Guys I am planning to buy an Android tablet from US.

I've zeroed in on Amazon Kindle Fire which available for 185 USD and Lenovo K1 for 299 USD. Both are offer prices. Which one should i go for?

The former does not have honeycomb, GPS and 3G. All these are available in Lenovo K1. In case i buy Lenovo, ll i be able to buy warranty seperately here in India. Also is it possible to get Kindle Fire serviced here if need arises? The offer closes on 12th Dec.

Or should I wait for Christmas sale? Ll there be better offers then?

I know there are lot of questions here. Pls be patient and answer them. I'm really confused. Thank u all in advance:)

The best android tab according to me is Samsung 750(10.1").But it will cost you more than the tablets you mentioned above.

Naturally that would be my choice too. But, sadly, i can't stretch my budget beyond 15k :-(

Is it better than Lenovo? Also should i wait for Christmas sale to begin?
Don't know about Lenovo's tablet. Nook tablet is your best bet for tablets under $300.

And yes, you should wait for Christmas sales.

Hmmm. Is Nook tab serviceable here in India?
