The Malata T8 is here

http://www.hkepc.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1576672&extra=page=1
It's a T2 with 9.7" IPS screen.
You can read it all there.
P.S. pershoot and bekit, you should get this soon.....hahaha

How much is the T8?

Well, the article says 2000 yuan. That's around $300 if I'm not mistaken.

So, is this essentially a G-Pad with an IPS 1024x768 screen?
If so, it would be a bargain at $300, the solution to our screen woes.
Will it be sold in the US?

shall I see what I can get them for from my supplier that I get everything else from?
[EDIT] just looked at alibaba and they look to run $700 and up!... I'll see what I can find out.

Can't hurt to ask. If in G-Tab range, I would seriously consider buying one and selling the G-Tab.
But if $700, I am way happy with my $390 G-Tab.

我上星期四在廣州天河電腦城買了這台T8，
人仔3900買的，
玩了五天便2000人仔賣掉了，
這機wifi和3G的訊號非常差，
尤其wifi問題非常嚴重，
經常斷線和接收不到！
From google translate. he said that he bought it last thursday for $3900 Yen (US $600), and 5 days later, he sold it for $2000 yen (US $300). The wifi and 3g were poor and had big problem... something like that..
I will get Xoom then.

Currently, listed at a crazy RMB 3999, which is about USD 608.
That's why I said I would not buy it at that price.
I am quite sure it will drop when it start mass production.
After all, iPAD is only RMB 2888, even though this RMB 3999 come with a WCDMA module, it 's still a suicidal act to sell it at that.
The IPS is beautiful. I have the very first batch of T2 which use a 90 degree off cut of the TN panel, so that the negative effect is on the short side and viewing angle is better than the Viewsonic Version. Still, T8 beats it, no doubt.

Hahaha....This guy is funny and not very bright....
Here is the story, he brought it from the offical story at listed price, I think he must be really love it.
anyway, he said that there is WIFI problem and b****ing about it at the forum.
So the people in the forum told him that he said contact the store and get a exchange.
He said that forum is a offical forum and keep b****ing about it there, so the people there got mad and banned him.
He is mad then sold the unit for RMB 2000, which is a bit more than USD 300.
Since there is a exchange policy in the store, the person who brought it off him took it back to the store and exchange a new unit.......hahaha, a real steal at USD 300.
His original unit, was tested in the store and it connect WIFI OK, so they don't really know what he is talking about.
That's why I shown the WIFI Analyzer picture and have it side by side with my T2 and shown that they are about the same performance.
I guess this person just has load of money and does not know better.....

Yep... Official word is my cost is $630 (alibaba is even higher). I was told that Malata is going to have to start dropping prices due to the iPad price dump.
I was also told that it's mainly to be an international seller, so unless US Merchants or someone like that pics it up we probably wont see it too streamlined here. ALSO, means very little DEV love due to lack of availability.
Oh well, I would have played for $300.
Time will tell.

$400 US, and I would consider it - Tegra2 and IPS would be a match made in heaven.

It2steve! you can be our us Source!! that or find out what screen they used so we can use it on our Gtablets!

Malata T8 details
The price of the Malata T8 is 3000 RMB = 461 US$
This is for the WLAN / 3G version and it is from the Malta online shop. You need to have Alipay or other chinese payment methods to buy it there.
You find the description including Pictures for the panel on the Malata .cn Homepage. The description is not available in english so far but it is easy to navigate anyway.
There is no clear indication for the Android version, but it is Android 2.2. Quite good is the USB-Ethernet adaptor. It is not clear for me if the adaptor comes with the tablet but the tablet is ready to use for that interface. Further more Malate makes advertisment for the use of external hard drives without additional power adaptor.

hey at this price I'd rather wait and buy the ASUS Transformer $400 + Keyboard Dock $150 = $550, and it's Honeycomb w/ Tegra2 and 1280x800 IPS as well!

万利达销售：7 08:00:46

That's pretty much explains T8's price ... besides it's amazing IPS screen....
As happy buyer of T8 just day ago online...I can't wait for DHL Express bring this baby

amazone.co.uk got it for 420 euro.
When these hits retail stores, I probably will have to pay around 450 euro, mybe even more (they usualy overprice).

499 @ ditech, austria, vienna on 4.4
i think i will fall to 450 when they are able to supply enough units to satisfy demand. i bought mine despite of the higher price because i fear(ed) that the rumored production halt of the s4 processor in march will cause supply problems for 1-2 month ...

Thats £420, which equals ~510€, it's not 420€

I paid £428 for mine including shipping from Clove. It's not the lowest UK price, but there is not much difference at the moment, and their customer service when I bought my Desire from them in 2010 and in the few days leading up to my purchase was good enough that I decided it was worth giving them my business again.

In Italy costs around 600 euros (insane price :O)
So I'm also looking for cheaper units in Europe

I am wondering what the estimated price will be for this phone in the US with upgrade. I have to start setting aside money for the end of the month.

Today 489 Euros in a retail store, while a lot of mail order retailers are a bit higher still here in Germany.
Just nursing it to an 12h initial charge before starting to play around with it...

