It's piping hot at this price.

That is ridiculously cheap.
So cheap I wonder if it's a mistake.

So you're telling me that stock android can't be flashed onto this?

You can flash a rom on it, but what tesco offers isn't the google play edition and you can't make it into a google play edition.
But this is not really the topic for this discussion and there has been plenty said about this, use the search function if you want to know more.

Pretty awesome deal, bought one for the household.

Also bought another one
Returning the one I have as well. Backed up Mahdi rom, setting etc.
Will be saving £70!

Oh and to put into picture how cheap this is, it's similar price to the 16gb version of the Moto G, and similar to the 8gb Moto G if you use a £10 voucher....I see it as a no brainer to get one! :victory:

Bought one to replace my Nook HD+ which I should get £70-£80 or so for it, so pretty cheap upgrade....

Bought 10 cheers!

all sold out now

It's OOS at the moment.
I did buy mine in store, so if you're next to a big Tesco store, you can still get it.

Just got mine in-store, have to say it would be a lovely device full price, for the same price as a Tesco Hudl it's a steal.

That's exactly what I did when I got the G Pad a couple of months ago, and after selling the Nook, the LG ended up costing me about $30-40. No regrets.

Went to tesco and they didn't even have them in stock! By this point though, I wanted one so bought one from amazon for £180. Arrives Saturday. Hopefully will go well with my g2 though.

The Samsung website, list the Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) with +HSPA ability... but I can not find any stores that sell it.
BestBuy.com only list it w/ WiFi capabilities.
Does anyone know where to purchase the +HSPA (GSM) model? And please no sites like eBay..
I want a reputable store.. bestbuy, frys electronics, tigerdirect, etc. No Chinese CrackStores on ebay.

That site seems to Highly Overprice its items... iPhone 4S 16GB Original Price $1,198? I think not.. Their sale price is still more than the Unlocked version straight from the Apple Store ($649.00) and the Galaxy Nexus is priced $30 more than what I paid via the Google Store.
Think I'll keep looking... plus I'm not familiar with that Retailer. Really looking for somewhere I can walk in and buy..

The Galaxy tab2 is not overpriced on that website,although the Galaxy Nexus (I also bought mine from Google Play) and the Nexus 7 tab are, and I agree with you.As for the iPhone they are overpriced everywhere regardless of the website.
And yes you can get the p-3100 in the US.

Buying in USA or waiting in Canada

Hey guys, I'm from Canada and I'm planning to buy a tablet and decided to go with the note because of the multiscreen function and the s pen that could help me in my studies! Anyway my girlfriend parents are going to New Hampshire next week and they said they wouldn't mine buying one for me (obviously I would repay them ).
So I just wanted to know your opinions on either waiting for the note to come in canada (will be available to pre order soon at future shop) or make my gf parents buy one from the US and if so where would be a good place that would have them in stock? I don't want to make them drive everywhere to get it so somewhere not to complicated like a walmart, etc??
Thanks
PS: The sooner I get it, the better it is, I just can't wait anymore!!!!
Sent from my Incredible S using xda app-developers app
I remember driving around everywhere here in Maryland trying to find it when it came out. I could only find it available at Best Buy's, but they were sold out at every location. I tried looking at Office Depot, Staples, Target, and Walmart but the best tablet they were selling was the Tab 10.1 2 or the Nexus 7. I would just check Best Buy online or have one shipped to a store for pickup in NH if they are sold out so they can physically pick it up. Just check shipping times.
Some of these early models have some QC issues like light bleed. You may want to wait and buy it from a retailer who can accept a return if you are unlucky and get a faulty unit.

I got mine from B&H. It's definitely an American company, but it arrived 4 days later (cheapest option) and never seemed to spend any time in customs. The package said that it was from the B&H warehouse... in Etobicoke. I had to pay sales tax, but no duty/customs/import fees.
I'm in Calgary, so 4 days from Ontario is pretty quick! There's no way it could have crossed the border as well.
Anyways, if your girlfriend's parents can't find one in NH, I'd recommend B&H (bhphotovideo.com). I've bought camera stuff from them for years, and I've never had any "surprise" cross-border fees.

I think you guys are missing the point. In Canada the 32 gb will cost you $499. In the US the 16gb is the $499 and the 32gb is $550. So you getting more for your money if you buy it in Canada.

