Do you have to activate 3G on the Tab? That just adds to the cost and I'd be willing to throw down $499 without it at BB and forego any cheaper price to avoid being locked into a two year agreement.
And if you get it at a B&M store, you get a 30 day return policy!  |
I bought a NC couple of months ago and did not like it. There is no landscape mode or ability to enlarge embedded pictures inside epub books. There is no Android Market either, is locked and it is heavy, even heavier than Galaxy Tab. Of course, there are people that would like it "as is", but I personally would not pay for a tablet device that has Linux but is locked. If you root it, you get access to Android Market but it is not an original device anymore. For the one who buy it with that in mind, would be a good choice.
You don't have to pay or get a contract in order to use a Galaxy Tab, at least not in Tmobile (here in USA) The tablet will cost you more initially but you won't be tied up to any contract, just a month to month plan and with
unlimited data access (internet plus texting) and you will save around 1 thousand dollars; do the math, that's what average the cost of the plan at the end of the contract.
