no such offer outside North America!!! Damnit.
It will sell like hot cakes in Asia even if they slash $100 off the regular price.

It's sad to see something like this, feels just like when HD-DVD was announced dead and people can pick one up for $50 on ebay.

I think you can do that with an Iphone that is jailbroken and has the app to turn it into a wifi hotspot. I have a SGS and I do that with my 6 giggity data plan.

So i might have 4 - 16gb extra. Bought my 32's last friday from BB but didnt get confirmation all weekend long. Until i saw the Barnes & Noble deal last night took 4 - 16's. Then this morning BB approves my order. So if anyone needs em i might have 4 extra. Not gona make a buck off u guys. Just gona pass down the deal on what i paid for. B&N says 2-6 days shipping. Pm hoping to pick up this weekend if all goes well.

Thanks Mr.JDM. this will go nicely with my unlimited data plan

note: anyone else wanting one, just be patient. after a week or so the market will be soo saturated you may even be able to grab one for less than retail.

hoarders beware RFD has reported people being beat down when trying to sell.

Yup, if it is at all possible to get Android running on it well, it IS going to happen, and probably before too long.

I have a co-worker looking for a 32 gig or 16 gig. Does anyone have one for sale. Prefer face value. Not the $200 for a 16 gig on CL.
