Like new. I have the original boxes. Barely used it 3-4 times. I put it it in the marketplace and on Craigslist but I figured I'd put it here too.
I'm looking for something I can tinker with. Perhaps any one with a Galaxy 10.1 that wish they gotten an iPad 2 instead?
I paid $700 for the 3G version and Smart Cover after tax. It works well but I'm looking to tinker and flash.
Send me a PM here or check out my craigslist posting. I've had lots of offers for Xooms and a few Asus Transformers and 1 Galaxy Tab 10.1 but decided to stick with it.
Selling only allowed in Marketplace.
Hi Everyone,
I have decided to purchase the A500 based on days of reading about this tablet versus the top 3 competitors.
However, where I live, this tablet is either discontinued or sold-out from local vendors.
I do have the opportunity to purchase a "no receipt" BNIB A500 32gb for $360 locally on craigslist.
My question to you is "do you think it's worth it?"
Many of you have read or experienced horror stories of malfunctioning gps, rocker buttons/power buttons failing, bricked start-up out of box, patterened screen, etc etc.
Just need a general opinion if I should risk it, as I have no warranty or return option.
I've come to trust everyone's opinion here, so I apologize if my question is juvenile.
I was never asked by Acer to produce my receipt in order to receive service. They have the tablet at the moment and are fixing a sleep issue. They only asked where I bought it and when.
Is the full size USB leading I to purchase the a500?

Yes, the full size USB is a big factor for me. Other reasons are the availability of roms / incoming ICS, cash price, and screen size.
I returned mine after getting a 32gb with screen flashing issues. My suggestion is to go with A200 brand new thru either Tigerdirect or Newegg for 349.99$ for 16GB brand new. No mini HDMI or Rear camera but ICS has already leaked for it and appears to be the replacement for the A500. There is a reason why its being replaced. I placed my order for a a200 yesterday.

Thanks for the opinion, I think I'll steer clear of something I can't return then!

Does the seller know where it was purchased? I have been finding more and more that retailers are keeping track of specific serial numbers. I bought a used DS for my son but the box was torn so I took it to walmart to exchange it and they said it was purchased at Best Buy originally.
That price seems a bit high to me for a used device even if it is listed a BNIB. There is no way to really tell if it is really new. Not too long ago one of the best buy had the 16GB refurbished ones for $279. When I tried to sell my 16GB used, I was getting offers in the $225 range.
I love the hdmi output for watching movies in any format on my TV so the A200 wouldn't work for me but everyone has different uses for a tablet.

I have noticed the same with retailers. The seller states it is shrink-wrapped and unopened, and can be opened in his presence for verification (with cash in hand.)
However, I have decided to not pursue a deal outside of buying from a retailer, as I would be heartbroken should an issue arise that Acer would not agree to fix without potential proof of purchase.
Well I should clarify it would have to be an awesome deal.
Thank you all for your replies. It's so hard to buy a tablet these days, with so many options and promised ICS upgrades!
Lenovo's Outlet has a boat-load of NEW Thinkpad Tablets for sale with various accessories included.
http://outlet.lenovo.com/tablets.html
Currently the 16GB with Pen included goes for $386.75, and it's brand new from Lenovo themselves. I'd say that's a pretty amazing deal! That's $90 off their regular online store NOT including the pen!
If anyone knows the reason for this price difference? (other than maybe they're looking to release their quad core tablet very soon)
Thought I'd share the great deal, looking forward to receiving mine shortly.
Well, considering I bought my September, not so much >.>, and I got it at 490 after tax and shipping, but still. I thought this was one of the only tablets that wouldn't drop their price
I think the problem is excess stock due to returns and cancels from poor software and hardware performance.
well ****
my 64GB model cost me alot more...
Ditto, and doesn't even work right. Lesson learned. No more Lenovo tablets for me unless they give them away.

