Classic Nook in Germany

unsterblichkeit · 06-02-2010, 03:33 PM

Hi there,

i could not find an answer in web, so i registered in here, hope to find help

Does anyone know, if the nook "works" in germany?
I found a post elsewhere, where someone told he had bought it (over the sea, to germany) and likes it.
What i does not know is, if the wireless 3G thing works. I am not very technical, i have an iPhone that goes 3G, but do I need some kind of mobile phone contract to use it with 3G?
Well, i found the information that nook can connect over wireless lan, fine.
But do you suggest me to buy it?

Thanks for answering

Nook 3G doesn't work in Europe. That's the reason why I chose the Kindle 2.

Hi,

take a look in the german sub-forum...

You can Softroot your nook (as easy as a software update) and you'll get a much better device. Additionally you can insert any local SIM card (there's no SIM-lock) and use it with the nook (even to browse the web). Entering the valid APN settings for the new SIM is a bit more difficult than softrooting, but straight forward and well documented.

Bye, Dominik
