Grab a Refurbished 3G Samsung Galaxy Tab for $280

Back in January, Sprint announced a price reduction for the 7″ Samsung Galaxy Tab Android tablet to $299 with a two-year contract. And now T-Mobile offers the Galaxy Tab for $199 with a two-year contract.

Meritline is offering a refurbished Sprint-branded 3G Galaxy Tab for $310. Meritline lists the device specs as, “ARM Cortex A8 1GHz, 16GB, 7 inch TFT LCD, 3G, BT 3.0, Android 2.2″. There’s no contract required on this refurbished model although you will need a Sprint mobile plan to use the 3G service. You can use the device in the WiFi only mode — no Sprint plan is required for WiFi only mode.

Update: If you decide to purchase from Meritline, here’s a coupon code that brings the price down to $280 – MLC5HVNRPK6NL

If you are looking for a WiFi only Galaxy Tab, Amazon appears to have the best price at $349.

You should note that a 10″ Galaxy Tab with Android 3.0 Honeycomb appears to be on the way.
