Be interested in this too , there is one on amazon with a keyboard but I can't find any reviews about it.

Mr E

Is there any benefit to unlocking it before trading it back? For example, they may give you €46 for an "A" Meteor unit, but €56 for an "A" Unlocked unit. If you can get it unlocked for a fiver using an online service, that's an extra fiver saved on the whole deal.

Meh, I'd take the €46. You'll never be buying from them anyway.

On another note, a bit ambitious of this seller, trying to swipe the tablet for a mere €9 !

looks like someone else trying to get the tablet for free and plus some money )

Useful hint for anyone using bargain alerts.

DO : Go with spontaneity and just buy it

On the flip side that strategy could have you end up with a room full of stuff that you dont really need .

Unlock codes are about 20-25 euro for the lumia 530.

Out of stock now, meteor must have copped on to the giveaway deal. That's the danger of alerting them!

It has being coming in and out of stock all day. They lowered the price of their deal of the month also, and it is now sold out.

Keep checking the pages, hopefully they will have more stock available soon.

if only i had a CeX close to me. The Whest really isn't a nice place to live.

Galway?

Or post it to them.

OOS now anyway. Probably good i missed this one anyway, No real use for either of these.

Since this has Windows 8.1, do you think it will be possible to get a product key for Windows 10 on their free upgrade for the first year... and use on another device (laptop)? I'd be happy to retire the €43 tablet if they don't want both the Win 8.1 and Win 10 license active.

Lumia 530.

Out of interest, is the handset any use? Might just pass it onto the wife to replace her old reliable Nokia 7373!

It is a snappy phone thanks to the Snapdragon processor. Camera is basic and storage is only 4GB, so it is worth getting a memory card. The great thing about the Lumias is they accept upto 128gb cards too.

What's delivery time like, are you supposed to get a dispatched email before the delivery. Ordered yesterday evening and Won't be in the house tomorrow

They send you an email the night before delivery. You should get your email tonight. Delivery will be tomorrow by DPD.

None in stock now Grrrr might be some in morning though as they are probably getting stores to send back their surplus stocks to sell them online....... Hopefully:-D

Oh damn gutted that I missed this deal out

Can't buy from the meteor store using a phone browser which is damned inconsiderate of them:'( would give me a better chance of getting the next one in stock with the yellow phone :-)

When you click how to buy it gives you the option to buy on full site which you can view on your phone.

Any way around the high unlock costs?

Nope. Unless you are on Meteor and have spent enough to allow you to unlock a few IMEIs. Lumia's have always been dear to unlock manually.

Sam Mac

Just got a dispatch notice for mine (Phone, Tablet + SIM Card)! Should be with me tomorrow.

Jhcx

Same.

i look forward to experiencing windows mobile, being a pc head and hating 8.1. i dont know if i will struggle with 8 till 10 is released. Im more interested in the phone to see how good it really is when it costs 100+ in some countries

Humorously, given its name, I cannot find any evidence as to whether the tablet can be coerced into running Linux.

Each item was priced at the full amount in the email I received hope they don't try and grab the full amount.

Same. They just sent out individual shipping emails with separate pricing. Nothing to worry about.

Mine says:

1 x Nokia Lumia 530 + Linx Tab 7 Yellow €89.98
Total with free delivery €89.98

No separate emails. Just one email.

That's the order confirmation and not the shipping email I presume.

My original order for just the tablet has been charged to my bank account which I cancelled. Im going to refuse it. Hopefully get confirmation the 530/Tab deal has gone through today.

Same for me. I got confirmation of both orders last night. The bloody hassle of sending it back!

I accepted the delivery so they are sending me out a Jiffy bag with a prepaid label. Hope it fits in the packet!

My bundle deal is showing as Out for Delivery as of 8.26am this morning, yay! Super fast service from Meteor in fairness to them.

GBX

Did you get an email to confirm that or do you have a meteor account you can check this on?? I haven't received confirmation the first one has been dispatched yet.

I ordered the single tablet on Monday and still no confirmation to say its been dispatched.

Mine just changed to out for delivery too. Happy days! Ordered Monday evening.

Maybe they cancelled it on time but the transaction already went through on your card? Best to email or ring them and ask whats up.

Yes.

I ordered mine around 1pm so it won't ship till tonight so at present just the one email. It's the only amount visa secure approved so they cannot take more anyway.

In the status tab. It was out for delivery first. Then it added the extra info a few minutes after.
