    Exactly! That's why I feel a bit taken back as well. It's probably fine but it's not what I expected.

    Was thinking of bringing it to the store and asking for a new one but I feel like a nitpicker :) besides, I can't prove it wasn't me who opened it.

    Not a hope I'd accept a used device from them. You're well within your rights to go back with it.

    What does it say about returning - i.e. to whom?

    It says it can be returned by post or to a store. But that's for a refund, not sure if it can be exchanged there also.

    And thanks WeleaseWoderick! I'm just not that assertive :) I'll sleep on it, the shop's closed now anyway and I will check the device out thoroughly. At the least I'll complain by mail to the websales dept.

    You should bring it back , with. Broken seals it won't e covered under warranty

    It could even be loaded with dodgy spying software

    Thanks! But it's the seal on the box I meant, not on the device itself! (In fact I see no seals on it). I have no reason to assume the device was opened.

    But yes that crossed my mind too, though I did do another factory reset on it.

    Still pending. Anyone else, or is it just me?

    The system they use seems to be completely mad, my order is still showing 'processing' and no delivery date, yet I received my tablet on Wednesday!

    Looks like I received a used one as well, no foil anywhere, all the other Samsung phones or tablets I bought always had protective foil on them. I will be sending a complaint to them but don't expect much.

    Return it and ask for a new, sealed replacement.

    If that gets you nowhere get a full refund.

    No way would I accept an open-box or unsealed item. False advertising and not as described come into play here. Unacceptable really.

    Finally got my money refunded (a week after placing the order). It seems they were able to "intercept" DPD and cancel the delivery. Got plenty of "sorry for inconvenience" but no actual explanation of what happened.

    In any case, the one I collected in-store is still sitting at home un-opened! I'm determined to wait till Christmas day! :D Although after reading the comments here I'm curious if it is a pre-used one!

    I did some research on cases and decided to go for this one:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LM4N8E8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s02

    It wraps the sides as well as any other case. There are more possible viewing angles. Also this stand design might be a bit sturdier than the one where the cover folds back into a triangle behind the tablet.

    My order status changed from pending to processing on Fri/Sat. It hasn't' changed since. Baby steps I guess. Really curious to know what the currys process is that goes on in the background, but I reckon if I did find out, the stupidity of it would make me want to claw my brain out of my skull.

    Would you buy this over a nexus 9?

    Tempted to get one from the US..

    Going for the 16gb seems like the best option as its got expandable storage..

    i assume its easy enough to flash stock android on it?

    Cheers,
    Mick

    I don't think that's possible right now. Cyanogenmod does not support it. source. I think it's the particular type of Exynos processor they don't have any source code for but I don't recall exactly, I looked it up a while ago. There's some tweaked/debloated roms available but nothing like plain vanilla stock android.

    I chose it over the Nexus 9 because of the better screen, the colour gamut is exceptional (and it's not possible to get such a wide gamut with current LCD technology).

    Edit: Just looked at it again and it looks like a Cyanogenmod rom is under development!. Looks good but I wouldn't use it until it's final.

    It finally arrived. Box had small samsung tamper stickers on the sides, both intact although one was stretched. Box was slightly squashed, but I don't suspect anything untoward. Home network stopped working 10 minutes into first use, but back working again now. Will blame it on the wind.

    Been looking at this Tablet for a while... I got it for €360 in store. €100 off for black Friday and another €40 off any Android over €299 I think it was.

    I also got the 2 years cover for €99 which covers for anything. Broken screen viruses anything.

    There was another deal added to. Make anti virus plus 1 year cloud storage for €30 extra with the tablet. Normally mc afee is €99 and cloud storage is €40. Anti virus can be installed on as many devices as you wish.

    So I'm completely covered for less than I was going to okay for tablet. My total was €488.

    Nice story. Basically, you are a salesperson's dream customer.

    Yeah I'm the dream customer... hmm let me see... you still can't get the tablet at the price I got it for. The salesman got me more off on black Friday than I was supposed to pay. I got it insured which thank god I did as my daughter dropped the tablet and smashed the s teen.

    Ohhh the most important part the price I paid after all the extras was till cheaper than EVERYWHERE else th a t was selling it then and now (well the last time i looked at the price anyway)..

    Dream customer or a great deal.. you decide but I'm happly out with what I got.

    I got one today brand new for €215 in GameStop http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057478577&page=4 :P

    All those add-ons you bought cost the store next to nothing. How do I know this? I work in a Curry's store as a rep for a computer brand. I see customers fall for this stuff everyday. :rolleyes:

    That €99 price for McAfee LiveSafe is BS - Curry's buy them in for about a fiver each so they can include them in their sh!tty bundles.

    I paid €30 for the mcafee and cloud storage. I paid €99 for insurance and I used it getting screen fixed. It's still a great deal I got when the tablet was only out a few weeks maybe 2 months

    Do you have to sign up in store or will online work as well?
