Hi this is my first post. I am looking for a new cell phone. I bought a Samsung m530 and don't like it and will return it. I have been looking for something that has a few more toys. I have seen mixed reviews on the HTC Touch Diamond. I know its windows based and there is a lot of freeware available. I am sort of a computer geek so I am not afraid of playing around for a while. Is this a good phone. They have the last one on hold for me at a local Bell Store in Ontario for $150 Thanks in advance.
i'm thinking of getting the archos 101 tablet, not ready to shell out that much cash for a galaxy tab, and i was wondering if xda will have a forum for it. i'm hoping so becasue i would love to see a good amount of development for it. the specs are pretty nice for a budget tablet.
I'm getting the 101 also..
released officially in the States November 8th. A Monday. I have gapps4Archos.apk and market4archos.apk's if you need
i just saw where tigerdirect is letting you pre order, unfortunately they already sold their first shipment so they are not taking orders at this time. i called and talked to a rep and he said they will begin shipping them out on the 1st and expects them to be back up for order then. it really looks like a nice tablet, then add the low price to the nice specs and its a no brainer for me. i'm sure when better tablets come out next year i'll want to upgrade...but for now this tablet looks really exciting!
I have preordered my 101 too already. The e-store where I ordered it have said 9th. will be the shipping date. So only a weeke and a half to go
Would also love to see lots of development on Archos (and other future android tablets).
i'm still not sure where to preorder from, i was gonna order from tiger direct but it appears they are out for now....as well as amazon. the archos canada twitter site llnks you to a place that is still taking orders i may order from them not sure yet. i'd rather order from somewhere within the us though.

i pre ordered a 101 8gb this morning from http://www.archos.ca/ and the guy said it would be shipped out via ups the day he gets them in.
I'm really interested in the 101, but it only has 256mb ram... Thats really a Debbie downer for me. I'm looking at a Tegra 2 tablet too, but it seems like everywhere but the States is getting them.
I also emailed xda a suggestion for other tablets, including the Archos.
Yes I was hoping for more ram as well, but the original droid only had that much ram and I think it el be enough I'm sure I will get a gingerbread tablet next year anyways. Still really looking forward to getting this
hi i live in the UK have been looking for a tablet and this one seems the best choice having good specs and a very active community always a bonus but i was wondering does anyone here live in the UK with one or will i have to be importing to get one? any help would be greatly appreciated[=
Buying in the UK
Hi
I purchased one of these on ebay.com and had it shipped to here. Unfortunately I ended up having to pay £50 vat at customs. I have seen them in Amazon but they havr been priced at around £450. Including the VAT I had to pay it still worked out at about £270. I only received the tablet yesterday, and the first thing I did was to flash the rom to TNT lite. Love this machine and it works so smoothly. Hope this is of some help

I live in Germany and ordered via borderlinx... Worked out fine, I was able to participate from low price from electronic express, who only ship within States. Make sure you search for some coupon code
Have you thought about the advent vega tablet? It is pretty similar if not the same HW as the g tab. Dont' know about the details, but maybe some investigating pays of... probably people ins this great forum know mpre about it )
Good luck!
If I lived in the UK I'd just get the advent vega.

Yep. Looks like pcworld has the vega back in stock... just get one. Its easier..
I got mine to Portugal cause a friend brought it to me.. else would try get a vega
thanks guys for your help[= been looking around and seemingly people are getting these g tablet roms to work on the vega which was my main worry in buying it[= thanks for all your help[=
I bought it on Ebay and it took about two weeks. One reason I bought it was because the support for g-tablet seemed to be much more than for the advent vega. Another important reason was that advent vega ran out of stock!! Both are good I think.
I've done a bunch of research and decided to enter the tablet world today thanks to woot. I've read a bunch of information on the GTablet and one of the things that keep coming up is the fact that out of the box, it leaves something to be desired. Since I will be rooting it and installing custom mods on it anyway, I'm not worried too much about the preinstalled software, but I read about updates from ViewSonic. Can someone fill me in on these updates so I know what course of action I should take as soon as I get my new tablet?
Connect to wifi, DL viewsonic update, reboot, install clockworkmod then your rom

