A case of this being a great price and a bad product.

Depends on what you're using it for. As a phone, yeah, not very good. As an e reader it's pretty great, as a portable emulator its also pretty great (think giant DS).

I see your point that it can do some things better than it's functionality as a phone but I wouldn't say it's a great e-reader for text. An e-ink display is much nicer for reading and they are cheap in comparison. I could agree it's portability in relation to screen real estate is great for the price.

I think I read in past threads or reddit these can be unlocked by contacting at&t or Microsoft. Can someone provide that info. I will dig into it when I have time.

At the AT&T site for unlock, do I need to say I am an AT&T customer (and use a relative's phone #)?

Or will AT&T unlock the device if I answer the first question "no", that I am not an AT&T wireless customer, and just put in the IMEI?

Anyone know?

Mine arrived today.....it has a sticker on the outside that says:
'Amazon - Thanks to you this product has a second life' "Amazon Warehouse" "Amazon Renewed".

Inside it has a sticker that says "'wipe performed"

Underneath Wipe Performed, it says "Overall Result: Fail" (That's concerning)

When I bought this, it was advertised as "Open Box"....not renewed/refurbished. I am curious why it needs to be 'wiped' if it was just 'open box' "Open Box" is different than "Renewed".

FYI for the rest of you.

Received mine today and there is a nasty scratch on one of the screens, not too happy about it. Going to see what they'll do about it, I'm guessing nothing.

Got mine today as well. It was definitely used a little while. The papers and accessories also look used. I wouldn't consider this a new - open box item. These Amazon warehouse returns are usually all over the board. Woot kind of lied to us. I'll probably still keep mine. It's pretty cool and would be nice for going on the treadmill for streaming

Woot definitely lied to us.

It also factors in whether or not I was willing to accept a 30 day warranty...if it is REFURB...maybe not............if it is Open Box, maybe yes.

This is a mess.

FWIW, my accessories (bumper) appeared to be new.
