just wanted to let people know about a great deal if you guys are interested. I am in no way affiliated with woot, just a happy past customer who is always out for a great deal.
http://deals.woot.com/sellout
also, btw, woot only keeps it's deals up for 24 hours max (or until they sell out of units), so if you're interested: the sooner, the better.
I JUST bought mine... it was too good to pass up, even if the model is not a good one for flashing on, which im sure it is because i've been looking at a 7inch tablet for a while now, it was too good a deal for a 16gb 7in for me to pass.
i got 2. one for my GF one for my Dad. I have a 10.1 and love it. A little dissapointed that it only has gingerbread but i guess thats because it is single core.
I was going to get my GF the Amazon Fire but a full tablet for the same price seems like the way to go.
not going to activate 3g though. wifi is fine.
Maybe the fact that Woot just sold 1500 CDMA tabs to a (generally) tech-savvy audience will spur some additional CDMA tab development ... never know!

Hi all,
I am not in U.S. and want to buy an atrix.
I asked one of my friends in U.S. to buy one and hope to unlock it to use it.
But my friend told me the ATT web page only showed on-contract price(499-300=$199) to him, which is same to me. We cannot find the off-contract price page as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952384
He also called ATT local store but was also told currently there is no off-contract atrix.
But I do see so many friends in the forum pre-ordered off-contract atrix.
I don't know what is wrong.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks
The Atrix wlll be available at AT&T stores this Monday the 21st. Off contract price is now listed at $499. Best Buy and Amazon should have them soon also. Of course it remains to be seen if it can be unlocked. You may want to hold off until people get a chance to play with it although I know it is difficult to wait. I hear they are working on quadcore and much faster processors for next year. I hope to have my Atrix on monday.
Same here, iam living in Europe searching for a way to get a new nextgen android device asap.
...currently comparing atrix and sgs2.
sgs2 release one month later than atrix.
However it seems not stronger than atrix.
sgs2 has gyro 2.3rom, but no hdmi
moto has fingerprint reader, but locked bl, no gyro, 2.2rom
hope update to 2.3 or 2.4 soon
really hard to choose
currently I prefer atrix. as I guess tegra 2 is more powerful.
hope to see benchmarks of sgs2 for further comparison
$499 does not seem to be that expensive at all. The Nexus S is still at $529 at Best Buy, who will then buy that ?! (OK, you get 2.3 and unlocked bootloader) but from a hardware point of view the Atrix is probably much better off.
I also agree that $499 is not that expensive. But I am afraid not everyone can get an Atrix in that price.
From the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952384
, it seems only Premier users of att can pre-order an off-contract atrix.(at even lower price).
But the $499 price atrix does not show to other users in ATT web page. at least, I can not see.
Ok, the price for nexus s is too much now.
What i didnt liked at sgs is the cheap look and feel with this hardware. Maybe similar at sgs2...atrix seems to be the winner here.
Did anyone read about which camera wins in this battle?
What you guys think about the display comparison?
CPU power is not so important i think, anything dualcore is kind of overpowered these days.
What really sucks with the atrix is this encrypted bootloader.
I wanna use current custom roms without apps that no one needs, or at least the option to use things like launcher pro.

Since the wi-fi version will come out on April 4 and the fact that the SGT has been out since November, how much do you think is a good price for a used SGT?
I have looked on Craigslist and the average price for the T-mobile version is $400.
There seems to not be a lot of AT&T version.
I do not want the Sprint or Verizon version.
Do you think a used SGT for $400 at this time is a good deal or should it be less?
I have the Xoom currently but I want to buy the SGT for my wife. It is small enough to put it in her purse.
Another question for you guys:
1. Would you buy the brand new AT&T SGT with its current price or a used $400 (with no tax) on a T-mobile SGT ?
Thanks.
I paid $499 for my VZW Tab and it was worth every penny. If you are buying it for what it does out of the box you won't be disappointed. If your like every other idiot I've met and you buy Android devices for what some developer MAY develop EVENTUALLY or not at all, you will be disappointed.
I also think $400 is a little high atm for a used Tab.
$300.00CDN. No more.
My threshold was sub $300. When it hit $299 at Costco for the VZW tab without a contract, I jumped on it. Development and BT capabilities are behind their GSM brethen, but it was worth the significant savings to me and it runs well for me overclocked to 1.4ghz.
I just paid 300 usd for my sprint one and love it. I dont like any other carriers data plans.

