Thought this was worth sharing. Not sure what you all think of Carrier Backed Tablets, but some people might be interested.

Thought this was worth sharing. Not sure what you all think of Carrier Backed Tablets, but some people might be interested.

Read the link, but it seemed to imply that the current price of $249 required you to sign up for service with Sprint?

A lot of carriers are actually giving deals on tablets, provided that you sign up for service with them. In fact, over the Thanksgiving holiday, I was on vacation with the family in Toronto, Canada and Rogers (one of the cell providers in Canada) was running a promotion where if you signed up for service and got a smartphone, they would give you a Motorola Xoom for free. The Rogers website right now shows that the current deal is if you get two smartphones on a family plan, or you sign up for Rogers digital TV and internet for your home, they give you a Samsung Galaxy Tab for free. Granted, service contracts in Canada is much worse than it is here in the US, they require you to sign a 3 year contract.

I think that's exactly what it meant, that you have to sign on a dotted line to get the price reduction. But if you're on the market for a new carrier and want a tablet capable of using this feature this could be a good thing. That is hard to believe they can make a contract for THREE years, two is long enough in my opinion.
