Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition already in store! (YMMV)

[jd78]

I was at my local Best Buy this morning a noticed they had the recently reported Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Student Edition in their steel cage. I asked them for a price and it rung up at the reported $249 price and they let me purchase it with no issue.

I can't compare it to the skyrocket as I have never seen one in person, but yes it's fairly shiny and smooth plastic. Which is ok to me since I think a rubbery white back may be more prone to discoloring.

I want that keyboard.

Wow! Still on sale at BB. No student restrictions. Going to pick it up tomorrow. Includes the $20 USB Host adapter that takes USB anything including memory sticks out of the box. No rooting like Nexus 7. An HDMI adapter is available if you want it. I was considering the Nexus 7. I have a Galaxy Nexus Verizon phone which has the now free hotspot app installed to provide Wi-Fi to the tab anywhere.

Seriously... the keyboard... available separately?

I got the same bundle on Tues and have barely put it down. Sometimes it's easier to have the smaller tablet instead of the 10". Previously I was using the SGP 5.0 but traded it in at Best Buy.

I'm using the usb connecter for my wireless mouse. Very nice setup. I originally purchased a Nexus 7 from Office Depot but ended up returning it the same day due to the screen lifting. Then I found out about the GT2 Student Edition at Best Buy. I am sooooo happy that I ended up with this one instead. It's a great tablet and the keyboard and usb adapter are so nice! Not to mention, it's very nice looking. Reminds me of the SG3 as far as style and color.

I'll be honest, ever since my very first white "i" device I've wanted nothing but white phones and tablets. Prior to the original Evo I can't recall Sprint carrying white phones. If they did it was probably something I wasn't interested in.

When they did come out with the white Evo I was heated because I already had the black. If Sprint had a history of sporting phones in both colors at launch I would've gotten white launch day.

Even with tablets, if they're black I'm not interested in them regardless of specs. When I saw this tablet announced I knew without a doubt that a Best Buy somewhere had one with my name all over it.

Maybe it's me but white phones and tablets stand out and just look rich.
