Great price.

I'd go for something with at least 16 or 32gb meself but for a child is good considering the official future support and cyanogenmod mods for it.

What phone number did you use?

It's got a micro sd slot so you can add what memory you want to it. Good find op!

According to a lot of comments the SD storage is only usable for media, and apps can't use it. Odd.

I cant process the order as it is looking for a UK phone number

The Nook HD is still €109 from Littlewoods Ireland for those interested. It has a much better screen.

Here's a fuller comparison:

Does the nook come with the proper full play store? Two nice small tablets though, for the basics.

You can also get 10% back on electricals (which tablets fall under) through Quidco. http://www.quidco.com/asda-direct/

No so any more. On the latest official Samsung update apps can now be moved to sd card.

Conversely the Nook has no built-in camera, no ambient light sensor, no Micro-USB, and no HDMI port.

The Tab 2 is a fantastic little tablet imho. Battery life in real world usage I find is very good, which isn't something you usually get in this price range.

The Tab 2 should also get an official Android 4.3 update too as far as I know.

cant get past the mobile number either.

Does the Samsung Tab 2 have a HDMI port? Can't find it listed on the specs.

Edit:not sure about this aspect...
You can buy a mhl adopter and that'll give you hdmi out.

Thanks. You mentioned HDMI port so I thought that the Tab 2 might have one.

You could always sign up for a free UK personal number that auto-forwards to an Irish landline:

Thanks just picked one up as an Christmas present, also picked up the new Pokemon game for £32 that's about another €10 saving on the Christmas shopping list.

Had NI phone number to use.

I was looking at the Nook hd+ recently, the 9" version. Does anyone have one? Would you recommend it?

bidiots

I had one. Nice kit for the money. problems with the b and n software but you can download an updated version of android via an sd card.
The only issue I have with these cheaper versions of tabs is that the Nexus7 is not too expensive in comparison, and the nexus is a much better tablet in all areas.

A lad in my job got one, says it's great. You can get refurbs from the US on ebay for about €130 incl import charges.

That's still 8gigs for apps though. Whole lot of angry birds

Sold out, it seems. As are their Nook HDs. Nook is still on Littlewoods Ireland for a bit more if anyone is still looking.

CinSoots

They're available again, I just bought one.

sarah88

Thanks OP just bought myself an early xmas present!:)

biebiebie

Now on sale at Richer Sounds also. So perhaps there's a chance it'll be available from other outlets like Argos UK

Edit: Here's the link, £99.95

The ebay one's a refurb but Santa needs one in our house so not keen on going with a refurb...

maria34

Got a brand new one (white) for 149 euros from argos today. Also they gave me a 20 euro voucher with it. Deal is up on their homepage aswell :-)

ballybro

What is the expiry date on the €20 argos voucher.

Check the other thread for the Amazon UK deal.

Just received mine. Seal on the box was broken and its obviously a recon job. Not happy at all with this, I'm going looking for a reasonable discount or total refund including shipping return costs, this sort of crap retailing gets under my skin!

sarah88

No way! What a shambles! Let us know how you get on with customer service as we could all be in the same boat! Anyone else received theirs yet?

knowkeya

I got mine. Seals are all intact and the item is as described. Everyone can relax now!:)

Yeah, got mine as well this morning. Seals were good and the item as described.
Now it's time to get a 32GB SD card. Anyone know of a good deal?

sarah88

I got mine this morning, seals were broken and box bashed up.

ccazza

I also just got my 2. Both perfect. Will make 2 wee boys very happy this Christmas! Thanks OP. Great find.

I just sold my Nook HD+ (replaced with Nexus 7 - I wanted a smaller tablet) and have the 32GB Sandisk Ultra microSD that I was using in it (Nexus 7 doesn't have expandable storage). PM me if interested

sarah88

@bidiots did you have any luck with asda customer service? I contacted them this morning and they will offer a refund but they have no replacements in stock. Argos Uk are also sold out, so my options are to stick with a possible refurb or have no tablet....the feckers anyway.
