I just thought I'll search it in Chinese Simplified & found more info than I could in English.

Dissembly of Aurora & pics of it from all angles. :)

http://padhz.com/ain...guangchaji.html


I found some videos reviews on Youku (Chinese Youtube) and what I noticed is that none of these reviews have that laggy/ not smooth feeling which we all may have noticed on youtube videos posted by AndroidSale. Also, one member just got Novo Elf (I don't know though from which seller). I get a feeling from this as if only defective pieces are being sent outside China...lol...it might be an absurd thing to say, but I just felt like sharing it. :D I mean all 3 videos have pretty smooth tablets, but the ones we see on youtube are all having some or some flaw. : ))

Anyways, enjoy the videos if u can bear slow loading of youku.

I live in Shenzhen, China which is just north of Hong Kong. SZ is where the Ainol
is made. I just got back from picking one up in the electronics market here. A little
hard to find but found a shop with some girls in it the spoke English and they went and
found me one. Price was 799 RMB which works out to $126 USD. To tell the truth for many
things here there are 2 different levels but the good stuff is shipped out of the county
and the lessor quality stays in the country. Also most of the times electronics cost more
here than in the US for the same thing.
Anyway charging now and starting to play :)

Yeah, On Taobao.com aswell, they're selling it for 790 yuan (125$) to 825 yuan (130$) which is quite cheap as compared to Pandawill being cheapest at moment with 155$.
It would be good if you could post a video review in English.
Also, can you just tell me something about the screen ? When you open games,do you feel games have pixelated display or poor quality display and not as smooth as u see on samsung galaxy or iphone ? :)

If possible, can some members who have already bought/ordered Aurora post the link to the website they bought it from and for how much ? This will help many others to find a good bargain. :)

Aurora is available in black or white, and for an extra $20 16GB.

Ordered from Pandawill. Use code pw1234 for 8% discount. Paid 154.55 US after discount

But Pandawill will be shipping after their New Year holidays are over which is supposed to be by end of this month. I saw on their facebook page that they got Black Aurora today itself and I wrote too in comment if they will ship before their holidays or afterwards, but no confirmation yet.

I chatted with Pandawill this morning and they said they'll not likely be able to ship before the CNY.

Yep, I just chatted with them. Got to say horrible chat experience. It's like I'm repeating same stuff with no answer to my avail. :D I think I'll just try to have patience. By end of the month after CNY, we will have many more sellers on DHGate or Aliexpress etc. & hopefully for lower price than Pandawill.

Hard to pick one up here in China too as everyone going home for NY. I just spent
the day walking the stores and booths and came across one shop where the girl was
asking what I want as they did not have this brand on display. She understood me
enough and took off and was back in 5 mins with what I wanted and at the price I could
get from Taobao(chinese ebay) Right now can't get anything out of Taobao as this whole
country pretty much shuts down this time of year. Must say the 2 girls were great help
and new their products(most of the time the sellers are clueless here about anything new)
Also had iPhone 4 and 4s for about $75 and $125 each (don't you just love the chinese will
copy anything) :) :rolleyes:

They have now shipped it - got in in time before CNY.

Happy with the price and service from Ownta.com so far!

Hi all,

I ordered a Aurora 16GB from Ownta.com (190$) and they shipped it yesterday by EMS (I've to wait 5/8 days).

Now the 16GB model is sold out and they will be shipping after the CNY.

Hi all,

I´m definitely very interested on the new Novo7 Aurora. I was about to buy an Advance 7 but as u know is not on sale anymore. So the Aurora is the best pick considering price/specs.

The thing is, does anyone know about the aspect ratio. All I´ve read so far is confusing. Somewhere (i don´t recall where)I read it has a 4:3 aspect ratio screen, although in some other sites/reviews it´s mentioned it´s a 16:9 ratio.

The ratio looks different the on my MIDV7, at least for what I see on the video reviews. Could it be that it´s a 16:10 screen? I´ve done my own calculations here : www.tvcalculator.com , and while a 4:3 ratio seems too different, the 16:10 seems different enough to cause that impression to me.... :mellow:

Or am I just going mad. :D

"Pandawill.com Hell all. We don't have any Aurora and Elf in our warehouse now, all have been ordered. We'll ship those orders before 20th, and the rest will be shipped after 30th. Aurora video is processing to Youtube now and no tablets support compass functions, sorry for that. :)"

That was on their facebook page.

I just noticed they wrote "hell all." It was just funny in my opinion. :)

I got my Novo 7 Advanced from them. They shipped out the same day I ordered. They were nice and friendly. No problems with them at all.

Yeah, I've noticed the same and not in just one post but in many more actually..lol

About spemall, I tried to find some discount codes, but couldn't find anything. Their price is quite high. $188 for Bulgaria.
I think once CNY is over, there will be some big stores on Aliexpress such as Eternal Team shipping Aurora for $150-155.
Pandawill's pw1234 code also expired today. I should have bought then only. If I ordered 2 days ago without waiting for video reviews, then I would be having Aurora on its way. :(

Is Pandawill currently the cheapest place to buy the Aurora from? With their discount code it comes to $157.99.

I'm looking for somewhere that will offer the Aurora and shipping via DHL. The shipping total at Pandawill is $175.40.

Having seen quite a few reviews about Pandawill, I think I'll avoid buying from there.

Any better alternatives that are good on service and price?

I have used Merimobiles a few times. Not rock bottom prices, but reasonable. They have been a good vendor for me.
