    Yep. Paid for 1 day delivery, took 2 days but wont kick up a fuss.

    I haven't been able to get the parcel motel details to work. It keeps asking me for a uk phone number with a particular area code.

    Did you use any particular tricks to get it to work?

    Have this exact same problem. Have tried everything too, still doesn't take it.
    Interested in hearing how to get around it.

    Fired it up last night. Really nice tablet. Very similar to a nexus 7 I feel. Lots of tesco bloatware on it but A quick install of Nova Launcher and it was right as rain. I'll probably upgrade to Nova prime and get the moonshine icon pack and i'll have a lovely looking Lollipop 5.0 tablet!!!.........(that's for my mam :D)

    Is there too much Tesco bloatware on it to have it as a Santa present?
    Would the Yoga 8 be better option?

    Hopefully someone else will provide some good details on the Hudl, but I done a reasonably quick check on reviews for both Hudl 2 and Yoga, and the Hudl 2 is getting very good reviews. The Yoga appears to get average reviews.

    I've settled on the Hudl 2 for Christmas for the kids.

    Tesco bloat ware issue still remains, hard to explain to a kid that Santa got it in Tesco!

    Tesco bloat is mostly avoidable, tesco widgets take up the left most pane of the homescreen where Goodle Now would usually reside.
    Installing the Google Now launcher will sovle that.

    Haven't tried uninstalling tesco apps yet.

    At 129 pound minus vouchers id soon get used to the bloatware. Had a Hudl1 for over 10 months now & hardly notice it. Mind you, you can always buy a ipad mini for around 320 pound that has no bloatware on it.....

    So has anyone unlocked / flashed this yet and wiped it down to a new ROM without all the bloat? If so.... how did that go?

    Is it obtainable only online or also in store? I have a sister in the London area who could pick this up for me were I to buy it. I live in Germany so can not order it directly myself I think.

    Only UK available?

    Sold in store also.
    I installed Nova launcher and disabled all bloat ware. Only Tesco branding is on the covers I bought for them.
    Took 5 mins and is an excellent device.

    Kewl thanks for that :)

    I have a HTC One and I enjoyed flashing it completely and installing the Cyanogenmod. So would enjoy doing something like this here too. For this price I might even find myself ordering two of them.

    Anyone go with any of the optional extras? Any of them any good? Are any of the covers robust enough to be word buying?

    is there any screen issues such as light bleed or bad viewing angles on the Hudl2?

    How long is your battery lasting? I'm getting awful standby times. If i left it alone for two days and didn't touch it in standby it'd be almost certainly gone flat.
