Just buy a mobile device that's wifi only. It will work, just don't buy it through a cell carrier.

With $200, there isn't too much wriggle room in the tablet space besides the Nexus 7 - even then, it seems ASUS is announcing its successor soon.
ASUS also just recently announced this MeMo Pad HD 7. It's $130 USD but it has not been released yet and it says it's planning to hit "developing markets."
If you're okay with the tablet being a bit older, you can consider
That's all I can think of at the moment.
What about the Galaxy Tab 2?
It has great reviews on Amazon and you can order a refurbished one for $150.
I've just started researching tablets, so if someone knows of a reason not to get this one, please let me know.
The real dilemma is iPad vs. Android. While I'm a fan of the e-ink Kindles, the Kindle Fire is just a dumbed down Android that's locked into Amazon. For $50 more you can get a real Android, natively running ICS, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 which comes out next week.
How about used/refurbished tablets?
Unfortunately, mobile Office isn't as usable or fully featured as Office on desktop. The only version of Office Mobile available for Android is geared for phones.
Instead, I would recommend modern day budget netbooks or detachables + USB dongle. Low end netbooks/detachables have gotten much better (and cheaper) ever since Microsoft started offering Windows for free to OEMs.