LG Nexus 4 listed for Pre order on Carphone Warehouse

LG Nexus 4 had been listed on UKs retailer site Carphone Warehouse for GBP 389.95 without contract and with contract for 31 pounds per month. Which they have removed now.. May be they were testing the page..
All specs matched the specs as rumored.. few things i noticed were there is no radio, no LTE, battery details were mentioned as to be confirmed.
389 pounds comes to around 630 USD. worth it? I dont think so..
more details here.. not sure whether i shud be posting links

Saw that too, fun But don't worry about the price. They just charge what they can get away with, what people are prepared to pay, which I think depends on the number rather than the value. The current GNex that costs $350, which is about €270, actually costs €350 - €400 in the shops in Europe. Because that number is a price that people are prepared to pay. In the U.S. it won't be $600, I'd say closer to $400. I don't know, because I haven't done any real analysis, but I think that Google aren't really interested in making any money from the Nexus devices, I mean there's no way they make much of a profit on the Nexus 7 with those specs, but more in making money from the advertising all the Android owners are exposed to, and the data collected.

picture used is the same one floating around yesterday which was known to be a fake.
Look at the time in the center and running apps in the left top corner...

I shudnt have compared it with the UK price. Cuz the Gnex even now sells for a lot more than the US price..
I dont think even Carphone guys got the detailed specs from LG.. I assume they just pulled some numbers from the rumors and posted it.. Actual specs might change along with some changes in the design.. But i wonder hw cud they bullishly announce the delivery date too even before the product has launched. got some balls i must say..

it could be that the Carphone guys are in on the publicity machine. I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that another 1 of the rumors a few weeks ago came from them too, a leaked stock manifest I think

S4 already a bestseller on Amazon!

Because of the many pre-orders, the S4 is already a bestseller on Amazon:

the price is not even announced how can they set up a price for the phone? also I believe it is gonna be less than that.

Official Samsung Price is 699 Euro in Europe. To be precise: 699.99 Euro
Samsung is selling it for 699.99 in their European shop:
http://www.samsungmobileshop.at/handydetail.php?id=504
Of course the street price will go down.
Only the early adopters will pay that price, for the privilege of being the first to have one in their hands.

A UK vendor has apparently seen a 40% increase in pre orders over the S3!!!

No Freebies with the S9/S9+

I maybe the only one here and sound rather spoilt but I was hoping for an gift or accessory for pre-orders like a few of us.
With the S7 it was the GearVR and last year they promoted the AKG earphones with the S8 (ok, they came with all of them). It also came in a lovely big Samsung box.
Even though it hasn't stopped me upgrading I feel they missed a trick here by creating more buzz on pre-orders.

we get a year of bein connect for free but i have a theory. Samsung lowered prices in some countries and priced higher on others, to compensate they offered freebies to less developped countries like mine (Morocco). To me looks like the richer countries are paying for poorer countries well except in the US. The other problem is, just from browsing the s9/s9+ forums i can see that the sales will be much lower, as we had hundredrs of posts on the s8/s8+ fourms during the preorder period vs less than 100 here. So Samsung should give more freebies in few weeks to boost sales

True lads, most countries gettin free wireless chargers etc, dex would be nice to get as a freebie, ahh.. i bet there'll be some freebies like a month after or so

In Saudi Arabia the pre-order is for th 256 GB varient only and the freebies are : (Selfie Stick;Car Charger;AKG wireless Speaker;Wireless Charging Stand)*

yep not happy no freebies on offer in the uk!!!

ok through a carrier we get the AKG y50BT, a 128gb sd card and 1year bein sport for free

Here in Italy S9+ is sold at 999 Eur. A little too much for my taste, They offer a buyback for used phones that in most cases is enough fair. For example S7 Edge is rated 350 Eur, S8+ 450, iphone 6 200 Eur. Sadly being patient and waiting for next months rebates wil be possible to buy the S9+ around 800 Eur and sell These phones for a little less thanwhat Samsung offers with more convenience.

I also noticed this price in Italy and asked the same question but no, it's the same version with 64gb storage. Every Amazon in Europe charge 950€ except Amazon.it.

S9+ 64GB 900$ here in India and with a very good exchange offer that can get you even more discount

Rightly said. I have pre-booked one by availing card, exchange and EMI discounts. I have opted for 18 months interest free EMI which is fantastic. As mentioned above the freebies only add to the cost of the overall price of the product which I am not that keen.

In Indonesia just get TUMI Case for all preorder S9/S9+

Not only are there no freebies but they had no discount bundles for preorders like they do for the released ones now. Kinda crappy Samsung .

I already have a VR, AKG headphones, and a 256gb EVO card from prior purchases. It'd be nice, but this time I just needed the phone.

In Czech Rep you wont get freebies but you can handle your old phone to get 100€ discount + price of your old phone if it had any value. Think its much better than freebies, which you wont usually use...

I got a Harman Kardon Onyx Mini for pre-ordering my S9+. Price here for 128GB is MYR3999 ~ USD 1022.
