 No processor specs?  

 

Also just looking at the ram, display, and camera this must be a budget model tablet?  is that true?

Based on the bare bones specs, I smell "free tablet" with activation of a qualifying plan.

Well shoot and I was hoping that they would go all out and give us an 810 processor!  lol.

Its $240 msrp or $10 month, so free since we give a $10 credit for activating a tablet on easypay. Releases 9-11.

I would bet that it is not a Qualcomm SoC.  No mention of CDMA2000, right?

 

Look for a second rate processor and 3GPP baseband -- either in combo or separate.

Hmm, I thought Quanta was an ODM not an OEM.

Any new news about this tablet?  Back on September 10th, the local corporate Sprint store had just received their demo/display unit and was expecting the tablet to launch within a few days.  As of last night, the Sprint website still did not have it listed.

 

I'm thinking about picking one of these up for a family member, as long as the price is right.

The Sprint.com website now lists the Slate 8 Tablet for $10/mo on Easy Pay or $49.99 for a 2-Year agreement.

 

It also says "ALREADY A CUSTOMER? SIGN IN TO GET THE Slate 8" TABLET FOR FREE! Upgrades excluded. Req. new 2-yr. agmt./activation."  Free would be great, so long as they allow me to add it to my Family Share plan.

 

Also, the website does not list it as a Spark device, only LTE.  It could be that they just don't have all of the correct specs up there just yet.

Would this device be unlock able? It has all of tmobile bands could use it for the free data for life too.

The FCC docs support all of Sprint's frequencies so I would not assume it lacks the support.  Probably just not an updated specs page.
