R Roger Garstang Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 27, 2012 #2 Kindle 2 better bring something to the table or that thing will run away with all Amazon's profits. The Offline Voice Recognition I have to see for myself though...if good that will be awesome. Wish this thing used a Phone Data Plan like the Note too.

NJDude Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jun 27, 2012 #4 I think I'm going to pre-order, it's cheap enough.
thedesolatesoul Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jun 28, 2012 #5 Okay, someone explain to me why it is £159? compared to $199? Nevertheless it is the cheapest no compromise tablet, it almost beats the chinese tablets out of the market!!!

warwound Expert Licensed User Longtime User Jun 28, 2012 #6 I just bought myself a Novo 7 Elf 2, it was delivered Tuesday and i'm very impressed with it so far. But now i'm wondering whether i should return it under the distance selling regulations and spend a bit more for the Nexus 7. Is the extra £40 worth spending (the Elf 2 was £120)..? I have a few days to make up my mind. Martin.

Todays exchange rate (according to Travelex) $199 = £130 add 20% vat and you have £158

R Roger Garstang Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jun 28, 2012 #11 Phone Arena just reported this only has 5.92GB of usable memory. I hate the way these manufacturers and carriers advertise the total all the time and forget to tell you there is nothing left over after all the extra junk. They are really pushing the cloud stuff and using data plans up for content you could store on the device lately too. All devices need to come with a minimum 32GB actually available to use. Shoot I have 25GB in songs alone.

R Roger Garstang Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 12, 2012 #15 You guys see the article yet showing this thing has a magnet sensor that works like the one in Blackberry? Should make for some cool cases.
