Sprint’s Galaxy Tab to Be Reduced to $200 on Contract April 3rd

47

We’re not surprised, but Sprint is said to be discounting their Samsung Galaxy Tab come April 3rd. It’ll get a $100 reduction to bring it down to $200 after signing a new two-year data agreement. It seems the device’s off-contract price will be getting a few dollars shaved off of itself, too, as the suggested retail price is said to be going down from $499.99 to $429.99. Good luck, Sprint, because there are a wave of WiFi-only Honeycomb tablets coming that will make most of us pass this seemingly-lucrative deal right on up. [via Engadget]

The "Google Phone" sounded too awesome to pass up, so I bought a G1. The rest is history. And yes, I know my name isn't Wilson.

  1. A tablet that requires a contract is incredibly unappealing to me. I’ll wait for cheaper wi-fi only ones and tether from my phone if need be.

    1. Agree. I would rather pay $500 for a tablet than $200 plus another $720+ for two years of data, taxes, and fees. There is free wifi in my house, my office, and wherever I plug my Evo into a charger in a pinch.

  7. I’m glad to hear this announcement. As someone who needs to be connected ALL the time, I can’t rely on free WiFi being everywhere. I need the 3G service, so this is welcome news.

  13. Yeah, I agree… the $30 2g 3G plan for Sprint’s Tab is a nice deal,,,yeah, you can tether it from your phone, but your phone will be dead in 1-3 hours probably. U also can’t send MMS which is handy when sharing.

  30. So….$200 plus $720 plus taxes and fees over two years….damn near $1000 for a tablet that isn’t even gonna get Honeycomb now that they have decided not to open source it? No thanks. I have access to wifi almost any time I would be using a tablet (work, home, car) so you can keep your bundled plans. Not something I need when I already have a phone in my pocket.