True... I forgot to actually reply to your post when I replied to your post!
The only advantage I can see from ordering from the States is getting the white one, and getting it faster. When I ordered mine in mid-August, Canada wasn't on the horizon. Now that it is though, I might have waited.
On the other hand, I've never come anywhere close to the 16 GB on my Nexus S (it's reading 11 free right now), so I really don't care about the extra space. I do like the white better than the grey, so I'm not kicking myself right now.

Moto G Germany

Hey guys, I just found this link:
http://www.nullprozentshop.de/Handy...e=chip&utm_medium=NPSPS&utm_campaign=standard
You ll be able to get the 16 GB version of the phone for 149€.
I guess also other european ppl might be able to order it from there
Do you know that site? It's too cheap...
Inviato dal mio Xperia U utilizzando Tapatalk
I ll try to confirm this.
If you scroll all the way down, you ll read notebooksbilliger.de and this company is pretty well known here in germany. So if this site is a brother company of notebooksbilliger, it definitly is trustworthy, although it seems, like you have to pay the phone off on a monthly basis, which I dont like at all... I prefere to pay all at once.
And I found this offer on chip.de which is also a pretty well known brand

I wouldn't recommend buying from them. They want all kinds of detailed information about you (what job you have, etc.) and by buying from them you agree that they also get tons of other information about you.

That's because of the SCHUFA. They want to check if you are credit-worthy. So they need you information to look up your entry at the SCHUFA

Trying to get the SHUFA information is one thing, but before being able to order you have to fill out TONS of stuff that have nothing to do with you being credit-worthy.
As I said, I would not order there (I actually stopped the ordering process when I saw how much info they wanted..one page after another with detailed personal info that is none of their business). But each to their own, I guess.
Just keep in mind that their "parent company" already offers very good prices and they sometimes undercut this by 50 bucks or more. Why? Because they want that info to sell those EXTREMELY detailed profiles you just gave them.

I don't buy there anymore, because sending inside of 14 days return or to repair it, is a pain in the ass and takes ages ... Amazon sent it "for free" due to Amazon Prime and it's super easy even w/o any bills to send it back to them.

If anybody bought it... Could anybody confirm that the German version has Hungarian language or not? The UK version has not this is sure.
Very lot of thanks in advance!

No Hungarian on my. Bought from Amazon.de
If you guys settled in UK, you can find 8gb version from tesco for £89, unlock code is £2 so total should be £91 for the phone. That's a good price

For those of you who don't have one yet, better pick one up while they're still discounted. I don't see any reason to pay $349 for the Google Play Edition, as the software should be interchangeable with a few simple mods.

Completely agree

Now on UK Play Store!

Just a heads up you can now pre-order on the UK play store, though annoyingly sand isn't available.
It certainly is! I've just ordered the 16gb in black. The sand version is yet to be made available but it's showing as only available in 32gb. The standard cases are £35 and the keyboard is £110, both not available.
I wanted the sand one but I'm too impatient so I've ordered at 32GB white model, I'll opt for the £35 cover once it's available, I don't think I'd really use the keyboard and it's far too overpriced!
I was considering the 32gb but thankfully I have a Three OnePlan SIM and live in a 4G area so I am pretty well covered for streaming and using Google Drive etc.
Enjoy your tablet!
£400 for the 32GB version. The Nexus 6 is going to be £600 at this rate.
It won't be far from it. And yet the nexus 6 was in my original plans to buy! But no where at that price!
Need to sell my lg g pad.. Hardly used it. Also have a nexus 7 2013 which I haven't used much.... But I still want to get the nexus 9.
I'm a sucker for nexus products.
Am I the only one who thinks the P&P of £9.99 is kinda ridicules ?

You're not, I had the same reaction, especially considering it doesn't state it as a next day delivery service.
It makes me laugh how they call it next day yet it's a pre order.
Bit the bullet and pre-ordered a 32GB black from Amazon, even though the £399 price is a bit ludicrous. I suppose I'll get a fair few years of usage out of it and it'll receive timely updates OTA so there's that.

i asked some one who works in carphonewarehouse and he told me that EE will have exclusivity for however long... and he said you might aswell just buy it from the play store outright.
so maybe they wont allow people to buy the phone outright?
just rumors.
