I have a TF101 and my fiance steals it all the time to mess around or play games like angry birds, or around as equally demanding. I'm trying to find her a decent tablet running Android 4.0 (ICS) that I can afford on a $20 spare a week budget. The one she likes the looks of but I am unsure of any quality is this one on eBay. I planned to buy it under PayPals bill me later policy. Any opinions on that with PayPal?

Yes it does. She doesn't like the UI design of it though. She also made me promise I won't do any Modding to what I find lol.

The problem with those unbranded tablets on ebay, etc is that you'll likely get no support after buying it. Meaning you won't see any Android updates, you don't really have any kind of warranty and there won't be much dev support out there. If you can afford it something like the Nexus 7 will be better long term as it will likely see the next few versions of Android without you needing to flash any ROMs. Those ebay tablets will be on ICS forever, which is already one version old. But the Nexus is quite a bit more than the cheap tablets so if you are fine with the limitations due to your budget get the cheaper one.
I don't think there is even a brand name tablet that I can afford. Problem is I only make $90 a week and $70 is used to get what we need and pay on my truck. I only have $20 spare generally so I'd need something I can get cheap on bill me later.

Is anyone else excited about the transformer prime releasing on dec 8th. The specs are amazing. Just wanted to get your input on this tablet as I am looking into buying it when it releases. How good do u all think development will be? Thanks for responding.

Yes, no question.
Love the keyboard add-on too.
I really wish they would be smart about the price and go lower than $499.99 though.
seriously considering it. had an ipad2 but sold it once the et4g came out. the transformer prime looks RIDICULOUS
I love my transformer 1 but the prime is everything I wished the TF1 was especially than it's thinner and lighter than the ipad 2, thinner but just a hair heavier than the galaxy tab 10.1. I most likely wont be able to get it for myself until january. Then I plan on buying the tablet first, selling my tf 1 and dock, then buying the dock
Nuff nuff gonna sell my hp touchpad to cover part of the prime

I'm with you guys. It is gonna be great. His was the first transformer prime? Is Dec 8th the actual release date?
Yes Matty the keyboard looks so cool. I'm selling my Ipad for this beast.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
It does have nice specs, and it's thin and all that, but I have some reservations. First, it's expensive, especially if you get the keyboard. The quad-core(actually 5 core) Tegra chip sounds good, but until apps are written to specifically take advantage of it, the speed increase won't be as great as it could be. I would have preferred a screen with better than 1280x800, and lived with a dual-core processor.
Foo shooo... Got my pre order in from newegg. My first tablet!

I won't buy until it has a USB port ON THE TABLET. Bummer because it's close to perfect otherwise.
Better resolution would have been nice.
I'll wait for Samsung to release their next tablet before ever going with an Asus tablet again. I went through 4 TFs before giving up and jumping to the GT10.1. Haven't looked back since. The TF had one of the worst build quality I have seen on an electronic device.
hopefully early next year, so far its the only tablet I've had any interest in.

I have the og transformer, and really want to get the new one, but I can't really justify spending all that money on my college student budget when my og does most of the same. The transformer is an awesome tablet though. For anyone who doesn't have one already I recommend it.
It is especially great for college students who need a proper keyboard to take notes on in class and need the extra battery life so they can stay on campus all day and not worry about getting the coveted spots with outlets to study at.
Maybe if I can sell my og with keyboard for around 400 then I can upgrade.

I'm probably going to do it. I've been holding off on a tablet for years now, and at this point I feel one such as the Prime is more than powerful enough to last me through several years of tantalizing new chipsets. I still use a 1.6ghz dual core laptop from '06. ;-)
I personally don't see the use for tablets if you a Smartphone and a laptop.... tablets don't make calls and can't do a lot of what a laptop can do but to each his/her own. I personally won't be buying one, instead I will wait for quad core phones to hit and then cough up the 500 to upgrade early from my magnificent ET.
I probably won't be picking it up as I have the original TF and dock and hardly get any use out of it to begin with. Shame because the Prime looks amazing. I think a full blown laptop would have better suited my needs.

John that is one hell if a question. I don't know but wouldn't it have to be windows to run Odin? Also it is hard to justify 500 bucks for a tablet but that quad core keeps calling my name. Lol. Going to be selling some things to help with the cost so I feel better.

Xoom Family on sale @ Bestbuy I think its $349
I'd love to get a tablet with Qualcomm's new chips more than anything. Likely holding out here till next yr and get one with it and enjoy lte modem built on the die of the chip and great battery life savings because of such.
If I had to get one now it'd be the prime more likely if cost didn't matter.
Though if cost didn't matter id shell out for Qualcomm's developer tablet that's supposed to.be available in the early spring finally.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and a Motorola Xoom
Both very very similar though i must say I like the Galaxy Tab 10.1 more. The Xoom just cam down in price since the Xoom 2 is about to be releases, so maybe u can get a bargain...
If $ is not an issue, prime. I got my wife a kindle fire and for a basic tab it's great for $199
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I know this gets said often, but I would wait until March/April if you can. The main reason is that the iPad 3 should be released and there will probably be a few quad-core Android tablets. So even if you would be happy with a Tegra 2 tablet, those devices will drive the price down on the older models. However, if you don't care and you just want something NOW, then I would get the Prime. Biggest bang for the buck in that it costs $100 less than a comparable iPad 2 and most of the other Tegra 2 tablets out there. (I always laugh when people say it costs the same, but they compare a 32gb Prime against a 16gb whatever)
That's the tablet I'm buying, i can't wait to have my prime

