I'm in search for a good Tablet around 10k
i know this is the format for mobile buying advice, but i thought it would be better.

just a good reliable brand with good ASS

the best i can get in the budget

7. Preferred operating system? (Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows Phone etc).

8. Preferred connectivity options (3G, Wifi etc)Please specify clearly.
yup 3g is wanted (without dongle)

some apps from Google Play (no gaming)

10. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, mails, internet, gaming etc)?

@shrey : are you the admin of the G+ community ??



yup.. FK is always overpriced but good for those who want their stuff delivered fast and secure..

anything else from Sammy ??
i mean asus's gonna launch padfone.. how's that gonna be ? i read in Graffiti that its gonna be around 16 k .. is it really that ???

and no other tabs from other reputed Manufacturer's ??
just for remembering ..blacklisted : Micromax, Lava , and the like..

311 doesn't have a sim slot,310 has simslot and is around 15k in flipkart.

oh.. missed that .. huh!! ..

and what about HCL ?? those guys have good tabs dont they ??

anyways, why is it a private community ??? just curious.. :p

That's the WiFi model. The 3G model is more expensive. *www.flipkart.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-p3100/p/itmdg42uz9psxzyh

Heard that HCL tabs are not compatible with Play store. Dont know for sure. Be sure to check before buying HCL.

nice find mastercool. Just searched in that page for "HCL" and the only result was HCL ME TABLET PC U2. But do check with the the model number of the tab as some are just listed by the model numbers.

not sure if its my find. (using that page since years, forgot :p )

and yes, search by model numbers, though i'm thinking of Samsung one.
since Google seems to have no plans of launching Nexus 7 II anytime soon (I'm afraid it'll miss India as N10 did :( )
