So I created the other thread HERE where I bought a preatty decent android phone from china. Now I'm buying a very decent tab. Can't wait for it. Paid for. Now the long wait for china post to deliver and customs to add their excuse of a custom fee to it.... sigh.

Looks like very soon I will only be buying phones and tabs from china. Its better value for money I reckon. PS I HAVE yet to recieve it. Bought it tonight but the reviews are pretty decent showing a antutu score of +-7861 which I think is very very good for a R1622 Tab.

Would have waited to post it but I see that the discount coupon is only valid until the 14th. Even after that @ $215 is still a pretty decent price. Just mentioning it if you wanted to save some money.

It will bring the price to $198.71 with free airmail china post or add a extra $4.77 for Singapore post or $40.44 for DHL

R1622 for a pretty decent tab.... What do you guys think?

Ohh I was asked about custms. I paid R53 last time when I got my phone. I doubt it will be any higher with the tab. :)

EDIT Links fixed.... sry

That's a great price for a tablet that has the specs of the Galaxy S2.

The only thing I'd worry about is how fast the updates come out, but at ~R1600 this really is a steal!
 
Bump!

I see the Pipo M3 is available for $220.

Mmmm i think I want :D

Cavedog, did you remember to check the boxes for all your free gifts?

Also, I see are there a keyboard case in the extra accessories. Anyone have an idea what that is?

Anyone knows how good this Geeko tablet is? Looks decent for the price?

5 inch screen (if I read correctly, the picture is blurry), 256MB of RAM with 512MB onboard space is pretty terrible. Even 3 year old phones have better specs (besides the screen ofc).

look at the shop OP posted and take a look around. Most of those have free shipping. You'll get a whole lot more bang for your buck there if you don't mind waiting 3 weeks for delivery.
 
Forget that Geeko model.

Only issue with this Chinese tab is 1024 res. I just can't do that anymore. Your 4.8" phone has a higher res than that 9.7" screen cavedog.
 
soooo...... no tab yet? Was hoping for a mini review before deciding whether its worth it or not. Then again, based on the phone that you just bought, might be good enough for me to go ahead and order in any case

Anyways I got my TAB Today...... Wow what a wait. China Post is WAY slower than singpost.

Anyways I bought it that time from pandawill and they declared it as office supplies worth $20. Since its coming from China customs detained it for more than 1 week and sent me a notice in the mail. They told me that a Tablet is electronic goods and not Office supplies. He also told me that a tablet is not worth $20 so I need to email him the incvoice.

I told him I won it on a website and that I did not pay for it. He said I need to specify a value for the item. I emailed him my invoice from pandawill and they released it the same day.

Today I had to pay R270 for customs fees/duties and tax...... Pretty shocked cause it never happened to me. I think I could have paid less if I had just sent hime a invoice for the cheaper pipo tablet.

Anyways my conscience is at rest since I paid the duties for what I bought.

NOW....... WOW what a tablet. Fast... First thing I noticed is the HUGE screen and the clarity of the screen. I'm impressed to say it mildly.

Not only that is that this tablet has frequent firmware updates available from the pio website. So they are keeping the rom smooth and update well. I was worried about that.

Pics to follow soon. It just wanted me to buy another one now. I will play with it tonight and give more feedback but it looks epic as the title says and yes it 4.1 Jelly bean android os.
 
Wow ok. Connected a 32GB flash drive formatted as NTFS and connected it to my tablet with the cable provided.

It worked well. Not only that...... I played a 10.5GB .mkv full hd movie without ANY lag and audio also worked fine. Wow. I was like kinda impressed that the 32GB flash drive worked. Then was amazed that it played battleship.2012.1080p.bluray.x264-sparks.mkv without any problems.

Nice. Got a snap of it playing the video. Wow the display is so clean and clear.

*ps* I own the original blu ray of that movie.....
