Where to buy ? - Vega General

Hi !
I want an Advent Vega but I don't know where to buy it and I live in France ? :/
I saw it on pcworld.co.uk but they don't deliver to France.
Do you know a website which deliver to France ?

As far as i am aware the advent vega is not available in france. Try looking for a pov mobii, it has the same hardware as the vega, with the option for 3G.
Take it easy

Try to search on google: "site:.fr point of view mobii tegra"
Which gives you french results for this tablet, like this one: Idealo.fr

Thnaks you both of you, I am gonna try this

Unfortunately you won't be able to do this very easily as Windows Mobile cannot just switch languages. You'll have to install an English ROM, which needs a pretty high level of technical skill (and I don't think the tools to do this are available yet).
Where in Taiwan are you planning to buy it? If it's from somewhere in Taipei's Guang Hua computer market, they *might* be able to install an english ROM for you, but it may also be too early for them to have the tools to do this yet.
Another option is if you happen to be going to Hong Kong, you can get the Touch HD in the Sincere Podium mobile phone market at Mong Kok, but they aren't particularly cheap (because they are all imported from Europe). The price will come down when the HD is officially launched in HK.

Hate myself for asking but - should i buy?

Hey guys, like i said in in the title (and having been on xda for a while) I hate myself for posting a "should i buy" thread, but i think i must have missed something.
As far as i see it the vega has pretty much the same spec as tablets double its price (thinking xoom / eee transforma) and yet the only difference i can see is the shipped android version and 1.2ghs processor vs 1.0ghz in the vega.
I have a HD2 and am happy flashing and running custom roms (running Android on my HD2) so as far as I see it i can get honeycomb flashed in the not too distant future when the boys finish the ROM build and just overclock to 1.4ghz and I am away.
And here in lies my question really, is the touchscreen nice to use? Whats the viewing angle like? HDMI out actually any good in the real world? Anyone use the tablet for work and not just media?
I would like to be able to use an openoffice / MS application on my tablet and if i could connect it up to projectors/tvs via hdmi for presentations and media that would be a real bonus - but only if it actually looks decent and works well.
Thanks for the time taken to read this, I am serious about buying but dont want to waste cash on the vega if people think the eee transforma would be more suitable.
Thanks;
Andy

There is no OO (or LibreOffice or MS office) at all/ There is Google Docs and Pixel Office
Thanks for such a quick reply. Google docs is fine i think but does it work offline on the tablet ok? Whats pixcel office like?
Battery life about as advertised (8hours)
Sorry for rippling questions in, i guess im just trying to work out what i would get extra for over twice the cash in a xoom / eee.
The key difference in price seems to be tied to screen quality and what the big names think they can get away with charging. Clearly the Motorola has a much better screen display than the Vega. However, for the price, the Vega is great for trying things out. There are a number of different user ROM's available and you can see how to push the technology without worrying about messing up your 'expensive' tablet. Also the Vega is UNBRICKABLE.
I use QuickOffice HD on the Vega and find it able to cope with MS Office 2010 Docs and Spreadsheets with no major issues.
I usee quickoffice works a treat also corvus and newbe5 have created a honeycomb port which is still in progress but something to look towards to if you buy one
Thanks for the answers guys. Im actually in a position to buy one vat free at the moment so with the latest dixons price thats £160 for a 10in tablet. Im kind of finding it hard to tell myself the xoom screen would be worth the extra £300 but you guys have the advent what do you think?
Also, whats the max internal storage i can get 16gb microsd? Will USB thumb drives autmount when inserted?
And can you charge the advent via usb?
(I should say im out of the uk at the moment hence why i cant see the advent but can get vat free - gives with one hand..)
Thanks
I have an old-batch Vega, with a worse screen, and I'm not unhappy with it (it can be testy, but it works). The new batch has better screens, more responsive, so the main qualm against the device is partially deflected. For 160 punds you cannot go wrong: it's a super-budget price for a quite capable tablet. Right now there are new smartphones which are not up to the horsepower of an Advent Vega. And if you overclock it... oh boy. 1,4 Ghz at your service. Believe me, the Advent Vega is a steal.
I am running with a 32GB Micro SDHC which I think is the max it can take. You need to get the system into USB Host mode, which needs some changes either to the stock rom, or use one of the very good alternate roms, if you want to plug a USB Stick onto it, but you shouldn't have the need.
I don't think the Xoom is worth the extra at the moment while I am still assessing whether the tablet is an indispensable device for daily use. I do use the Vega daily though and find the screen fine if a little tight on brightness and viewing angle.
There is an over-clock kernel available here now that also gets the Vega to out-perform the Xoom.
32gb would be perfect - and im pretty much mind made up.
Custom ROM
32GB Micro
Overclock to 1.2 as a starter for 10
Android 3 when the boys get round to finishing it.
Thanks for all of your help / comments
I´m sorry to borrow your topic but I´m also considering buying this device (or POV Mobii since they pretty much share the same hardware) and no doubt that all this replies help make me rest assured that this is the best low budget tablet around, however I just cannot find a way to order this to Portugal.
I tried Amazon (only shows POV Mobii and for 280 pounds (!) which makes me feel like i´m being robbed) Ebay and other known on-line shops to no success.
Can anyone tell me where can I order this device (and identical ones as told before) on-line within EU? The ones I come across with at Ebay are from UK and none of them ship to Portugal, which is a shame.
Although I have the possibility I refuse to pay 500€+ for a device that otherwise would cost half if there was none of this tablet hype thingy messing with the markets (Shame on you Mr. Jobs).
Any help is appreciated guys.
Thank you,
Mix
Hi Badmix.
You can try to order the PoV Mobii Tegra from Amazon.de .. I don't know about the shipping to Portugal, but the Price in DE is 280€. Just try it if the price is ok for you
best regards
£160 !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
JUST BUY it... just buy it now... don't waste the chance!!!
It's an absolutely steal!!!
32Gb - no problem (I have 16gb and don't use it all)
overclock? - Corvus 1.5Ghz done.
USB drive, mouse n keyboard? - custom kernel (needs reboot) or use the dock station (as I do)

