I looked at it, and the more I did, the less I was all warm and fuzzy about it. After the data, activation, and fees, you're probably in for at least 160 bucks (more like 180-190 I'm thinking). You can get a new Nexus 7 (albeit with Wi-Fi only) for $229 without a contract. Everything I read puts the Nexus head and shoulders above everything in that range. If you need cdma/LTE, different conversation, but I would think you'll also need more than the $5/month data. So, think I'm going the Nexus 7 route.
