Anyway, starhub called today and will get $100 voucher for recontract. Should be either Note or G Nexus or Razr bah So there's another toy to play

Walao eh, Why I don't have recontract voucher..
Did you call and request OR they offer voucher automatically

By the way, I have hubclub.. Maybe they know die die I will recontract, so they can't be bothered with me. Maybe I can call up and request for voucher!

Call to ask when can recontract, then when I say "Then can I ask", the guy finished for me "you want voucher right? will update in a week".

hubber can ask for voucher also ah? I didn't know that... I only know every year the main mobile line can upgrade handset Mine is just 2 years plan, don't need cable tv

Ask is the keyword. another strong keyword is port out / terminate line, and request to be redirected to the retention section. They have powers beyond your imagination

$42 just for the tablet alone? How heavy is it?

The $42 should be the whole box, not just the tablet. IIRC, sgshop can use either weight or volume for the light bulky items.

 

[Soul77]

42 should be delivery plus service charge. The svc charge is additional 8% of the total cost

I had sometime to play with it this morning. If you find the UI like not smooth on your momo11, that's just because Ployer did a crap up job with the launcher integration

Yes it's Ployer fault cos Teclast A10 firmware the UI integration is better, but not excellent... Based on videos, U9GT2 and N90 had done a bteter job, even my Uzone F0C UI is smoother with 512MB RAM

So what you should do is use launcherpro or adw launcher ex. It'll make the UI much smoother

Edit: BTW you can't use other device build.prop if you use RK launcher (default HC like launcher), if you intend to tweak the build.prop, better use other launcher.

hi guys what is the cheapest tablet that comes with built in 3g at the moment?

Not sure about chinese tablets but Viewsonic7 going for $499 (think Courts sometimes have limited quantities at $399, can also try SL)

 

[surefire888]

I am looking for an 8" tablet, capacitive (even better if IPS) screen mainly for reading, surfing and videos - less for games. 4:3 format will prob be better for reading.

I have identified the Ramos W13HD - just wondering if anyone has any opinion on this tablet or can suggest something better for ard the same price (ard US$250).

Many thanks.

My ployer momo11 came at a wrong time where I need to go back to the Army to serve my annual National duty to the Republic of Singapore... So weekend finally came where I finally have some time to play with it on top of the Chinese New Year prep I have to do.

Here' the brief specs of Momo11:

OS: Android 2.3.1 SDK2.1
CPU: Rockchip RK2918 @ 1GHz
GPU: Vivante GC800
RAM: 1GB
NAND storage: 16GB
Screen: 9.7" 1024x768 (4:3) 5-points multi-touch 200 lumens IPS panel (Should be LG)
Camera: 2.0MP (front) + 2.0MP (Back)
Battery capacity: 6000 mAh
Dimension: 245x190x12mm
Weight: 627g (NOT 550g as advertised)
Buttons: Power, Home, Volume+, Volume-
Ports: Mini-HDMI, Micro-USB (Data+Charging), Standard USB, 3.5mm, TFcard Slot
Accessories: Screen protector, USB cable, Earphone, Charger

Initial impressions:

I ordered mine from Ployer flagship store on online paipai site. They did a very decent packing, which resulted to having to pay 2590g of shipping due to the parcel box they used. Not really happy with the excess shipping fees I had to pay, but the tablet reached safely.

The build feels decent, I shaked the tablet around and didn't hear any loose cable or parts, but Novo7A feels better. However, I do not get a cheapo build or toy feel out of Momo11. The weight and handling is pretty ok, I would had prefered a physical back key since they are running on 2.3.1 and not ICS.

For the appearance shots just refer to the link below as it's the same things as what I'd gotten:

Ports

Screen:

My screen had 2 bright pixels and 2 bad pixels, it's something that I'd expected when I ordered a Ployer tablet. There's a little creeking sound when I grip one of the sides, which means the shell and screen panel fit is not very well design. Not really an issue, as it doesn't happen often.

The screen protector that came on Momo11 had been well applied. No air bubbles reported in other reviews, maybe because I'd gotten from the flagship store.

The screen color has a warm cast, this is will help bring the contrast but it'll make whites looks yellowish. I would had prefered it on neutral cast than cool or warm cast. To my knowledge you can't adjust this on Android. The screen does looks good when u crank up the brightness to 75-100%, which will drain battery REALLY fast. I normally set it below 25% which is sufficient for normal usage.

View angle is very good on IPS screen. I have compare shots of Acer Iconia A500 (Auto brightness which I believe around 50%) with Momo11 (100% brightness). A500 is a much brighter & better screen but as view angles goes Momo11 is the winner.

A500 auto-brightness (left) Momo11 100% brightness (right)

A500 100% brightness (left) Momo11 100% brightness (right)

Wifi:

I don't think it's fair to compare China tablet with International brand tablets, so I used the Ainol Novo7 Advanced and Uzone F0C for comparisons. I would say Momo11 has a more stable wifi connection than the F0C, the signal strenght is more consistant. Novo7A is more like a yoyo lol

UI & Firmware:

Momo11 is using the RK2918 SDK launcher, which Ployer did a bad integration. The UI feels a little laggy even after I killed all the tasks. As this is my 1st 1024 resolution RK2918, I had expected it to be slightly lagged compared to 800 resolution.

I'm not convinced that why I'm experience is the real RK2918 on 1024 resolution. So what I did is flash Momo11 with Teclast A10 firmware. BTW I hate the firmware tool that Ployer use, it took me one night to figure out that the tool ONLY works well on XP. I'm lucky I have varies devices running on different Windows, else I would go crazy.

After Momo11 is on Teclast firmware, the UI is much smoother. Something that is within my expectation of RK2918 running 1024 resolution. Momo11 firmware boot up is much faster, like 30secs and Teclast A10 firmware feels like double the time needed. Camera won't work & hard buttons didn't correctly. I believe these can be fixed, but not going to waste time.

So I flashed back to Momo11 latest firmware and try using launcher pro and adw ex launcher. They worked like a charm. Everything is smoother. I advise Momo11 owner to use other launcher if you don't intent to DIY port Teclast A10 firmware to Momo11.

Also to make the whole experience without back button better, install Button Savior on Momo11. You will need to root Momo11 which Gingerbreak and most rooting apps should be able root Momo11 fairly quickly.

To be continue...
