    Since its "ICOO" and not some sort of samsung or nexus rip off I think it will get by fine.

    I've chanced it too. Don't need it as I already have a Nexus but how could anyone resist for that price? Specs seems to be alright but I am concerned that even at full price it was only $90.

    70 bucks on dealprime. Not the worst bargain here. Bloody good stocking filler for a young child.

    DX is always reliable. Aliexpress could be dodgy but never DX.

    Its great value... seems okay spec if it was for a kids christmas present.

    Dont 100% bank on it being here before christmas... DX are quick usually, as have ordered from them before and some items have arrived in two weeks and then sometimes within six weeks. so if you are think of it as a christmas present then buy it now or have a backup present just in case it doesnt arrive in time.

    It'll be VAT free as it's classed as a phone.

    I assume if it has bluetooth any keyboard will work with it once you pair it.

    Says 8 - 10 days but from reading some reviews about DX, some of their times can be hit and miss, I'll assume it'll get here before Christmas.

    Strange, I'm typing this on my iPad Air but part of me is still excited about this little bargain.. if it comes..

    Consignments not exceeding a total customs value of €22 may be imported without payment of VAT.

    DX probably sells cases with built in keyboards to suit it.

    Its great value... seems okay spec if it was for a kids christmas present.

    Bare in mind that you will need to buy a usb charger for this (if you have a usb phone charger you are set) and it will incur revenue import duty charges as it is an item over the €12 goods value import limit.

    Not everyone will be done for customs charges, but those who will expect to pay approx €5 customs duty and a €8 an post handling fee... So tag on about €13.

    Just a heads up.

    Edit... Dont 100% bank on it being here before christmas... DX are quick usually, as have ordered from them before and some items have arrived in two weeks and then sometimes within six weeks. so if you are think of it as a christmas present then buy it now or have a backup present just in case it doesnt arrive in time.

    An post charge €6+ vat of about 4.80 so expect €11.80.
    What's the deal about phones being VAT free?


    Actually nothing payable duty to VAT being less than €6

    Somebody in the Android forum posted a link to the Revenue/Customs site which stated that communications devices are VAT free.This can be used as a phone so it qualifies.

    Phones deffo not vat free. never heard of or experienced that.

    Ive imported two phones in the last 4 months and been hit twice for customs charges.

    Cheers... edited post to reflect that it might not be hit with import fees at all now.

    Hopefully it wont

    Its the lowest that i have ever seen a tablet on sale for.

    512mb RAM is a bit small nowadays, but for the price its worth it.

    Even better if you stick a custom rom such as slimbean to make it even snappier and make android less of a ram hog. Also if you get a different browser such as AOSP browser w/ root, instead of chrome, it will be very snappy.

    Ordered one purely for web browsing and google music in the house.

    Its impossible to tell really. It could be a misprice or stock clearance. Id advise to order now if you actually want it as word gets around, lots more will order this, and resellers will jump all over this unfortunately, since DX is worldwide.