Sick, I just wooted
Same. I was all stoked for the iPad2 but decided to go with a rooted Gtab. Hope I'm not disappointed!
Almost bought one from Sears the other day for $400. Good thing I passed on it as Woot has it for $100 less. Anyway, I've been reading on a lot on the xda forum too, hopefully I will have all the knowledge to properly root it. I've been jailbreaking iPhones are years now, so I hope that experience help on rooting android.
If there are links to guides that help help newbies, please post them. Thanks.
All of you,
Congratulations on your new G-Tablets -- even if you did get them way cheaper
than a lot of us did!!!
But please, all of you, read these forums and get used to your tablet so you don't
make a mistake and mess it up bad. Modding does have risks.
All the info you need is in these forums. A little research should answer most
questions -- and it you don't "get it" at least you will be able for post an
intelligent questions someone can help you with.
Good Luck,
Rev
They must have wooted a lot of tablets. I wooted one too.

The GTablet is a hackers dream. Easy to root, so much so that all the custom ROMs here are pre-rooted for you and can be installed easily without rooting the factory ROM. Jailbreak experience not required but I do recommend you become as familiar as you can with "nvflash" as it could become a very good friend if things go awry. You'll find some information about it and a lot of other good info in the stickied threads in the development section.
Same Here, Just wooted one as well.
Does that make all of you wooters???

My iPad 2 just came in the mail today after waiting since I ordered on launch day... My friend text me the woot deal this morning so I ordered one... tablets have such a long ways to go I'm much happier spending half as much until something amazing comes out.
Luckily someone took the iPad 2 off my hands from craigslist... now I just have to wait for woot to ship! Lots to read in the meantime it seems. It's exciting to see such a great community following for a device.
Also got one off of woot today! Been wanting a tablet for awhile. Really wanted the xoom but for the price I couldn't pass up the g-tab!
Me too!
I also just got me a g-tab off of woot. I am torn though cause I am not sure which I'll use more, my inspire 4g or my g-tab...
I guess this thread needs to be called the "Woot Club". I just found the woot of the day, and snatched it up for $279. Too good to pass up.
I was so happy to find all the good things you guys have to say about it on this forum. I'm running an Incredible with CM7 RC2 and love the customization and well, the OS itself. It was actually XDA forums that made me decide to pull the trigger.
I got in on the woot too. Very excited. I hope my wife doesn't kill me when that woot box shows up. I'll have to buy her some earrings to distract her.
I wooted this morning at work! I'm exited to see what viewsonic has come up with. I have a rooted dx now hopefully rooted this one will be similar. Z4 root works I've heard?
I purchased one from woot as well. I currently have a D1 and have rooted the phone several times. This is a great forum to gain knowledge and I can't wait to begin playing with the gtablet. I was going to wait for the samsung but couldn't pass on the price.
joined the woot train and purchased mine. Addicted to rooting and customizing my Sprint Epic 4g, was going to buy a Nook color but not anymore
Can't wait to mod my G-Tablet and show friends its awesomeness.
Hello xda community!
I am looking into buying a tablet soon, and am wondering what tablet I should get for this will be my first.
I would like it if the tablet had an active developement community.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!
-icraft
If you have enough money to spare and a bit patience, i would wait for the transformer prime and see how it is welcomed in the developement community.
Besides that, the acer iconia A501/A500 are not bad.
If it should be a bit more low budget, check out one of the amazon readers. Most have received android custom ROMs.
I am willing to wait for I would still like to do.more reasearch. I probably wont end up buying anything until Q1 2012
Any other suggestions?
Transformer Prime is defiantly the best choice. Quad-core with ICS, can't be beat. I have 2 tablets, and I think tablets are great.
Hit that thank button if I helped!
What kind of price tag are we looking at for the transformer prime? Hopefully 600-?
It will be around there.
Hit that thank button if I helped!
Ya will be around ~600, its 600euro incl. keyboard on german amazon.
I just researched a lot on the tablet and came to find that it will be launching with honeycomb and the price for the 32gb version is 499$ USD
I will be looking into this tablet, thanks.
