Look pretty cheap but vote me down if not.

Samsung Galaxy 7" Tab 2 8GB Wi-Fi $289 pick up - JB HiFi

Not as fast and cost more than Nexus7 8GB, but has SD card reader.

MOD — Unblock JB Hi-Fi for now to allow posting this deal.

    if it is not jelly bean upgradable, not really a deal. $199 is more like it.

    Why was JB Hi-Fi locked out?

    I feel like I have missed something :P

    • scotty on 25/07/2012 - 09:25

      No, it was blocked temporarily because people continue to post the Family & Friends shopping night deal.

    I think at $287 delivered it is still very hard to compete with the other tablet that runs Jelly Bean, has twice the CPU core and probably better built as well.

      Please don't think this is a troll, but I can't help but feel that if only those other guys had included that one conspicuously absent external storage thingy it would be hands-down the best buy around ATM!

      That's a deal-breaker for me personally, and USB OTG is a no-go! ;)

        deal-breaker for me personally

        Yup. For me, 3 Android phones and 3 Android tablets later, I still have trouble filling out whatever storage that came with those devices, ranging from 2GB to 16GB.

        I guess while at home I'm doing streaming from NAS most of the time, and really haven't had a need to keep a few movies on the device while I'm away.

    resolution is only 1024x600 this is the tablets downfall. It's not bad, but not great either.

      netsurfer on 25/07/2012 - 09:58

      Yes, that is a bit of an issue as well. Quite a few Gameloft and EA games will not let you install on tablets with that resolution (well Android Play/Market won't let you install them).

        Not really. Most of the games run on my galaxy tab.

    The Good Guys at Penrif offered the 16Gb to me for $250, only 2 left a couple days ago

      JB HI-Fi always expensive prices.

    •  
      lamerthanlam on 25/07/2012 - 10:13

      Did you have to haggle for this price? Or were you just offered it. Also posng the receipt would be helpful too

      •  
        warwick108 on 25/07/2012 - 11:00

        I know a person that knows a person :)
        However I did haggle with one of the other workers and he offered it for 235. I didn't buy it because I can't justify paying 40 dollars less for a quad core.. was seeing if I could get it under 200 :)

    JB Hifi, $189 is more like it, this thing is inferior in almost every way to the Google tablet at $249 (US$ 199)

    Should get it less than $200 otherwise people will buy Nexus 7.

    It was a good deal until N7 happened.

    Did they ever release the 3G version of this in Australia?
    Had the original Tab 7 for a while - neat thing was it could make calls.
    The wife has got the Optus MyTab which does too, although getting a bit old now. I'd like to update it for her.

      Unless you need to make calls outside the house, VoIP over WiFi is going to be cheaper than any SIM card for making calls.

      •  
        King Tightarse on 25/07/2012 - 11:33

        Well she uses it as an "everything" device so she needs phone calls and 3G.

        •  
          dazweeja on 25/07/2012 - 11:38

          OK, fair enough. Galaxy Note or upcoming Note 2?

        •  
          salem on 25/07/2012 - 12:19

          Get the Note 1 once Note 2 is out. should be a great price around then, and still pretty impressive specs.

          King Tightarse on 25/07/2012 - 12:21

          Well I was kinda thinking of this. When I read about the release of the Tab @ some months back, there was supposed to be a 3G version with phone ability. Not sure if it was produced or made it to OZ.
          She likes the 7" form factor.

          Mine likes the 10" one ;)

      PissLUR on 25/07/2012 - 12:54

      yes the 32gb version. you can find it on jbhifi's website

    giggles on 25/07/2012 - 11:31

    Yawn. This has been the catalogue price for weeks now. I got one for $279 a few days ago at JB.

          that's really sad. I will never be buying a model without microSD. I'm sure that's just their current line and a way to sell more 16Gb units over the 8Gb. No expansion slot = stupid.

          Access to a skydrive or cloud storage will NEVER replace local expansion cards. Imagine - on a country drive with no 3G/NextG access to your 16Gb of 'cloud' stored movies. No thanks, I'd rather have a 16Gb microSD installed.
