Bing Lee have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 ,7inch 8GB WIFI ONLY
Silver and White Listed at $188 but the item comes up $158 at checkout
So who knows if they intend it to be $158 or $188
Anyway its either a great deal or a big mistake
I prefer the Galaxy 2 to the NEXUS purely because you can add up to 32GB SDHC card (possibly 64 GB)

http://www.binglee.com.au/awesome-4some

I see the Same price discrepancy still exists
However they have Added Limit 2 per customer
SO looks like the deal is on. 5/4 1.00pm

    Only the Galaxy Note 10.1" supports 64GB I think. The Tab 2's only support up to 32GB. Oh please put it as the 7' model.

    • David Hasslehoff on 04/04/2013 - 22:25

      the previous tab 1 supports 64gb card

    Nice price, but I'd still get the Nexus 7 for $30 more. Quadcore JB (and beyond) makes a big difference vs. dual core. I didn't believe it until I upgraded…

      Agree, But the Samsung Tab 2 7 inch is a top tablet and I think $160 is a price which most people would pay for a 7inch Tablet

        It wasn't so long ago that folks were happy to pay this price for import China tabs…for a major brand name at a B&M retailer it's pretty darn good IMHO!

          Import China tabs are moving in leaps and bounds. You'll soon be able to get a quad-core, 7" tab, 1280x800 IPS with GPS and phone functionality along with 5000ma battery for US$160. http://www.gizchina.com/2013/04/02/no-1-minipad-android-ipad…

    This does have call functionality which the Nexus 7 does not btw, if that matters to you. And it's a fraction of the cost of a Galaxy Note II

    • ChmpgneTasteBeerBdgt on 04/04/2013 - 23:26

      Isn't that only for the 3G model or do all Galaxy Tab 2 have the ability to make calls?

          No, the A6 lightning cable one which they call "iPad with Retina Display" is the new new iPad.

          iPad5 would have to be called New New New iPad, or something equally silly (Retina display? Is that implying new iPad / iPad 3 does not have a Retina Display?).

    great price! worth a purchase for sure. if only this was the 7.7 though. quick search reveals the 7.7 can't be had for <$400 at the moment :(

    • Jackson on 05/04/2013 - 12:31

      I was really impressed by the 7.7. Why is this tab so hard to find/so expensive? I thought maybe its the banned tab as it was too like the iPad (thin, aluminum etc) so rather than dig them into a hole they had ebgames sell them for 200 a pop, but this is just my theory

      • StewBalls on 05/04/2013 - 15:07
        +2

        You can quite literally thank Apple for the lack of 7.7 availability…AFAIK it was the European ban that crippled that particular product line, because apparently any rectangular tab just looks too much like an iPad.

        I grabbed one in the EB Games runout, best ~$200 I've spent in ages! :)

    Learnt from my previous case for my acer 10" tab to get one that protects the corners as that is the area most susceptible to damage when dropped. Hope this case will do the job.

  • systmworks on 05/04/2013 - 16:26

    Installed root access.. clockworkmod.. and have tried a couple of custom ROM's running latest Android 4.2.2 but have not found one I am happy with yet (I run LiquidSmooth on my phone which is very nice).

    Screen resolution is far lower than I am used to on my phone (Samsung Note2 5.5") or ipad, but for $150 I guess that is expected - I had almost forgotten what pixels look like.

    The screen colours are a bit dull, and had to increase the brightness to 80%+ to look decent.

    • vash12 on 05/04/2013 - 16:39

      Does it runs well on android 4.2.2? is it sluggish?

      • systmworks on 05/04/2013 - 17:00

        No, in fact it seems a lot faster (many custom ROMs are optimised for speed and battery life), and without all the preloaded Samsung stuff installed.

        Its not as fast as my Samsung Note phone, but then that runs at 1600 Mhz stock, and I have allowed it to clock up to 1800 Mhz under demand, which is much faster than this 1000 Mhz tablet.

        • systmworks on 05/04/2013 - 17:35

          Just installed XBox MediaCentre onto the tablet.