If you are still unclear, Advent are a firm under the Currys/PCWorld brand and only operate in the UK.
If you can find someone who is willing to buy for you (for a 'fee' maybe), then that is prob the best way to go.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the helpful replies.
I just ordered from a German shop the POV Mobii Tegra for 236£ (270€) and I am pretty sure that I could not have done a better deal for the amount of money i was willing to spend.
Next step: buying a decent case to give my new investment the biggest life spawn possible.
Cheers guys once again.

Anyone know where to get this less then £200 in the UK
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Ebay have a fair few if you want nearly new.
Other than that dixons group have the monopoly on this item sadly.
Okay thanks, another question that is keeping me from buying this is that I'm wondering whether the Vega has multitouch problems like the desire and nexus one, also has anyone played games like Nova and how does it run and is it playable with the multitouch.

Is there a way to tell whether a Vega is of the old or the new batch with the nicer screen?
Asking because there is a used one that I am considering.
Thank you!

is this the advent vega

Hi i was just wondering if someone could confirm if this pad is the advent vega rebadged as i want to use cyanogenmod with it. cheers
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/b...+10s+10+Inch+Camera+Android+Tablet+PC+VPAD10S
That is the same spec as the vega. You should have no problems running the rom you want.
Peace.
Like original_ganjaman said.
You can install CyanogenMod without problems on this tablet as it's the same as Advent Vega.
Thanks Guys cant wait to get it. seems the cheapest nvidia powered honeycomb capable tablet by about 150 dollars that i can find.

Buying Vega?

Hello there, I was wanting to buy a Advent Vega for my son for christmas. He wants a good tablet with at least a 1 ghz processor and good for rooting. I seen that this tablet has android honeycomb available for it and that's always good! So i've ran into one problem: I can't find it ANYWHERE. So is there any websites that will ship the vega to me? I'm really desperate as Christmas is around the corner.
It might be useful to have an idea of where in the world you are. The Vega is UK specific, but it is just one of a number of variants of a standard device with alternatives available in different countries.
This thread will help you find the same device as Vega:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351118
very very interested in getting a Vega myself.
I missed the deal yesterday to pick one up for £150..
hoping something similiar will come up soon!
I live in the U.S
I see that ViewSonic has headquerters in USA.
You could try that clone of Vega.
ViewSonic ViewPad 10s
Now you just need to find a local reatailer or something online.
But remember that you need to find 10S and NOT 10 (dual-boot version) or gTablet!
Amazon.com return 0 results!
Good luck!
