    Why do people brag about clearing the shelves of bargains, even worse brag about doing it to sell them on Ebay? I have had confirmation of my order so if this is genuine I will be lucky enough to get one. Some people won't be so lucky and that will be because greedy people order multiples to sell them on. Do us all a favour and if you intend to do this, keep it to yourself.

    If that was directed at me, I guess I can only say sorry.
    I don't like people who brag. I certainly didn't mean to come across like that.
    I just thought that it could be a possible way to make some money, and this is a website about saving(making) money.

    Anway, back on topic.

    I've ordered one. Watch this space I guess....

    The 8.9 size is really nice I wanted the 8.9 tab for ages but have just bought a nexus 7 with the tesco deal last week! I've seen these for about 250 on other sites. Good price. This is much better than blackberry playbook because it is an android tablet!! Blackberry is a dying operating system.

    After reading some of the posts on hduk I cancelled my order as many of them are talking of HMV going under. I don't know if any of this true and certainly hope it isn't for all the people that have placed orders. I may just be way too over cautious. Good luck and well done to everyone if it is 100%

    Could it be that its just got the feed from hotukdeals rather than posted by hmv employee
    Exactly, although I don't understand why HMV haven't taken down the offer if it's not for real. They must have people working on a Saturday.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
  • ordered one :D
    if it comes then I might sell it for a profit:p:o
  • Will this be getting ICS or JB?

    I think ICS is available as an update.

    I would watch the reselling thing on eBay as HMRC are really cracking down on uk sellers particularly those selling multiple single items. So if you sell 1 perhaps not a problem but more than 1 could attract attention and land you with a tax bill!! I know someone who bought loads of kids clothes from next sale and sold them on eBay. HMRC have just caught up with her... She isn't happy!!
  • Have ordered this tablet. Can I use the orange dongle with this
    to get internet access when away from home. (I realise I would need a usb adaptor) Thankyou in advance.:)

    I know it's cheap, but it's only running a 1ghz processor, which will run Android fine but is older technology. The Nexus 7 has a Quad Core 1.4Ghz which is miles faster and you also get the latest version of Android (Jelly Bean) for the same price.

    Here's a comparison

    or here

    http://tablets.androidauthority.com/compare/91-134/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-8-9-vs-Nexus-7

    not had any probs with mine runs everything i throw at it, the nexus is also smaller so you are not comparing like with like, go and compare a 8.9/9" tablet not a 7" one

    Also those comparison tables are incorrect, they say it does not have blue tooth GPS,microphone, gorilla glass mine has all of those
