You can get the wifi model on .co.uk for £152. Then claim 20% cashback from Lenovo before October 7th and will work out about €150.

10" will work out at €188 after cashback.

When I ordered it said 5 to 7 working days. I haven't received a dispatch email yet having ordered on Sunday.

KoA-Ollie · 16-09-2014 11:24am

Whats the story for returns and warranty if there are any problems with Amazon Germany, looking to order one!

should be the same as normal amazon which is excellent for that sort of stuff. Most germans speak better english than us anyway if you have to contact them

The cash back can't be claimed if you live outside the UK.

ways and means could be found I'd hope..

shovel · 17-09-2014 12:01pm

Can I just ask, what's the difference between the the one on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon. De please

The one on amazon.de is cheaper (€141 delivered approx). It's the same tablet. In theory if you could get the 20% cashback for the .co.uk one then it would come out pretty close.

shovel · 17-09-2014 12:41pm

Δ^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks for that.

Legit question, considering what people are used to now.

EDIT-not too bad actually, it's sharper than the 1st gen iPad mini. Definitely could be sharper though

animaal · 18-09-2014 2:42pm

Thanks OP, I ordered one.

However, I drew the short straw, delivery by i-parcel.
Sure enough, it's marked as "flagged for review of the contents prior to export".

I thought we weren't supposed to have all that hassle since joining the EU...

fergiesfolly · 18-09-2014 6:05pm

Got the same message when I entered the tracking number.
Why are they reviewing it when it's in the EU?

Pedro76 · 19-09-2014 10:53am

Ordered a tablet yesterday evening, awaiting a mail confirming delivery info.

Fingers crossed German efficiency isn't a misnomer

fergiesfolly · 22-09-2014 1:27pm

Anyone get theirs delivered yet?
Got the tracking email last week, but there'e been no movement since.

phunkymonk · 22-09-2014 5:04pm

Mine arrived today. Updating to 4.4.4 as we speak. Seems a lovely piece if kit on first impressions.

Notch000 · 22-09-2014 11:00pm

Notch000 · 24-09-2014 10:24am

nice piece of kit, the upgrade to 4.4 looks to have cleanied it up a lot, have no complaints so far. Ergonimics are really impressive

Got a mail just now, so should have it soon.
Is there much work in upgrading to 4.4?

imitation · 24-09-2014 11:10am

How's Google chrome on this? Since the last update on my nexus 7 2012 (similar ram spec) its been a joke for performance.

tea and coffee · 24-09-2014 1:14pm

Missed it- was waiting to get paid. Its gone up to 185 now plus delivery.

nothing really you just go to

setting/about tablet/system updates and it picks it up automaticaly, download the patch, then asks for a restarts and then reboots itelf, file is 460mb so may take a few mins to download and then the rebot takes around 10 mins, easy peasy

Mine arrived today and so far so great! (Have never owned an android device before - only apple)

I've installed flash which works fine on the default browser even though the device was already on 4.2.2 which isn't supposed to be supported - anyone know if upgrading to 4.4 will kill flash?

Also, what's the big advantage with 4.4 - will the 400mb update sit on my storage after installation and use up some of my storage memory?

Thanks

Is this still available. Site is showing it at a higher price

Wondered if anyone had got a case for their new purchase yet?

Prefer to pick one up in Dublin City Centre if anybody has a suggestion?

Cheers

walshy123 · 26-09-2014 2:52pm
