I've heard that Thumb Keyboard (https://market.andro...boardplus&hl=en) is a 'must have' for any droid tablet. Only downside is that it's not free, and I don't have my unit yet so cannot confirm how well it works on the Aurora.

I've checked the status of my order today and it is showing as shipped and there's also a tracking no, still waiting for an email to give a little more details. :rolleyes: I don't really know if I should trust this or not? we'll see.

I managed to track my order on the web with china Airmail registered or something like that and all it says is "Departure From Outward Office Of Exchange" any ideas what this means? The retailer is merimobiles.com by the way. Did their on-line chat thing but they where sh*t, I'm starting to worry, I ordered my aurora on 21/1/12. :angry:

It means it is on its way, that is the main thing.

Could take a while to arrive but at least you know it is on the way!!
Thinking of buying from Chinagrabber?? THINK AGAIN

I wonder who could be voting down my posts so that I get a negative reputation ?

My order from Gadgetfreakz arrived yesterday.
I've had a couple of hours playing with it and am very impressed. The IPS screen is fab.
I have seen no quality problems as with some previous posts. The only sign that this was built to a price is the buttons rattle slightly. Overall a fantastic improvement from my Elonex tablet, and on that will make my Xoom owning friend envious.
The one item I don't like is the keyboard (no cursor keys). Can anyone suggest an alternative?


I've updated my previous post http://www.slatedroi...post__p__306896 with the final details.


Sent from my Aurora using Tapatalk


I was using this keyboard on my previous N7A : https://market.andro....swiftkey&hl=en
It's pretty good and has different color skins too. :) But you will have to buy it from market, unless you can find it uploaded somewhere as .apk while googling. ;)

So which sites are best to order from if I don't want to pay any VAT or customs tax?
I am living in UK by the way.
Oh and waiting time is not an issue for me. As long as the tablet works:)

Had a great experience with pandawill so far. First with the advanced which arrived in 10 days, and now with the Aurora. It was shipped on 17th Feb and I received it on 26th with registered shipping which is pretty fast. Have not tested the tablet yet but it was packaged well and both the box and the tablet well protected. Clear communication on email, and no issues, very professional.

Lucky you. I've ordered mine in January 21st, and no sign of shipping.
They answered all my e-mails, but always saying "will ship next week".

When I found a good retailer with an Aurora REALLY in stock, probably will cancel this order in Pandawill.

As I was about to leave the house this morning, I found a package behind the bin, it's pretty wet because it's been raining all night. I haven't opened it yet but I know it's my Aurora. I'll see when I get home tonight I'll find out if it came in one piece or not and I'll post my findings! Atleast it's here after a month of ordering but to be fair to merimobiles.com there was the delay because of the Chinese new year.

Thats exactly why I get any larger items delivered to my work address! Saves the hassle of having to got to the post office collection centre.(or finding stuff behind your bin :angry: )

Thanks,
I've downloaded swiftkey tablet x trial, and will see how it goes.
! Sumit, glad to hear your tablet is on it's way.

Thanks mate; getting eager to get my hands on it. Hopefully would be here in next week sometime. Then I will also write my feedback about build quality/screen issue if any (hope not) etc.

hard to tell, I think they just got "Joe Blogg" to deliver it. I suppose that's what you get when you opt for free shipping. I also didn't have to pay tax as well, must be a bonus right ? :rolleyes

I ordered from them on 21/1/12. But I kept going on line on the chat thing and questioning them, maybe that facilitated the delivery? I doubt it.