          It struggled a bit streaming 720p video over wifi, but played standard def content fine, and I am sure it will play 720p and maybe 1080p content from internal storage OK.

      • Saiya on 06/04/2013 - 13:43

        I installed 4.2.2 on mine and it is a lot better than stock. I highly recommend to update.

        • cheepo on 07/04/2013 - 12:53

          Do you mean a custom 4.2.2 rom? If so, which one?

          So many custom roms to choose from. Hard to distinguish which one to install to get the best performance out of this tablet.

          Any suggestions?

        • Saiya on 09/04/2013 - 20:20

          Yep its the custom ROM. Baked Blackbean. Very impressed with how smooth it is compared to the stock ROM.

        • cheepo on 12/04/2013 - 12:59

          Thanks Saiya.

          Will need to test this ROM out once I get a bit of time figuring out how to flash it.

          Last thing I installed a custom ROM on was my original Galaxy S phone and that was some time ago now. Hope it's as easy I remember it.

        • systmworks on 12/04/2013 - 19:32

          If you install the Goo Manager app from the app store, you can browse a range of ROM's suitable for the hardware its running on (and it checks for updates), and it helps flash it for you.

    Damn, i couldn't resist, I bought one

  • ttwaite on 09/04/2013 - 00:15

    Bought one and must say that form factor is nice as i own a tab 2 10.1 and always thought 7' would be too small. I only think reading on the 7' might still be a pain. Also on the bus or waiting for a bus etc the 7 is perfect as the 10.1 is a bit too bi looking and people can see me watching family guy lol. Only thing i dislike about the 7 is the screen seems pretty crap, some what green/blue tinted all the time compared to the 10
    Cranking the brightness sort of gets rid of it bit hey i bought it purely fpr watching stuff on the bus etc and listening to podcasts. All in all$150 was a decent buy and i wont need an upgrade for years as it will be used for basic stuff. HOpe everyone is enjoying theirs.

  • [Deactivated] on 09/04/2013 - 14:04

      yeah we dont have bing lee in WA, so no one would price match, had to buy off website.

      • ttwaite on 09/04/2013 - 15:23

        Im in SA and not binglee here. What you do is get OW to price match and beat by 5%. They will do it no matter what Australian online store you found it at a better price aslong as they have stock. Also they will take into account any shipping costs involved.

        So for example as this was $158 which was cheaper than my local OW they beat it by 5% and made it $150.10 and as binglee offered free delivery i dobt gwet OW putting on any extra charges. So really i got it for $150.10, have it instantly and have local warranty. Your welcome young one :)

    I thought the courier screwed me over but the invoice is only for one and the shipping label is 1 of 1 parcel… I contacted Fastway couriers and they confirmed only one parcel was to be delivered but Bing Lee sent a delivery confirmation for 2. I can't contact Bing Lee yet as their call centre is shut until 9am.

    Not sure if anyone is still reading comments on this bargain, but this might help someone.

    I installed PAC-ROM custom software on this device (link below) and with a couple of minor tweaks it has made a massive difference to the tablet experience.

    1) under the "Performance Control" menu, change max speed to 1,350 Mhz (instead of stock 1,000 Mhz).

    Makes the tablet much, much faster. And because it only runs at the higher speed under heavy load, it does not affect the battery life much.
    Note, DO NOT select higher than 1,350 as it is not stable. Select the option to set 1,350 Mhz on boot.

    2) under the "Hybrid Properties" menu choose one of the bottom three 85 or 108 DPI options (instead of stock 160dpi).

    This makes it feel like a higher res screen tablet, fitting much more info onto the screen.

    • cheepo on 14/04/2013 - 02:25

      I'm certainly still reading comments on here and thanks for recommending Goo Manager. Never knew something existed on the market that can manage/install roms straight from the phone. Like I said, it's been a while.

      Ideally, I would like to backup the stock rom (and have the option of recovering it if needed for warranty purposes), before installing a custom rom.

      Was intending to use this guide:

      http://android.sc/how-to-root-the-galaxy-tab-2-7-0/

      So it's install CMW first, root phone, backup stock rom and then install Goo Manager to download/flash custom roms?

      Any advice is appreciated.
