But maybe I'll wait for the V99. The 1.5Ghz cpu looks good, somemore the price looks interesting :D

Woot bro has a U9GT2 and a thread somewhere, look for it and confirm the battery life :)

Also you didn't do enough homework^^; V99 runs on Allwinner A10 (same as Novo7A). Allwinner A10 marketing gimmicks is that it's able to run at 1.5GHz, but actually running, 1.1GHz still stable, you'll get lots of reboots at 1.2GHz;)

LOL bro sc, I admit the review is good, but that's not the final factor that makes my decision.

I have no time to do lots of homework to find the most of budget tablet, but trust teclast a10 is not a bad candidate.

Furthermore, my china friend getting for me, so i don't want to miss the boat to save on shipping.

Getting from tmall, not the best deal, but reputable seller according to my china friend.

If that's the case go for it and give us a review later :) As long as it's around 999 RMB price you aren't far off :)

edit: this bro will be in the same Teclast A10 ship as u^^

sigh~ I'd just checked the link of the Taobao seller for SN10T2. Looks like it's out of stock again. sgshop haven't update the status, so I guess they haven't even purchase for me even though they confirmed my payment yesterday before 7pm:s27:

It has been only a two days but Pandawill gave me some reason about "testing by QC colleagues" for the delay. I though this sort of stuff is ex-stock one. They shouldn't open up every box to test? Will wait until end of the week then see how.

Merimobiles will open up do a quick test like less than a day, then send out. Pandawill I heard it's the same.

Problem is they put out of stock, means they could be delaying you for the restocks.:s8: Well I just hope your set turns out good :)

nope they won't open. i think sgshop/agents will open check to make sure no cracks and physical damage. If have they'll send back to the seller and ask for replacement.

Also why merimobiles will open and check, at least anything you won't need to waste postage back to them.

So better ask your friend open and check. Make sure it's a good working set, anything ask for replacement or refund immediately^^;

bro, here's the truth^^;
[New Arrival] Teclast A10 debuts at Pandawill

"Sorry for the delay. This tablet is an exception. It is a little difficult to get it from the market. The supplier only release several ones to market at once. Our staff is trying best to search from the market. Now we cannot give you the exact time when we send it to you. If you wouldn't like to wait, please contact our CS to give you the refund" Posted yesterday.

Well, they have contacted me again to tell me that they are shipping shortly. No tracking number yet and i will still keep my fingers crossed.

If they can't give me a confirmation at the end of the week, then probably will cancel it.

Below are the A10 chipset 9.7" IPS models to look out for. Do note these aren't out yet, so the advertised specs could change with actual release of the products^^;

Sigh~ Update of sgshop. They finally updated my 3rd time try to order of SN10T2. No stock. They confirmed my order before 7pm 19 Dec, supposed to order for me within 24hours. 2.20pm 21st Dec then update the status as no stock & it could be due to me writing to them this morning.

Their replied was due to their increase in order, they are now 1st come 1st serve (I don't argue with that, but their website stated within 24hrs). They also said they'll refund me immediately (which they did), and I can place a new order and call them to get priority.

I'm a bit too dishearted to try SN10T2 again:( Later end in disappointment... Maybe save the money get Vi40 or V99 bah... Have to rethink...

Hi seasonscrystal

Maybe you can try 65daigou as agent coz my experience with them was quite good. Place order at noon and make payment by the end of the day order was placed. However it was one mth ago and now is year end maybe busier I am not sure.
Use QQ to communicate with the seller if possible.

BTW yr review on the 3 new Tabs is making me :super: :s13::s13:
