As usual I have no idea how this compares to other offers, I simply pass it on in case it's of interest.

I just ordered one as a early Xmas present for myself.

Hope it turns out OK.

You can have them for ~£75 BuyItNow from eBay. I am dithering over this. On the one hand it's a cheap trial for a tablet and I can sync one to my Blackberry Torch.

On the other, do I really need a tablet? And if I do, is this the right one?

Much easier just to dither and do nothing.

Oh well. I went and looked at the comments and thought 'what the hell - I could dither forever'. I've ordered one - let's see what happens next.

Hope it's OK. Looks like a good deal but I'm not buying one and know little about Android so my opinion isn't really useful.

Well, it arrived this morning, with the magnetic charger but without the instruction/warranty manual. I've turned it on, set it up, and connected it to my phone (Blackberry Torch). It's installing its OS update as I write.

Of course, keeping my daughter's hands off it will be another matter.

But so far, so good. Thank you, and well done Morgans.

Don't these have to be linked to a BlackBerry to do anything useful?

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Absolutely no idea.

Having just installed the Blackberry Bridge to link to my phone, it means I can do phone stuff on the tablet and use the phone as a remote control for the tablet if I want to. Which might or might not be useful, but isn't necessary for browsing, cloud services, apps etc. as without it you have normal wifi access to the internet.
