Nick H. Supervisor Posted November 19, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted November 19, 2014 I saw this OS on a friend's phone a few weeks ago. I was impressed, although it does take some practice getting used to the new gestures and layout. They mention on the crowdfunding page that it's available for Switzerland...I am very tempted, I've been thinking about getting a tablet recently despite having said that I don't need one.

Did you consider the new Nokia ? Looks good and the price is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted November 19, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted November 19, 2014 Did you consider the new Nokia ? Looks good and the price is right.The N1? I've just taken a look at it and it seems pretty slick, but I've got to find a reason to own a tablet first, then I'll start looking around. For all I know that could be summer next year, so they'll be plenty of other things coming out during that time (I assume.) I think for this it was more the reason that they included Switzerland as a destination that made me think, "hmm, should I? Shouldn't I?" Of course other tablets are available in Switzerland, it's just nice to see us get some recognition now and again. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerino Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Im amazed that crowdsourcing for it has gone so well, being that there are SOOOO many sub $100 tablets out there, some good, some crap, but still lots of other options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupik Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm sorry, but starting from 189usd price tag is just not worth it in my opinion. Bought Cube Talk 9x for 180usd not that long ago and comparing the specs, I'd still go for Cube Talk 9x.

Would be better off having the Google Android for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