I saw this too....Not bad. Only issue I have with this deal is that it's refurbished with only a 90-day warranty from woot and then you're on your own if it takes a crap.

Return and get this one. Unless eBay one is new.
In Australia they are going for 299 new
swyped from a galaxy far far away...
Ok... i want one but i guess they dont send to sweden...
Given this deal, can the Sprint Tab be rooted and connected to Verizon's CDMA 3g, or is it permanently tied to Sprint's 3g network?
I'm thinking about buying it. I'm on the Viewsonic G Tablet forum only, so I don't know much about the Galaxy Tab development. How functional is the Honeycomb port for the Galaxy Tab? I just got Honeycomb installed on my GTab and so far its really good for an alpha build. The only thing not working is flash plugin, camera, and video hardware acceleration.
I just got mine from their last sale, and it works great, have had some over the air upgrades. I, too, have a viewsonic. I like the Galaxy size and the main reason was the built in GPS... Makes the Copilot work more reliable compared to the bluetooth Viewsonic. Of course the Viewsonic big screen is nicer to read documents and web...

Just bought one. I've got the wifi only version right now and really enjoy it. I'm listing that guy on ebay right now and I'm going to start the auction at $260 or so. It'll sell and I'll basically get upgraded hardware (faster processor, BT 3.0) at no cost. I'm down with that.
this must be limited availability... this is monster deal for 3G. thats 180euro
So If I have a current sprint plan with unlimited data, can this be added just like an extra line? obviously that wouldn't include the sprint hotspot. Or, will they require a separate plan?
I am about to hit Buy now, but is it worth it. Any serious opinions on the device from real users is what I like to hear, not reviewers. I own an iPad 2, which is hard to beat. Im no apple_boy either. Its the best thats why I own. Anyways I want a new Android tablet, I have owned one last year (Camangi WebStation) but I want to give it another go. How is the DEVin here, are there a few good ROMs?
I'm in for one, ready to upgrade from my Nook Color. Looking forward to the 1ghz processor and ff camera.

There are a few ROMs available... not near as active as say the HD2 forums or the Xoom forums... Overcome is pretty much the dominant ROM for GSM tabs. Alterbridge has both a 2.2 and a 2.3 rom available at the moment, and Spacemoose1 is currently working on development for Honeycomb for both the GSM and CDMA devices. If I didn't have one of these already, I'd be buying it... Someone point Deeper-Blue to this post so He and Space can develop HC together...
I've got a Nook Color as well and I am considering buying the G Tab on Woot too.
Not sure if I am going to pull the trigger on it, though. Besides cameras and a mic, what else would it give me that my rooted Nook Color doesn't have?
so it might be worth it. I was about to pull the trigger on the ASUS Transformer, but I went to best Buy this morning and it was sold out. I was available online there for like the past 3 days, now SOLD OUT
But I keep seeing these Galaxy Tabs for sale, some pretty good deals, its making me wonder if I should go Honeycomb, the post for this could be a ways away.
Put one on order for my dad, he's been drooling over my g tablet but I'm sure he'll be happy with one of these galaxy tabs. Couldn't beat the price.

Pretty good price. Choice of colors. Shipping's $5.00. You can get a SquareTrade warranty on it pretty cheap when they have their 30% off deals.

Already put my order in. I've been looking for an upgrade from my Nook Color, and at that price I couldn't pass it up.
I also picked one of these up. Leaving an Archos 7" for it.
i tried the ViewSonic GTab 10.1" also from Woot, and loved the perfomance. But it was more than 2x the weight of my 7" tablet and just a pig to hold, so I sold it.
Hoping that rooting and loading a lighter dev ROM will bring the Sammy up to optimization.
After missing the $250 Transformer at BB I had to grab this. Now I am jumping into a well established forum. Is there any mandatory reading for this device?

As the Republicans say, "Well, at least I got mine!"
So I got lucky and caught them before they sold out, any "Must Have" accessories for this puppy?
Refurbished. I always hated buying refurbished electronics. I always think there's something that's going to happen with it! haha. Lets hope not. Luckily, I got mine back in June .. made a trip to the states to pick it up and got stopped at border and had to pay customs
I recently picked this up on Woot as well... was ecstatic about this purchase.
I just bought the Pyro black carbon fiber case based off what I read in the accessories section, seems pretty spectacular, esp for the price.

