QUOTE(ethantan @ May 18 2011, 03:45 PM) Which SenQ or shengheng got stock.. i stay in PJ area.... I bought it in Penang, RM 1588 with free case. Just bought it last Friday. The seller is on Lowyat forum as well.Added on May 18, 2011, 3:49 pmGuys, anyone bought the A500 from lowyat?? wha the best price?? and free gift?? Added on May 18, 2011, 3:51 pm Hi Ashe, So how how is the A500? the wifi connection alright?? how much you bought n which branch you got it from?? Thanks... Added on May 18, 2011, 4:00 pmJust called to Senheng, no stock yet... anyone can guide me which shop got the best price... thanks.... So far I am really happy with it. The wifi connection works well, although I think it's not as powerful as I'd like but good enough. The flexibility to attach microSD and USB is really why I bought it, not to mention 32gb is a lot for the price |

QUOTE(LiMcZ @ May 18 2011, 05:24 PM) I don't have a screen protector yet. To me the screen is acceptable, very responsive, not as bright as other tabs but the black levels are amazing.QUOTE(Hico @ May 18 2011, 05:51 PM) have you tested to attached a usb mouse, keyboard, pen drive or external hdd? any problem detecting them?? I have tested with a USB pen drive and 320gb 2.5" hdd.As long as you have a file reader app like Astro, no problem reading files. I only wish my maxis USB,modem would work but nit really a problem. This reply was typed using the iconia tab O:-) |

QUOTE(Hico @ May 18 2011, 10:27 PM) thats pretty cool..how abt the casing? issit the free case is the sleeve type? mind to show the photos of the case? I don't think charging thru the micro SD port is possible for now...Added on May 18, 2011, 10:29 pm It' just a simple sleeve, nothing special about it but it'll do till a proper case shows up :-) where do u play with transformer side by side with iconia??? but from youtube, the colour display from the transformer's screen seems more saturated..while iconia not as bright.. but many reviewer also stated iconia really solid and comfortable to hold... for the charger, can it be charge thru a micro usb port by using those micro usb charger?? another nice comparison btw iconia a500 with transformer.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMi8E5iFHCg |

QUOTE(LiMcZ @ May 19 2011, 12:33 AM) so any review from your point of view?? My POV is that it's excellent.worth the money o not? seen alot of review about the screen and the weight, but in some review stated that the screen is very good as well.. very confusing... You have to try it to see for yourself la. Like I said earlier, it works for me because I don't have to buy an additional dock etc just to get USB. The Battery life is also not bad. |

QUOTE(benny888 @ May 19 2011, 11:19 AM) Lord_Ashe : You couldn't get your USB modem to work ? It couldn't be detected or fail to connect ? I have read on other forums, the USB port is enabled for USB modem sticks The modem lit up, detected the HSDPA network, but not sure how to access the internet using my Maxis HSDPA modem. Can you point me to any hints? |

QUOTE(Sawamura @ May 19 2011, 02:17 PM) i cant understand why people really concern about iconia weight which is only slightly heavier than the rest, and it is hardly noticeable.. i used it for few hours, and feels no different with ipad or xoom in my hand.. Quoted for great truth screen brightness is fine. no issue at all. well, at least for me as i compare it with xoom, and find no significant different at all. unless you have a super glass eagle eye then only you can notice xoom is slightly brighter than iconia. for me i got no issue at all Take it this way.. if people say Xoom is iPad killer.. to me Iconia is Xoom killer.. hows that |

QUOTE(Sawamura @ May 19 2011, 03:05 PM) bought it from sengheng kota damansara also. from what they mention, not all sengheng branch is selling this. Mind pointing out where you got the case from? dont worry, if they dont have the stock, you can place your order and collect it few days later.. no, mine dont come with a free case.. other than the tab itself, you will get mini USB cable and charger.. i bought the case separately from online.. that cost me another few bucks.. Looking for something I can use without taking the tab outside the case |

QUOTE(Michelinconti @ May 19 2011, 03:45 PM) I tend to disagree. Reason being, iconia has 2 built in USB port, 1 full USB and 1 microusb. Iconia has a dedicated orientation lock hard button. Iconia has a protection cover for the microsd slot. Iconia has led flash for the camera. Transformer do not have all these. So in terms of hardware, Asus has less. I agree on all your points so don't understand why there's so much fascination with the Asus pad. It's as if the iconia isn't even a contender ...Added on May 19, 2011, 3:55 pm There's a few here but costs a 'few bucks' as quoted by our fellow forumer,hehe. PDAIR CASES But personally I prefer my gadgets to be nwked coz I enjoy the original design and feel of my stuffs. So what I usually do is laminate them at my usual lamination shop and use a sleeve or leather pouch. Having said that, the original Acer case that came with it is just perfect Btw have you laminated your iconia? |

QUOTE(Teng N @ May 20 2011, 10:51 PM) Same problem here, not sure if this is merely Iconia problem or honneycomb 3.01 ? I don't think this is an iconia or honeycomb issues. Recently Google has changed the way the Market works and how devs can sell their apps. If you check online other devices and phones are having this issue.Anyone rootef this n try if market enabler can resolve this? Or try. Applanet? Added on May 20, 2011, 11:03 pmI read honeycomb has very limited app support, maybe angry bird is one of them? P.s. I now notice some lag already, hope to get 3.1 update soon in june |