Which android tablet would you say "works right" in comparison to the Lenovo TPT? I just ordered mine and it should be arriving next week complete with Folio Keyboard, Dock and Pen.
I chose this one for 3 real reasons, and 1 lame reason
Real reasons: 1)I like the option for the digitizer pen 2)It seems like it can take more of a beating than other tablets(i can be a clutz) and 3)I like the keyboard folio option(not for every day use)
Lame reason: 1) it matches all my ThinkPad paraphernalia(Notebook, Mouse, Keyboard, Cases...etc)
LOL I like your reasons. I never wanted the folio and still don't. If I had other Lenovo gear that would be a +1 here. I love the stylus but now others are coming so I don't have to put up with poor components and an OS overlay that requires root to function properly. My GPS has never functioned. If it wasn't for rooting and wanting to keep it, I'd send it in for warranty repair. Buttons have failed and micro USBs have too.
Getting a new tab soon. Already have a View and it has zero issue like my TPT. Looking for maybe the Galaxy Note 10.1.
Well, yeah, the pen is a dominating reason. At the same time, we bought it back in September, when this was the only tablet with a pen. There weren't even any that were rumored to come out except the hypothetical Galaxy Note at that point, which I learnt later at that time was only 5 inches. Now there's the Galaxy Note 10.1 that's coming out and a few more, so yeah, I'd look at the others before landing on the TPT. The Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet was almost a test, and though they did pretty well, I feel I might just wait a little bit longer.
I got my 32gb tablet for $350 for buy.com 8 months ago. I don't see why this price is so great?
I agree. Not great prices.
provantage.com
has...
16GB for 318
32GB for 340
Is that provantage price with the pen?
eBay has some solid refurb deals, but it's hard to tell with many of them if the pen is included or not. I just a 16gb refurb for $299 with just the pen and and charger.
try buy.Com

Yesterday i received the tf101 that i bought from ebay for a killer price and i have decided to sell my og tab since i will have no need for it anymore
I am posting here for current tab users [especially devs] to buy it off of me and have first crack at it.
I am selling it for $110 dollars, Ill have pictures of it soon if you need it
it has 2 minor chips around it but the screen is in perfect condition, scratch marks on the back [Not deep] and the sim card slot does not work [received it that way off ebay] so it is essentially a wifi-only tab
to the mods: If thiss post is not accepted here, please by all means delete the thread, i am just trying to help some devs test on the variant version of the OG Tab
PM Me, Thank you guys
As far as I have seen, there are Xolo, Advent VEGA, Shenzhen Homecare Technology Fly One (Russia?), EVGA and Gigabyte that are making the Tegra Note 7 (did I miss any?) Edit: Yes I did, Zotac is one of the major ones, as well. As well as Cherry Mobile, Gradiente, Gazer (Ph, Brazil, Ukraine).
Has anyone noticed any difference between the different brands, if so what are they are and is there one brand that has higher quality than the rest? Myself I would lean on Gigabyte and EVGA, but at this point, I have no idea.
Also, where besides ebay is the place where people buy these 2nd hand, I haven't seen anyone for sale on swappa. Only places like Craigslist and such left?
Homecare in china also, I think.
There are no differences between brands. This tab is just rebranded by other brands, manufatured by Nvidia, so quality is same everywhere.
I had purchased this Tab 1 year ago from Xolo brand in India and Xolo is not so popular here(Just a 1.5 yr old brand).
Cherry Mobile Tegra note 7 has different looks that other tegra note 7s but still the same tablet inside, I believe.
Hi new here and new to the tegra note 7, I bought mine used off US ebay they are also available used from US amazon starting at $140

Hi, Welcome to the forums. I am also relatively new here. Enjoy your new TN7, it's a nice tablet for both gaming and productivity given the price

Thanks I'm not a gamer the TN7 was only one of 2 tablets with a stylus that is compatible with the new square up chip card readers. The other one was note 10 way too big. So now along with gamers there will probably be a lot of small business owners trying to find this little gem.
