Any got their Nook WiFi ?
Just after the announcement I placed my preorder for the WiFi Nook and it was supposed to be shipped on 23rd June. But this morning I got a mail from BN that it will be delayed by a month. Did anyone get their WiFi Nook ?

Nope, got the delayed message as well. 3G it is then.

Seriously? I am all set in buying the wifi but delaying this really sucks. Maybe by then something else will drop further in price and I will get something else.

It's a matter of the fact that the hardware may have received an update internally beyond popping out 3G. If I had ordered a 3G nook I'd have no qualms- it's relatively easy and very low risk.
However, if the hardware is different, downgrading to 1.0 could brick the device. |

Just got a text message from home saying the nook Wi-Fi has arrived.
Now to wish I was at home already for the next 8 hours... |

Right after I power up after the root "This nook will self destruct in 5 seconds" Then some theme music, then smoke starts pouring from the back... |

Hopefully it's just a regular Nook with the 3G module removed/disabled somehow. Troy |

According to some posts on the Nook forum, the one month delay is a standard response by the B&N order system, and chances are the real delivery date will be sooner.

However, I agree that I won't try softrooting mine until it's tested by someone far braver. Supposedly mine is shipping tomorrow...fingers crossed! |
