Anyone care to comment on whether this is a good deal or not?

They say you can watch Fair City on the way to work on the various iplayers but Fair City isn't on RTE player, or any other iplayer AFAIK.

Ok maybe I will retract my last post. I have no techie knowledge. Its not well known on the net so maybe you are right.

trigirl7

I've just researched it a bit and it look like its a good deal. Most of the feedback on it is good and for €117 you cant go wrong really.
I've just ordered one

And how exactly have you come to that very full and informative and erudite conclusion??

capacitive screen & wifi but no 3G... would prefer 3G over wifi myself or better still both.

Naw.... its not my first post since I joined, I has to "rejoin" today and my posts have been set to zero, for some reason.

But I can see where you're coming from...LOL

800 x 600 resolution screen wouldn't be anything to shout about. Also Android 2.3 would be best suited to phones rather than tablets. There's no mention of battery life either which is a little worrying.

Having said that, its not bad for the price ;-)

Amalgam

Dealfind and Groupon abroad are dumping the same tablet at the moment.

If you're browsing for YouTube videos, this might help.. search for a very similar tablet called the Blitz RS8. The offer sports a Cortex A8, instead of the Blitz, which has a Cortex A9. Otherwise, the specs are identical.

I'm suspicious of this:

Terms & Conditions

Your order will be posted out by dinodirect.com. Your contact details on the purchase page will be the delivery address please make sure they are correct. Please allow up to 28 days for delivery. Other rules apply.

That sounds like drop shipping to me, if so.. is there still a risk of duty being applied to the purchase?

Price is 'normal', nothing special about it at all. 1 post members telling you how great this offer is, yeah..

If you type "MEGACHEESE10" into the discount line, you will get the tablet for €105. I did it last night and it worked fine.

Not really fair is it. You'll be waiting 4 to 6 weeks for this to be delivered to Ireland from Hong Kong and Pigsback failed to mention that you will have to pay customs fee's too.

And if you do it through fatcheese you get 20% back on the €92

Pigsback fail

Per Pigsback's Support Section..."
We will be issuing everybody who buys this deal with tracking codes supplied to us by Dino Direct once they have dispatched your order.
Dino Direct have advised us that no customs duty are payable on your package."


Also, both of those links come up with €258 as the direct price.

my brother came across this website dealunreal.co.uk. looks good for android tablets and not to expensive.
what ya think

strimmer1

think my brother is going to order on today, if it works out i might do likewise.

Mr E

I found this one on Amazon which has caught my eye.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/NATPC-M009S-Capacitive-Gingerbread-Responsive/dp/B006M07X34/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1327575073&sr=1-6

A bit smaller (7 inch), but supports ICS via the modding community, has a nice bit of horsepower (1.6GHz) and has mostly positive reviews.

Edit: Balls, no shipping to Ireland. I'll see if I can source it somewhere else later.

I don't see DinoDirect listed on the Fatcheese site... where did that code come from?

Very good spec on this device, for everyday use. Think I'll make the jump.

MagicMoose

Superficially this tablet looks okay but given the price I wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it without a hands on or a trusted review. It's too easy to produce a tablet which looks superficially okay but put it in your hands and you could discover it has a weedy battery, iffy touch, limited storage or some other issue. It's probably okay as a kid's tablet though.

The spec is pretty impressive though. You can't fake that. I can totally believe you can create a worthy Android tablet for €250. Girlfriends nephew has an Archos 10" from Christmas, and it's pretty handy even with a much lower processor, RAM and storage than this.

Strimmer1 & strimmer36 !!! Is there something fishy here !!

strimmer1

wow that's relay weird, the login is my brother but he uses a different browser, i was wondering why it says i only joined last year, anyway nothing fishy, just looking for some opinion

Jean2012

Hi, I'm interested in buying one of these for my dh. I notice that Pigsback have edited their support message and deleted the part that says "Dino Direct have advised us that no customs duty is payable on your package". So which site is best to go for and which has fastest delivery, are they all up to 28 days?

They've also increased the supply from 850 to 1000 now. In fairness, they are flying out.

edit: Also to answer your question, it doesn't really matter where you buy from, unless it's a UK seller on eBay as previously mentioned by somebody. If sent from a supplier in Hong Kong, there is a risk (not a definite) that the package will be checked by Customs and 23% custom charge applied on entry to Ireland.

Jean2012

Yea I noticed supply went up and I'd say customs will take note when they see 1,000 of them coming into the country!! DHs birthday in 2 weeks but doesn't really matter if its a bit late. I know he'd love an iPad but way too expensive at the moment so hoping this will do. He's not very technical so would just be using it for the usual things. He also likes to take photos and use video but thats one of my concerns - is it just okay or is it good - would it be better than his phone (nokia touch)? I've spent hours reading reviews at this stage but am none the wiser - it sounds good but then you read the few not so good ones............

Atlas_IRL

Most of the reviews seem to be from the company themselves employing people to write good reviews. I orders one on impulse 2 days ago off crazydeals.ie but im not expecting much now to be honest! Anyone here ever got one?

I got one of these through another deals website, it arrived today. Delivery was very quick, about a week from China.

It's a pretty solid feeling item, better than expected. My major gripe is that the wifi range is awful. If I move more than 5 feet from my router it loses signal. It's causing it to be pretty much useless to me. We have phones, laptops, wiis etc. all using the same router from much further ranges without any issues.

jayteecork

What would you guys think of this?
Is it the same one?

anyone recieve their tablet yet? I recieved a tracking code from dinodirect,
with a link to ems tracking, with a sub link to an Post. needless to say An post did not have a record of this package on file to track.

I did however google "EMS tracking", put my code in and there she was, still sitting in china 12 days after purchase. will I recieved this within 28 days? doubt it.

At least the lads in Portlaoise have some time to play with it before you get hit with the duty, vat and processing fee!

I got mine on Monday - no charges or nuffink. Had a little play on it and it looks very good. Good capacitive screen - not as sensitive as my ipad but good all the less. Android market works fine. Comes with english manual.

All in all v impressed - just have to wait till next Tuesday until i give to the missus to really see what in can do. Also looks very good and comes well presented in a white (ipad like) box.

Tigerben

Waiting on mine, have a iPad , just got this for my husband, fingers crossed!

Tarah

I just tracked mine, it's in customs in Portlaoise since this morning. Anyone know what the charge might be.

elainerut

just tracked mine and it's still in china-hasn't moved from the 4th-, money hasn't been refunded....as of yet... looking forward to receiving it. i ordered mine from pigsback, is this where everyone else ordered theirs???? will b watchin it like a bloody hawk :eek:, keep us updated on arrivals peeps

If you have the magazine from last Saturday's Irish Star you can have it for €89 (voucher for €30 off).

Not sure how good this tablet is though.

That's what they said, keep the reciept and it will be refunded. Athough it is annoying.

alekito

Really, did they say they would refund the customs charge? Mine is stuck in customs, so might have to pay. I'm not sure if I get the charge back. How does it work?