Well, if you want the 7" form factor with stylus support, a Flyer at $299 isn't half bad. From what I understand the handwriting recognition is better than the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet which is more expensive and there aren't really many other games in town to support a stylus like that. So....sure, it's a valid recommendation for a specific audience.
Lately I have seen the Flyer going from $220-$250 at a lot of these Deal A Day/Slickdeal type of sites. Ebay even had a daily special last week for that price, for the Sprint Evo Tablet, no contract required.
Flyer - great for people that take lots of notes ( students?)
Xoom - This is what I have and i haven't had any issues with it. Just that its a bit on the heavy side
Galaxy Tab - Pretty much same as the xoom just that it doesn't have an expansion slot and its much lighter in weight
Prime - This thing is a beast!!
Im biased but for the price and spec's you can't beat the HP Touchpad.
Android or Webos, whichever one you want to run, plus top of the line specs for a dual core tablet. I love it.
Just get this

GSM or LTE?
I dunno...something seems odd. I have both and I use each for different reasons. I'd keep the prime and wait for my contract to run out and get a next phone with the renewal dicount.
PS - Galaxy Nexus is now $100 with new contract.
No I have GummyNex and they want to trade their TFP to me.. I'm tempted I just don't know if its worth it.

The galaxy nexus costs more at full price... so it actually does make sense. /fail
who cares about the cost that's not the point his statement is perfectly valid. There's many things that cost less then other products but still out do them. Plus I'm pretty sure the cost of making a prime is more then making a Gn. Retail is just different for both

i have both and honestly if i had to choose one to keep it would be my nexus, it's FASTlike faster than my prime, including most web browsing, using same browser both with adaway but i still prefer the larger screen of the prime, the camera on the nexus out preforms my primes camera in most situations surprisingly, also the nexus is more expensive unlocked at least in the US, especially if you get the GSM version like i did, luckily i got it for about $150 from dailysteals. So i completely understand why the OP would want to get rid of his nexus for a prime but at the same time i would keep my nexus.
I would say speeds are comparable however in gaming the prime blows past nexus

Hello,
Simply put, I'm no longer interested in having my nook tablet. It's a wonderful device, but it is of little use to me.
So I'm selling it at a greatly reduced price. I have the 16GB version, and I purchased it in April. I'm hoping to get $170 for it. If you're interested let me know, and I can provide proof that it is currently fully functioning, etc. It is currently running CM7.

You're probably better off in the Marketplace forum for this. Good luck selling your NT!
I'm probably selling mine as well, though I'll still be following the Nook Tablet as my gf wants to keep hers.
I just replaced my Sprint Motorola Photon with a Galaxy Nexus and will possibly grab a Nexus 7 when they're released. Only Nexus/GE devices for me in the future. The NT was a fun challenge but Nexus devices are where its at.
I'll buy one but for $100. The 16gg sells brand new for $189

For sure. Honestly, if I were selling mine, I wouldn't hold my breath hoping for more than $50. But since the Nexus lacks microSD, I'll stick with the latest releases of CM.

You guys need to remember one other thing: availability.
The Nexus 7 won't be available everywhere right away and more specifically, its cloud services (google music/movies/tv). I know a lot of people purchase kindle fires/nook tablets via ebay with the sole purpose of rooting and throwing on a custom rom or at least the play store so that they can have a "tablet experience."
The nook color was extremely popular for this last year.
My bad its $199 @Walmart.

Hello all,
In the near future I would like to sell my GP 5.0 to replace it for a phone.
It is almost 1 year old, has got some small scratches on the back and you can see its back has been damaged a bit (because it had been moved a table for example). But the screen itself is still perfect without scratches.
Do you think I can get (at least) 100 euros, which is around 125 USD, if i sell it?
I live in the Netherlands btw.
Greetings and thx in advance.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda premium
Judging on the prices for used ones on Amazon. I say yes it is still worth it. Believe it or not people are still buying the original 4.0 and 5.0 instead of the newer 3.6 and 4.2. However, I suggest selling it now because I believe the new iPod 5th gens are coming out around September-October
SELL IT NOW! I just sold mine for at $200 and I had to include a bunch of extras with it. Do it now because the price is going down in value
There is a new ICS galaxy player being released soon so if you want to sell it, you should sell it now or you won't get anything near what you paid for it

Thanks all. I only want to sell it because i want a phone instead of a 'dumb phone' and this mini-tablet, that just annoys me. Have to carry both everywhere.
Also I would like to pre-thank all developpers and people who've done great work for the device's development.
