    I ordered on the 28th, Dispatched on the 29th, Delivered to Parcel Motel on the 31st.
    No other info since then. Is anyone else the same? Or did anyone else have the same dates and already receive it?
    Thanks.

    (I'm not sure if my PMID is on it, even though it is on TescoDirect, it seems to be missing from final address, but my name is different enough for it to find me, hopefully.)


    Exactly the same situation:D Most likely it will be with you tonight or earlier morning tomorrow.

    If you log onto you PM website & scroll down, you should spot your item there.(Hope it is there) Click the photo icon to view the parcel. Mine was shown in depot 4pm yesterday. But somehow it doesn't get delivered to locker last night. Called the PM this morning, they confirmed it will be here today.

    Mine has never shown up when it is in the depot, only when it is in the locker. But nothing now anyway, Hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow.

    You are right that happens sometime, three of my other items were only shown when they were delivered in the locker. However this time, I can see the the status for this shipment since yesterday. Currently it is showing "InTransit 3 Jan 2014 12:35". hope you will have yours soon:)

    There was no PM ID on my package, even though the tracking information on the yodel website showed my ID on the address.

    Luckily I had already emailed parcel motel the day itwas dispatched, just in case. I gave them the yodel tracking number and asked them to keep an eye or for it. If yours hasn't shown up yet I'd email them.

    I just checked it there - It arrived in my local Motel at 0:14AM, Never got a text, but it's there :) Stored with PIN..
    I'll grab it tomorrow. Big thanks to the OP also. Great price.
    All the headache i had with the Nook, I bought it for my mother after a tablet had smashed.. She didn't even look at it (Still in it's box).
    She'll love this.

    Got mine.

    Nice bit of kit. A bargain for £59.00.

    It'll come in very handy for travelling.

    Just got to get used of the size of the screen compared to my iPad 3.

    Got it :)

    And like absolutegroove ^^, I hope she gets used to the screen. Her last tablet was 10" and loved. 7 inch hopefully won't make much of a difference to her.

    Thanks OP. :)

    Dam I knew I should have got one of these :P. Just disappointed since the deal extreme saga and didn't want a repeat of it.

    Really wanted one of these but when i tried to pay I got "out of stock"....to make things doubly worse, much as I still want one I can't bring myself to pay 150 odd euro, knowing I came so close to getting one so cheaply!!!!:mad:

    My ME173X arrived today.

    I am delighted with it. I had picked up a ME172V a few weeks back for £49 from Tesco. It is perfectly fine but this one blows it out of the water in terms of how fluid it is, quality of the screen and the viewing angle.

    I can see now why it reached over 6000 degrees heat on HUKD :)

    So has anyone put a custom ROM on theirs?

    No real need for one. It's fast, smooth and no problems.

    Mine seems to be pretty fast overall. A little lag now and again, but very infrequent and it's not a problem. It would be nice to get rid of some of the pre-installed bloatware though.

    Root it and install Rom Toolbox and App Master, but be careful not to remove apps altogether until you are sure you don't want/need them.
    Those two are safe enough. If you are doing something, they'll warn you, and place them in the recycle bin instead of deleting.

    I haven't had much hands-on, as I bought it for my Mother and I told her I'd set it up/install apps for her in a few days.
    I messed around with it for a few minutes and thought it was great.

    It is pretty nippy really, a great piece of kit for the money. I'm very happy with it.

    I've seen a lot of people saying that SuperdragonPT's custom ROM is faster than the pre-installed one. I'm not sure if I really need to go to the trouble of finding out, because I'm happy enough with it as it is, but if someone else does try it out, please report :)

    To be honest, i don't see the need for Custom Roms so much anymore, except when bloatware is a problem and the OS is before Jellybean.

    They are great to mess around with, but you can buy a used tablet for €20 (For example) And mess around with it

    Also it seems that the source code isn't available to make a proper custom rom like CM for example. I think this means that any customised rom will be limited variations on the original.

    Has anyone tried a 64GB Micro SDXC on this yet, It says 32GB supported but would be interesting to see if it can go further

    Use Partition Wizard or Partition Master (To prevent any issues/errors that you may have) and Format the card to FAT32.
    It will see the card then.
