So this monday i went to my local sams's club and found these new tablets beign sold there for a really REALLY cheap price ($2,000 Pesos, like 140 USD).
The thing is, i can't seem to find any information about this tablet, even in their official site: http://www.sharperimage.com/
Does anyone knows about it?
I'm kinda lost and don't want to buy something just to find out that is really crappy and can't mod it or something (My main attraction to Android devices).

Dear forumers,
I would like to have your suggestion.
I thought to get a phone but as all phones that I want are kinda expensive even from 2nd hand. I thought to buy 2-3 broken phones from ebay and make 1 completely working. of course I'm not the only "smart-ass" but should I try to?
I have experience fixing Nokia's and Motorola's phones.
If in your opinion I should try, which phone would you suggest me? (I thought about HTC HD2 because it can run almost all OSes out there except iOS) Please do not suggest me an iPhone, my sis owns one and I feel there is something missing in this OS (maybe it just me)
so your thoughts?
Well if you have experience in such things, why not if it gives you a good deal.
I would aim for phones where you have to replace the screen, they are usually the most common broken phones.
I would check to see how much the broken phones on eBay are selling for first of all, to see if buying two broken ones would even be cost effective compared to buying one okay one. For example, one broken Incredible on eBay right now is buy it now for around $140, while a working one is buy it now for around $180, so buying two to make one working one at these prices would be a dumb idea. If you can find broken ones for cheaper and you think you can do the fixes I would go for it. Like the above poster, I think that phones with a shattered screen would probably be your best shot.
well I found another option, I found really cheap motorola milestone which is blocked (bad ESN), will it be hard to unblock and prevent any future blocking
Okay, so I bought a sidekick 4g on ebay for $26. Only like a small portion of the touch screen worked. So I bought a touch screen digitizer on ebay for $19 and replaced it for myself.The thing is the buyer didn't list in the description that the IMEI was blocked, which means that I won't be able to register to any networks at all. So basically this was a media player to me. Then I listed it on ebay for $95, thinking nobody would buy it. But it turns out somebody did buy it which shocked me cause who would wanna buy a $96 media player? But, right now I'm kind of hesitant whether I should sell this or not, cause this is the only phone/media player I have, and I really seem to like this phone now, it's decent. I LOVE the keyboard. So my question to you is, Is this a good deal for me? And if there any other phones out there I can get for the price that I sold this phone for? MAybe around 100 bucks?
Eh, for a little more than 100 and some searching, you might be able to get your hands on a decent g2.
I returned a G2 to switch to the SK4G. There is no better phone on the market for me (read: no better keyboard). For a media-player though, I'd think touch-screen would be fine, so just get the fastest Android you can find. Ton's of sub $100 options on eBay.
Ugh. I can't find any good cheap phones. Anyone wanna thrw out any names?

It looks like my HTC Evita has passed away from old age, I'm looking to get a G2 (would really like a G3 but it's not out yet) and was looking at this one on ebay. I'm unsure if it's just somethign that can be resolved by getting a new display or if it's a deeper issure. Anyone have any thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

PS If anyone is looking to sell a G2, I'm looking to buy
I wouldn't buy it if I were you. But if you think you can replace the screen and has done it before, then go ahead. Otherwise, it's a very risky investment there. I am tempted for the G3 too but I've heard that it'd be at least $850 unlocked so I'll stick to my G2 which I got for $400
Hello, Im looking for the cheapest tablet that i can get for my kid that i can ROOT. But if necessary go back to stock if he screws it up....
Anyone have any ideas of what kind and price? The lower the price the better.. He is NOT very responsible and dont wanna get a high priced paper weight....
Last year we git a REAL cheap starter one and it was just alittle to limited.. No google play, etc,etc...
To sum it up, I Need a cheap tablet( Size does not matter), that can be rooted and go back to stock if needed and have google play on it..
Thanks to all that helps!
I was thinking alittle cheaper... This is going to be for a 10 year boy... So... It prolly will get broke..
Hello guys!
I'm planning to buy Shield Tablet as a multi-purpose media device. I also know all about the battery-related recall done last year.
There's this local online buy and sell store here in our country and I found someone who's selling the older model (the one with built in stylus) for a really good deal. Item's still in sealed box, never opened, and was given to him as a gift and he doesn't need it (at least that's what he said). I'm really rooting for the stylus that's why I don't really like the newer K1 in which I still have to buy the stylus separately and worry about where to put it when not in use.
Now here's the problem: the box of the Shield he's selling seems to be different from what you can commonly see on tech blogs and unboxing videos or even in Google image searches. Please refer to photos below (credits to whoever uploaded these photos). The one on the left is the 'common' box and the one on the right is the look of the unit's box he's selling. QUESTION: What's the difference between the two? Could it be possible that the one with the 'newer' looking design has the updated B01 battery and not the older Y01?
Please help! This is a really good deal and I don't want to pass up on it. Besides, I can't find a single Shield Tablet in malls around my city and this local online store is the only place I have found to have the Shield in stock.
Please help, guys! Will be waiting!
The Lollipop looking box (newer/second) has better odds of containing a B01. All of the B01* units I have originated in boxes like that. I only have a box for one of the 2 Y01 units and it looks like the older box (KitKat looking).
Personally I am partial to the Y01 units at the moment, and probably will be more-so once I've replaced the batteries in the Y01 units I have.
I may feel better about the B01* units when I've found a way to get reliable WiFi on every reboot. NOTE: I have no units that show as pure B01, only B01*
