Yh it's gone back up. You snooze you loose. I lost a £2 router that way this week. I'm kinda glad for me (not anyone else) that it went back up. Was almost tempted to buy something else I don't need. Nonetheless thanks OP


Oops it's £89 in poo brown (burns credit card)

noodler

I think I am going to make a rare random leap and pull the trigger on this deal in a rather spur-of-the-moment fashion!

(I don't care about the brown!)

Can anyone give me a reason not to? Or if better is available for the price?

WIZWEB

To be honest I prefer the brown. Pull the trigger before I do! Pleeezzzeeeeee

Got it at £92.24 with irish VAT. Cheers OP......

Agh. Got this for £99 last week. That's great value about €110, I'd go for this over any of those crappy kids tablets in the €70-€90 range if I was buying for a child

AlanS181824

Great tablet. I love how great tablets are getting cheaper and cheaper.

noodler

Reviews (Critic) are very poor for this.

hotshots85

I think those reviews are based on paying €200ish for the tablet, compared to what else is available at that price range. But for down at €110 it is decent value I think.

Grand, first tab.

I'll take a chance.

hotshots85

Well I got one @ €120 and it looks ok, its only gonna be used for web browsing really.

Dual core with 1 gig ram is still the norm for mid range tablets. Quad core and 2 gigs is still high end for the most part above the €200 mark (for a 7 inch anyway)

This would definitely benefit from cyanogenmod as touch wiz can be quite sluggish. They have a handy install guide with an app to guide you through it.

I don't think the 3 is officially supported yet.

Was going to buy one of these as a belated xmas present but will pass on it. After hearing from others who have one and based on what pah just said, they appear to be a little sluggish. Still a good price though.

sonandheir

This is a WiFi tab, I use a 3g dongle for my internet. Is it possible to use this with a dongle I see it has usb port?

moonboy52

I bought an Asus Memo pad for about €62 on a HUKD deal from tesco (its finished now)

That had a single core 1ghz and 1 gig ram and 16gig storage.

It is perfectly fine for "light" usage. So a dual core tablet could only be better.

decent mid-range tablet from a quality manufacturer with full warranty and bought through proper website (amazon) so a good option fo r a browsing / light-gaming / media watching tablet for €110.

darkestlord

Same price in sainsbury if anyone is going up north

Are argos the best value for this for a store pick up in Ireland?

Whipping Boy

The 8inch is showing as £200 here which also seems like a great saving. Anyone know if you can deliver to Ireland using Parcel Motel for Currys.co.uk? Having some trouble in registering my ROI billing address and it's €300 on Currys.ie... http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/note-8-0-white-16gb-199-99-currys-1757785#comments

Edit: The Tab 3 8inch is now showing as €250 on Currys.ie. I presume these two models are the same? Little put off by the N5110 vs. SMT310 prefix... N5110 or SMT310 http://www.currys.ie/Product/SAMSUNG-Galaxy-Tab-3-8-WiFi-Tablet-16-GB-White/319236/7.18

Ordered a Brown one from Amazon at the £92.XX. Can anyone verify that this has GPS? I need GPS and hopefully bluetooth. Reading specs its hard to be sure. Theres a 3G version (which this isnt) but I am assuming GPS is there.

Apart from the size, having played with both side by side, the 8 inch seems a far better machine - much better response and looks better.

hmmm

The N5110 is a Galaxy Note, the SMT310 is a Galaxy Tab. The Note is a newer and all-round better tablet.

Hi Lads, i found the Tab 3 a little sluggish so I disabled the stock launcher and installed Apex Launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anddoes.launcher) and things seem to have improved dramatically

siber

16GB on Argos for €149.99 (Brown only)

Link to Argos

Stock Check - can be ordered for delivery to most stores - be careful with ordering if you need this for Christmas as some stores will have it on 23rd and others on 27th

I saw the Brown model with 8GB with 3 units available a minute ago in Amazon UK, but they are gone now. popular enough..

spongbob

a bricks and motor shop in longford town selling a dual core tablet, 8gb storage and 1gb ram for 119€ in all sorts of colors, red blue and pink if I can remember clearly

they have all different types of quad cores 4x1.6 processors 16gb 7" ips model for 169 if anyone lives near by!

nice friendly store and always busy from what I have seen

I got myself and the kids sorted today. all I need now is chocolates for the missus, hello milk-tray

cfeeneyinterior

Landed this morning. Initial impressions, a little heavy but very decent. Cheers OP.

jamesd

Mine landed too - have it wrapped under the tree for herself, at least now I get to keep my iPad air to myself.

Defo has GPS. Theres a tab for it.

I assume the GPS only works when there is WI-FI?

When you say launcher, what do you mean?

I'd defo like to give anything a go that improves performance.




My observations so far:

Pros:

-I can barely tell the thing is golden brown (its practically black!)
- I watched some HD footy streams over Xmas and the quality was absolutely amazing.
- Boots up extremely quickly (altho thats expected of all tabs I am sure)
- fits in my back pocket and is a nice size to hold
- good battery life so far for me


Cons:

- Can be a little slow if there are multiple apps open (even as few as three)

A launcher is basically the screen you see when you press the home button, the 'skin' or user interface.

I found mine was slow/glitchy on the standard Samsung launcher, and I would advise dropping it for another.

Ah I see.

I will definitely try the Apex one then.

Thanks.

cfeeneyinterior

Mine came and was very happy with it for an hour or so. It did an OTA update to make it more stable or something.
The screen went black with lots of coloured lines on. SO waited a good while and reset it. Booted up no problem but all my apps wouldn't update, chrome wouldn't work. Factory reset it and same thing every time. Got onto Amazon, they had none left so couldn't replace. Sent it back on Thursday got email Friday of a refund .....
Oh well next time it discounts I'll buy one..