With a Teg 2 and HC, very little. You'll get acceptable 720P but kiss 1080P good-bye. Some of the cooked ROMs have AllShare (Samsung's DLNA client) if not the app's in the dev section with instructions if you're rooted. It's also included in the stock 3.2 ROMs. There's an HDMI connector Samsung sells if you want a hard-wired connection.
Hello everybody,
Recently i have been looking at a load of tablets as I am interested in buying one soon. Now I al interested in the iPad 2, the Sony tablet s and the Asus transformer + WiFi.
I want to have a tablet to watch movies, play games, read books and make notes. And I just like the look and specs of this tablet as far as I could have seen and read.
I would like to know from you guys if there are things you dislike about the device or totally love. I have used the Sony tablet s and the ipad 2 but can't get my hands on this device. So Any feedback from you guys is welcome.
Regards

I love it. But only thing that i dislike is the Frame around the glass. It makes some sound if you "bend" it and stuff.. But nothing else to complain and the Prize $ is just great..
Also one problem is light bleed that i only have in 1 corner and its small and i really cant see it but in dark and when im watching movie but i doesnt bother me anymore at all : P
And eaven tf101 only has 2 cores its amazing fast afted ICS : P
-This is just My opinion.....
I bought myself a Transformer Prime for Christmas. Returned it after the GPS and wifi problems, bought a Lenovo K1 at a deal. It was slow and buggy and Lenovo's arrogance was overwhelming, with support totally lacking, so I returned it. I bought a barely used mint Transformer TF101 32GB with keyboard, locally for $325. It has no light bleed or any other problems and I love it!
The Prime was my biggest disappointment. But the original Transformer has restored my faith in Asus!
Wow.. my story is pretty much exactly the same as thomslik's.. except I payed $350.. grrr..
Anyway, I'm loving my TF101 and, for me, the ICS update has been problem free.
I would NOT recommend getting the iPad 2, it's much more limited than Android tablets.. especially with the keyboard dock on the Transformer.
The transformer is great not a problem out of it. I was gonna get the ipad 3rd generation but I don't want a big ipod that's all it is.
I like it. Good screen and fast. I wouldn't pay more then 300 for it at this point tho.
Best device i have ever brought myself so far i have a tiny bit of light bleed but everything else is perfect.
Its fast and does all the things you want to use it for also very very customisable i use a custom launcher themes apps system and kernel all to my preference

It still sells just about everywhere for 399 brand new. Why do you feel the price isn't justified now? Any reason besides having been out for a while? I think for what it offers compared to other tabs it has held its value quite well.

Because it will become outdated pretty soon. It's almost at the end of the one year cycle.
If anyone, living in the USA, buys a TF101 for $399 at this point, they have some terrible shopping skills. Refurbs are at $300 or lower. Even brand new 16GB ones are around $350.
I got mine "Used - Like new" from Amazon for like $240 a couple months ago.

I bought mine on the 17th from Fry's as they price matched an online site that was selling it for $349 w/ free shipping. I will say this site (bhphotovideo.com) was the only site I could find that was that cheap and not a refurb. Every other one I found short of eBay, who I refuse to use, was right around $399.
And not to split hairs but to that point, $350>$300 which is what I was originally quoting. My point is old or not, if the product still currently sits well compared to what's out now, I think it's worth it.
I'm just trying to determine whether to hold onto mine at this point but that's for another discussion...

So you paid $350 + tax, which is around $380.
Not worth it in my opinion. You probably don't realize it now because you just got it and it feels new to you.

Yeah. My only other option it seemed right now was either a Galaxy Tab or iPad 2 and the latter option is really not a consideration, but it was within the price range.
I'm digging the unit but as you said, it's all new to me. I'd love to see something solid on the near horizon as it might convince me to return this and wait but so far it's all just rumors and speculation.
Acer's quad core tablet is on presale for $449.99
In 2-3 months you will see 7 inch quad cores for $250.
Android 5.0 coming out in Fall.
So it depends on how badly you want a tablet right now.
Thanks everybody, I just ordered the 101 version without 3g, it is 400 euro in holland. But for the same price you get the ipad 2 or the Sony tablet. So I think its worth the price.

the iPad 2 is really nice but with the transformer you can install roms like nintendo 64, ps2, etc and play for hours on end. the whole stretch thing is pretty retarded with the iPad 2 and after a while really annoying.
I love both but if I could only have one it'd definitely be the transformer.
