That’s being said, there are few let-downs on the design and build quality. The design of the nook color is majestic, the colors are splendid and the back has a rubber like material. Moreover, despite the Android App Market was installed, it didn't show all 'FREE' applications for some reasons most of the popular applications are not available to install an application like Flash 10, I had to search through Google on all free file-hosting websites for the latest version of the application and download it to the device manually to install it this works fine but it requires some times and effort, the full functional market would help a lot.Īnother issue I noticed (although rarely happen) is that the WiFi sometimes connect to my router but not to the internet and I had to restart the device to re-connect successfully this occurred in both original OS and a mod ROM.

Other things missing like mic and camera (for video chatting), standard buttons (instead there are soft buttons on the screen that are displayed all the time), GPS (not really required), BT (but it was activated on CyanoGen Mod 7 ROMs), 3G (WiFi can do the job indoor), light sensor (to auto adjust the brightness), etc. It won't run most of the heavy games as it lacks a GPU, but the device can run almost all other games. The default OS is completely customized to do certain 'few' functions only thanks to some devs, the full Andorid OS (2.3) can be installed as a temporary solution on an SD card to keep the original OS, or as a default OS and there a support for Arabic language. The device was among the first to have a taste of the new OS (Android 3.0) but as a review OS with some features missing.

The Nook (B&N Account) Activation Process I also liked its small (7') size of it as opposed to other (10') devices. But of course you still load your books manually to the device and read them unlike the famous Amazon Kindle.īut I still bought the device 'cause it's the cheapest 'GOOD' full Android tab existing with high specs (high resolution, capacitive touch, 800MHz processor, motion sensor, etc.) and the device lives up to the high standards. I live outside USA and I couldn’t activate the device in any way.

Activating the B&N account to buy form their library is only available within USA despite what the website might say.

Very good product and deserve every penny paid for it.įirst of all, if you want to buy the Nook Color as an eBook reader only, you need to be living within USA.
