Looking for a Tablet? AWESOME Woot deal 5/25/11 ONLY
Posted: Wed May 25, 2011 8:33 am
TODAY (5/25/11) ONLY - Samsung Galaxy Tab for $259.99!
They're usually no less than $300 - and that requires a 2-year commitment with a wireless contract.
These are Wifi and 3G (Sprint) but require no contract! Just turn off the 3G and enjoy!
Alternatively, you could get a data-plan to go with it from Sprint, and use the "hotspot" capability for other devices, but PERSONALLY I'll be doing the opposite - using the "wireless tether" on my smartphone to connect the Tab to the 'net when no wifi is available.
It also has a front-facing camera so it can be used for video-conferencing/skype/etc., and a 3MP rear-camera with "flash" for regular pics. No, 3MP isn't fantastic, but it's still decent...
All other specs detailed at above link...
This is an AWESOME deal. The *ONLY conceivable "drawback" is that it's a "refurb", but IMHO refurb is LESS likely to have problems than a "new" unit.
I've bought lots of refurb tech from Woot over the years and *NEVER* had a bad device.
I DID have a single "bad experience" - the accessories were missing from an apparently opened box. I e-mailed Woot and they sent me everything I was missing overnight-express so I had it the next morning *AND* gave me a small ($10 IIRC) "credit" for my trouble.
I have no relationship (except as a happy customer) with Woot - but this is a GREAT deal and wanted to share!
