Android Tablets - FNAC

listermint

So youve gotten a hundred Euro discount from FNAC to purchase a tablet from their website

What are people opinions on the best one

(i suppose this thread is more so for the folks who got the 100 Euro discount from the whole Touchpad mess up)

But how and ever it is still Android related.

Thoughts?

since I can prove its not related to the account he has somehow given you the wrong code or there is a space or something in your field. ensure you delete the french text and try a different browser

u can send me the code to test if u like, also you can have first dabs on mine if u like , almost certain not to use mine if the archos is delayed. wont decide till nearer end oct though.

I wish the touchpad had never existed lol

Its definitely not the wrong code anyway as he has copy and pasted the full email to me.

Thanks for your offer, I shall keep it in mind.

Is this the correct place to put the code? (It's actually a Xoom im trying to order)

dolallyoh

log out and then retry code

all 3 parts have both numbers and letters, all upper case.

I have tried the following:

Using his FNAC voucher on my account

Logging into his account and trying the voucher

Adding his email to my account and trying the voucher

Using a new account with his email and trying the voucher

None have worked, but everytime he tries to use it it works. Really fecking weird.

My code works for me ****without even being logged in*** on the xoom. xxxx-xxxx-xxxx is code format. Going to double check now in new browser

Weird. Tried it there without being logged in and I still get the not recognized message.

Format is same as yours. Is your last 4 digits letters rather than numbers?

The person who gave me the code has handed over their account to me. I obviously added my own email, address etc. I am still getting a message saying the code is not recognized (have tried on galaxy 10.1, xoom etc). The original owner of the account tested it before handing it over and it worked for them. Any ideas ? Could it be linked to email rather than account?

Has anyone sucessfully used someone elses voucher on FNAC? Im trying to use a voucher that was given to me but im getting an error so guessing they might be tied to a specific account?

onform

Has anyone had a problem with their voucher order with FNAC?

I ordered the Arnova 8 (Primarily because it was cheap

) but my order is sitting there with a status of:

Deadline: expected information provider

What is the best e-mail address to get help on this?

I've tried the form on the website and also sent a mail to the fnacouer one but no response.

If I was paying full price for this I would have cancelled (Order made on the 9th of Sept) and told them to stuff it, particularly after reading some of the Arnova reviews.

Tusky

Looking for a recommendation on what to get myself. Will mainly use for web browsing, music and watching streaming content on tv - mainly liveonlinefooty.com

was gonna get the galaxy 10.1 until I realised it doesn have hdmi out. Next up was ipad but it seems v.expensive to hook up to tv and flash may be a problem for liveonlinefooty.

What's my next option, xoom?

Thor

I ordered the Acer Iconia tab a500, Great price at €314 all and all.

The main reason i went for the Acer of the xoom was because they are identical hardware wise except the acer has the 2.0 usb host port built in, Which to me is what all tablets should have.

Thanks to Fnac for the vouchers, Although that was a big mess. Glad i'm getting a real tablet and not the touchpad though.

Try over on the Hannspree thread in bargain alerts, most owners there got that device instead and never used their voucher.

My second review of the Archos Arnova 8....

Its now up on ebay.... nuff said.... pOS!!!

Steer well clear!

Well worth a punt for the 40 Euro I paid for it, for some surfing, emails and what have you.... but next to useless for games... didn't even try out any movies....

I would be furious if I had paid over a hundred for it!!

deegs

I might if I get a chance... but rightnow I can say its an AWESOME tab!!!
Running froyo under a toshiba hood. No android market but I installed 1mobile market which has access to all the android apps.

It has a tegra 2 nvidia graphics engine which makes up for the lower ram (512) and if you clock it up I'm sure it goes faster.

Mine is outta the box and the HD games on it is awesome!

HD movies also run nice and fast and avi etc is support with the built in player...

It looks great (as toshiba does), reads well with pdf's etc, youtubes fine in the browser... and I seriously cannot fault it... I actually think it is far superior than the touchpad... hdmi out extendable memory with sdcard, usb and micro usb connectivity and no dicking around with OS's....

Only problem is I can't put hte thing away

I got the wife the arnova 8 and the thing cannot run angry birds... its really crap, but not bad for 40 delivered... I'll prob give it to my kid and keep a look out for another tab for the missus.

Can anyone tell me which is the better deal, the Hanspree or the Toshiba Folio

The Tosibha is sold out on FNAC at the moment at the €219 price.
I couldnt tell you myself which is better but I often use Amazon reviews to get a better idea , but I could have used the voucher with the folio i would have snapped it up , or a 200 euro hannspad also!
My needs are a bit less ,so im thinking of Archos 70 or 101 (both well reviewing on Amazon) , but probably dont need it until Christmas for present ,so going to hold off on using fnac voucher till november and hopefully get better value.

Works for the 259 one, not the folio. Ie Not everything in that 100 euro voucher list is actually allowed.

do you mean the Archos 101 259 one ?
I couldnt get the 259 price for that , only 299 , i think you need to be a FNAC member/card holder (€12 for 1 year) for the 259 price and i think you need to be resident in france to join that , at least thats how i make it out

Sorry, I didn't try to apply the voucher to a Folio. You'd imagine that if they have it listed in the voucher section they should allow the voucher to work.

Can you apply the voucher to any other item on the list just to test it?

It does appear on the list but cant use voucher ,"does not meet terms of use". Persumably because of price reduction ,will give it a shot again tomorrow in case it is an error on their part as it appears on list

Does it run honeycomb?

Yup, 3.2. Only ordered mine today, but by all accounts there are loads of options when it comes to ROMs.

Also, seeing as Google acquired Motorola, (legitimate) updates should hit the Xoom ahead of other tablets.

I went and bought the Motorola Xoom as it has a higher resolution and more RAM than the Toshiba. There is also a bigger selection of roms and kernels available.

Damn you HP!! I had to get a tablet to satisfy my TouchPad lust.

FYI though, the price reduction on the Tosh Folio is now on the €100 voucher list at €219, meaning you should get it for €119 + shipping (hopefully)
