Default Picked up a new A100 at BB today for 169..

Im pretty happy with it,
its nice..

i had planned on getting a a500, but after playing at BB, the 10.1 is just too big for my hand and for use while im working (usps mail driver), the 7 inch is perfect.

they had a deal going on where u get 100 dollars off when u sign up for a mobile broadband device, so i did with the att elevate, but i will be taking it back within the 30 day return window, i got the device for 1 dollar on a price match because they did not have the verizon one i wanted and were not getting anymore in, the device was i think 80 dollars originally..

i think i really scored on this device.

i already put the gen1 update on it, and have it fully up to date on 3.2.1 2004.7 file when before with gen 2 it said it was up to date on 3.2

im very pleased.

i was going to root it, but since there arent many roms or other things for it, i dont think i will.

That sir is a steal at that price! The gen1 update seemed to help a lot on mine. Rooting can be beneficial as well. You can remove some of the "bloat" Acer installed from the factory as well as run crossix' custom build.prop. Between those two modifications it has become very smooth and responsive. And the battery life has improved some as well.

You might want to check out Best Buy's return policy on promotions. If the AT&T deal is anything like the HP Touchpad promo from a couple months ago, you will be charged the full amount for the tablet if you return the wireless device. Just a heads up.

Yes, you absolutely will be charged the normal MSRP if you return the "broadband card" as they call it internally.

Exactly! The $100 off was based on the other purchase with its monthly bandwidth. If you return it, it's like canceling your data plan on your phone. You pay the full price.
