Hello,

I am one of the proud owner of Nook Color. I just got mine on this Monday.
OK lets start with my short review of this device.

At first when I got it out from the box, my impression would tell me that this device doesn't feel solid in my hands. Yet I was wrong, the device really feels solid built and not to mention the back are rubberized. This makes it not easily to slip out from your hands even with a single handed on this device.

About the display, the color are vivid and sharp. I had to say that it is comparable sharpness and clarity with those iPhone4/iPad(s). The display are also amazing for those who prefer bed reading with it's adjustable brightness. Right now I just using the lowest brightness and it doesn't gives me any problem with it or eye strain.

How about the e-books? the Device is equip with Barnes and Noble (BN) app that you can easily purchase those e-books over the Wifi connection. The best thing is, the purchased books are stores in your BN account. In case your device's firmware is corrupted, your purchases books are still there in your account

Overall, it is a good/cheap decent e-reader or some says Android tablet
BTW, I just installed Angry Birds on my device. Makes people around me jealous with the 7" display with Angry Birds (hahaha)

Recommend to get one if you are living in the States.

@EightPhantomz, I think you should get it..put away other stuff first. hahaha

yeah, it is rooted.. I get it from a private seller in Singapore.

Nope, the seller sell in complete sealed box. So rooting would have to be done personally.

*OFF-TOPIC*
I am letting go my Nook Color for some financial problem. Any takers?

Yeah, organize a Nook Color gathering would be awesome. Perhaps, I will get another Nook Color after CNY (got extra cash yay!)

@themanwithnoname, how was the Nook Color?

Honeycomb on my Nook

Sorry ya, not selling at the moment..

yeah, the Honeycomb is in uSD... I can switch between Honeycomb and original rooted Nook Color

from a private seller in SG

After root, you can manually stop the auto update from B&N too.

I still using 1.0.1 version...

Average for normal internet browsing + gaming + reading will charge after 5 - 6 hours of usage.


Haha, one of my friend was saying quite handy for LAW students too. All text books in one tablet

nope never tried before.

New update is here 1.2.0

Anyone has upgraded to this firmware?

yes the charger is compatible with our voltage. But you have to get a converter plug to convert the US plug to our conventional 3 pin plug.

As far as I use, I doesn't apply any screen protector as I can adjust the brightness to the max to overcome the glare issue. If you are using it for reading purposes, I think Nook is a redundant to you. As iPad can do what the Nook can do too for normal reading basis. But if you are looking for inexpensive Android hackable tablet, then Nook is the answer

yeah the custom rom like CM is available to port into Nook Color, hacks and etc.

For the case, I had 2 case to pair with my daily wears

One thing funny when I take my Nook Color out for email checking or web surfing at nearby cafe with Wifi access. People would ask, "eh is that Galaxy Tab?" LOL

The thickness doesn't effect much.. it still looks like a diary/organizer with the case

If you order now, you will get the 1.2.0 firmware.
Rooting for 1.2.0 is still in progress, perhaps give some time to the Nook community to finalize the nooter for Nook

I plan to get that case last time... but you know with sweat and such would stick on the edges of those wordings, so end up getting the 2 case I have right now.

Maybe we should organise a teh tarik session for Nook Color owners someday..

No problem

Running rooted Nook with Zeam launcher, Minimalistic Text, TypoClock and of course, Live wallpaper .

Many more to be listed..

Nope I didn't tried out CM7.

"ROOTed" is the correct term of getting privilege access for the Android system

And to answer another question, Nook Color already has a native pdf reader. So no need any additional Adobe reader to read your pdf files.
