A:AnswerOther Samsung tablets from Best Buy might be usable with a Verizon data plan (which is the only type I can think of that you might mean--you were not specific), but they would need the capability to insert a SIM card, which this one doesn't have.
A:AnswerYes, anyone with MS Word can access this tablet. Seriously, though, you mean the opposite: can MS Word be accessed on this tablet? Yes. MS Word is available for any modern Android device.
A:AnswerYou are either misreading or they changed/corrected the listing. It is the black one that has a quad core CPU, while the other two (Silver and Gold) have the 8-core CPU. Also, it is not just a matter of color; the non-black ones are considerably more expensive, so you are paying for more than color.
A:AnswerHi Troyf68!
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We value your interest in Galaxy Tab A's compatibility with the Google Play Application. In line with this, the device has the preloaded application so that you can find new apps, movies and TV shows, music, books, magazines, and games in the Google Play store.

A:AnswerYes. I have a Nook and a Kindle account and both transferred content over without a hitch. This device also accepts micro-SD cards so if you have any concerns, you can copy your content to a micro-SD card and use that to transfer files.
A:AnswerI am not aware of a default app that lets you do this, though there may be one. However there are free apps like Google Handwriting Input that allow you to do this. I have not used this much and cannot say how well it works. If you have an android phone I would download it and try it out on there and if you like it, it will work the same on the tablet.
