Guest cybik Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Hey guys. I'm living in one of the last Great Britain territories outside the UK, namely Quebec (yeah, we didn't sign some papers, so technically we're still subjects of Her Majesty B)), and I am currently so jealous you guys have access to the Vega that I could burst - though I do burst into song oftentimes, but that isn't relevant... So my question is, simply, this: is there someone who'd be willing to buy one for me and ship it overseas? Irrelevant but funny Captcha: TOY XMAS ---------------- following redmongoose's initiative, if this thread breaks any rules, please obliterate it with the strongest click you can do.

Guest redmongoose Posted November 24, 2010 Report Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) I may be willing to offer an overseas service.

Guest rvdgeer Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I'm thinking about getting an Advent Vega, but not sure yet... :P While I make up my mind, I would like to sort out the possibilities for shipping one over here (The Netherlands)... Probably I need the help of one of you :D At first for some info, later on for buying me one and shipping it here... Can anyone tell me what it would cost to package and send a box of this size in a safe way to The Netherlands? What shipping method would you recommend?

Guest swarrans Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Can anyone tell me what it would cost to package and send a box of this size in a safe way to The Netherlands? What shipping method would you recommend? Lots of different options, but the cost would be about £25 I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest marmankites Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 We use Parcel Force and Fed-X at work, not sure about outside the EU but can easily ship to Spain/Netherlands/Portgual for £20-30 on a trackable signed for service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would go for a trackable, signed for service and £20-30 doesn't sound that bad... Still in doubt if I should go for it or not... Main reasons: - Will it be offered in the Netherlands any time soon? - Will the price drop (even more :P ) any time soon? - Will there be an even better tablet (3G, GPS, compass, etc.) available any time soon? Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bonuman Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Need to get this to the Netherlands! Who can help? I can pay via Paypal or bank wire. I would like to use a middleman for the payment, someone who's been on this forum for a long time and has a lot of posts. Maybe a mod is willing to do that? I'm sure I'm not the only one in need of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Asure Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Sorry to sound like the 'first poster me three!' type, but if anyone is willing and able to send to The Netherlands please contact me by PM. I'll pay you in advance by Paypal for all costs involved ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest warriorscot Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Wouldn't it be easier for you to track down a Mobii or even an Adam at this point, it was different last year when they were just out but its easier to get them or alternatives now.

Main reasons: - Will it be offered in the Netherlands any time soon? - Will the price drop (even more ;) ) any time soon? - Will there be an even better tablet (3G, GPS, compass, etc.) available any time soon? Hmmm... Id be happy to sort this out for you, mainly because of your already existing traffic on this website makes you trustworthy. Why get a vega though if you got a POV!? And the current arguments for getting a vega unlike any other advice is the all out support for it. What other device has market on it and just about every error covered!? Plus, with the posts you know about this device, getting another one would be like starting again. The question is, will you see this sort of hardware spec and software support for the next few months!? Doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Asure Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 @warriorscot: I agree, but the Vega is still the cheapest of the bunch, and has the features i need ;) @Touch Graphite: rvdgeer has one already i think. I resurrected an old post, sorry for that. (i preferred to create a new thread instead of clutter up Pauls forums.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Netherlands you can just buy a "point of view Mobii Tegra" which is hardware wise 100% the same device. I bought mine in Germany and I´m running the advent rom with Pauls MCR r6 + pp. And as "point of view" is Company from the Netherlands you should get it there easyly :D .

Guest thedicemaster Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 actually, not as easy now. i know of only 1 store selling the mobii tegra, and they closed about a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you confirm they are exactly the same? The POV Mobii does not list BlueTooth on the POV webpage and is about 50 euros more expensive than the Advent Vega. Here's a price comparison for the POV: http://tweakers.net/pricewatch/271149/poin...tablet-102.html pricing in the Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thedicemaster Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) the vega and tegra are both the same tablet(P10AN01) with 3 differences: different pre-installed rom different logo on the back of the tablet PoV version has a silver border like the iphone4, and i think the vega has a black one. EDIT: forgot 1: PoV version also comes with a sleeve. Edited February 1, 2011 by thedicemaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in spain they sell both but POV is 30 euros more expensive than vega. I wonder why. Got the Pov one and I can confirm it has BlueTooth. I'm on advent vega 1.06 ROm and modaco pack on a mobii device and works really well. ;) Edited February 1, 2011 by Melted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Asure Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) I wouldn't pay more for a device that is exactly the same, but is missing product features on the website. Feels a bit sloppy, even if they are all OEM'ing the stuff from Shuttle but hey, i'm a Dutch cheapskate ;) Good news though, i managed to convince a co-worker of its magical powers, so i'm sorted for now!

Guest expat2000 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 From the Netherlands or Spain it may be easier to hop on a Ryanair flight to Stansted and pick one up from the duty free Dixons. Got mine from there it was £212, day trip on Ryanair can be cheap, <£20 if you time it right. I am pretty sure you can reserve one in the Dixons store beforehand to make sure they have one. They have a direct dial number somewhere on the web. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest behnaam Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 I'm currently owning a Swedish webshop selling the POV Mobii Tegra (www.droidpads.se). 3G POV Mobii Tegra will be in 7/2 according to my sales rep. at POV. My main market is Sweden, but I wouldn't mind helping a few peeps out if they want it outside of the UK ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jorgar72 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hello. In Spain you can buy the Advent Vega tablet in PC City. You can buy online or go to your close shop. 3 weeks ago I bought one. You have 14 days to return the tablet and take your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
