[Q] Help choosing an android tablet - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I just won a nokia lumia 800 in a work raffle and I want to sell/trade it for an android tablet but am after a bit of advice.
Here are my options
Sell to CEX for £246
Trade in at CEX (£303)
if I do this I could get either a xoom 32gb + 3g for £320 or a transformer with dock for £375 (so an extra £17 or £72)
Or I could sell the phone on ebay for around £350 (so £300 after fees) and just buy a tablet anywhere
What are your thoughts?
The other tablet I and everyone wants is a transformer prime but that isn't released here until January and will cost about £500
I want a 9-10" tablet and will mainly use it for web and comics but not a lot of gaming as I have an xperia play and a gaming laptop

[Q]-[EU] Is the HTC Flyer still a good buy ?

Hi everyone !
I am planning to buy a 7" tablet on this beginning on 2012 (HNY).
My usage for a 7" will be essentially Internet, GPS, and some Games.
Now that it has Honeycomb, i am preferring the HTC Flyer over the Acer Iconia Tab A100,
Cause the Flyer got a better design, better screen, and moar storage (despite the fact that the Acer is more powerful with the Tegra 2).
The prices for the HTC Flyer here in France are 299€ for the 16GB WIFI Only and 380-400€ for the 32GB WIFI+3G.
So my questions are :
_ Does the Flyer worth that money ?
_ Will the Flyer become obsolete soon cause of it's Single Core CPU or it stills have good time to live ?
_ Does it worth to wait for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus which is more expansive than the Flyer ?
Thank you for your answers
I am in India and a bought 3g+WiFi model for $400 ( euro 300 ) with scribe pen. In us also it was sold dirt cheap recently at bestbuy. The price in your country seems to a bit high.
Though its a very good tablet, I would say look for it for about at euro 300 for a 3g version. Then you can't go wrong.

1. around the same price as in australia...i had a wifi only tablet and it turned out to be pretty useless to me, so i 'upgraded' my 10" transformer to the 7" flyer...if you can afford the 3G version, get it
2. best purchase ever...i love it
3. all devices are obsolete within 6 months of being released
4. lol @ samsung...noooo comparison between HTC and samsung devices, i don't care what the specs say! and do you mean expAnsive, as in better, or expEnsive, as in it costs more? (doesn't matter really, my answer is still the same)

That's pricing for you in Europe, we always pay more than the rest of the world (except Australia...)
And €300 for a 3G version, I think you'd have to look second-hand, and even then I think it'll be difficult.
For the OP: I have a 16GB Wifi-only. And I was also first thinking about the Acer, but they took too long to come to market here. In the end, I just couldn't wait and shelved out a bit more (I paid a total of around €350, and that included two silicon protectors, a folder case, a screenprotector and a car charger) and I've been very happy ever since. Even with GB (which, I must admit, now that I have HC, I still like better... But for the pen-support in HC, I'd go back).
Edit:
oh and about 3G vs wifi-only: 3G is no use to me, as I don't want to pay premium for a 3G subscription or data-plan... I like my very cheap call/text subscription...

[Q]About reviewed Prime and it's price.

Hello guys and girls.
I was browsing today checking somethings on Amazon and I saw the Asus Transformer Prime 64 GB is almost 200$ more expensive than 1 month ago. I know Asus said they revised the Prime due Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, 1080p screen and 3G, and it would get 100$ more expensive.
My question is: they replaced the problematic Primes from stores and replaced them by the revised ones? If yes, the only way I get the old one (I barrely use Bluetooth, 720p screen is enough for me, I will never use GPS, I have enough signal of Wifi from the places I will use it and I think my mom won't pay 20$ (it's quite expensive in my country, this price) for the tablet 3G plan (or I will be able to use my micro SIM from my phone on it?)) is by eBay?
Sorry for the confusing post.
They is no new model prime out now. The one you describe is the tf-700. A minor upgrade to current prime. It won't be out till June at the earliest. There is no "old" prime. Lol. And there is no 3gbp version out now and the tf-700 is not 3g also.
I'd say go out n get the Prime. Its still a brand new device n not even widely available yet due to such high demands of it. Its the most sought after tablet since its the most powerful, having a tegra3 and best display of any tablet out today. Its a great device. Just read the "positive transformer prime" thread in my signature.
Oh, thanks for the info. I am saying this because, in mid December, the 64 GB was 600$ on Amazon. I was browsing today and it's 800$. Some error of them? Or it's right?
I am just confused, what was reviewed and already on the market? I was looking at here almost since it's announcement, but I will only be able to buy it in March or April.
Thanks again.
The 32gb should be available everywhere online for $499 American money. The 64gb are harder to come by n those I believe are $599. I'm not sure if its available in your country et but you could always order from online. Not sure why the price hike but some places around the world its actually costs more than American version if you convert price from that country to American money. THE current Transformer Prime is available now though. That's the one you want to look for. Transformer Prime
Ah, thanks, I got it. It's impossible to buy eletronics in Brazil. a 32 GB version costs between 1000 and 1500 american dolars. Ps Vita will cost 800 american dolars, Wifi only. Taxes are way to high. Well, I think I will buy the 32 Gb version tough... How many movies and series + music + game data + Android stuff did you managed to fit in it?
Most likely what you're seeing are people who have already bought it, and are turning around and reselling it at a higher price. Once amazon gets more in stock, they should have them priced at msrp ($499/32gb $599/64gb).

[Q] What is fare price for two weeks old TFP with keyboard dock?

Hi. I am new member here.
About two weeks ago(Feb 25), I purchased TFP from office depot.
I am long time iPhone/iPad user but I wanted trying Android Tablet. I choose TFP because it has best spec, and ICS.
But now I realized that I am more comfortable with iOS.
My question is what's fare value of my two weeks old TFP with keyboard. It is gray model. I tried to return to Office Depot, but they are not allow me to return it. Exchange only.
I paid $499 + $149 + Tax. I think I should ask $550 on eBay. Do you think that is fare value of mine? Any comment will be helpful to me. I am very new on eBay.
Thank you.
Ask for 600 on craigslist would be a good starting price.

Not bad. Seems to be around 275-325 range. So basically u lost 25% right now.
Bear in mind that they are also available from PC World (UK) for £299 new
The 32Gb ones are "only" £380

Even now that we have ics no luck to sell!
Try one of the tablet selling websites like sell-my-tablet.com. You can usually get a pretty good price on these types of sites, especially if it's a tablet which doesn't fetch much interest on eBay.
sold my 32GB tablet S for 275,- euro in Holland via a dutch marketplace site.
Before I had an iPad 1 and bought about 100 apps for it, after about 4 month's of Android I still missed a lot of my old apps.
for example: Plants vs Zombie's was not official available in the dutch playstore and as I am from Holland, I'm also not able to buy apps from Amazon, for the iPad I allready bought the same app more then half a year ago...
So after a while I was only doing some web-browsing on the tablet S and was still frustrated about the strange power supply connection.

[Q] UK Z4 Tablet without keyboard

I've just learnt that most (hopefully not all) the UK retailers selling the Z4 tablet sell it with the included keyboard dock. I guess this justifies the approx £500 cost. I initially thought this was too high for the tablet alone and was going to wait until it dropped a little. However, I don't feel I need the keyboard so has anyone seen UK retailer selling the Z4 without the keyboard for a proportionally cheaper price?
TIA
I recall reading somewhere that UK retailers will only be selling the z4 tablet with the keyboard. This includes the Sony UK online store - which is a bit nuts as they are also selling the keyboard by itself as a Z4 accessory (?)
