[Q] Is it worth to buy Sony Tablet S right now? - Sony Tablet S

I have been meaning to wait for Xperia Tablet S 3G version to come out. But I'm tired of waiting, who knows when or even if it does come out at all in my country.
Not to mention the problem they're having right now. It can take ages to come out here.
Right now, there's only the Wifi version of Sony Tablet S that are available to buy. No 3G version. And the price for 16 GB one is about $480 if converted from my currency.
So I'm thinking of having Sony Tablet S 3G-16 GB version imported for about $570. What do you guys think?

I'd say no, the Sony Tablet S is totally different to the Xperia Tablet S - I felt that last years model was plasticy despite its good build quality and high price tag and the performance was poor.
Stick the wait out and you'll be sure to make the right choice.

absolutely not! other than the fact that tablet s (original one) hasn't that great build quality it has a lot of problem in term of modding.. i would go for a samsung tablet if you are interested in modding..

Id say yes! Is an excellent tablet.
The xperia tablet s production is stoped because a defect in the construction

Personally i think the Sony tablet s is better than the xperia tablet s.

Thanks for the feedbacks, I think I'll buy it anyway.
I wanted to buy a tablet for a really long time now, and I'm not really a patient person
And I prefer sony cause it's not common (maybe some of you find it strange, but I'm just quirky like that )

I'm also almost buy a Sony Tablet S... but I guess, the Xperia tablet is really better - in many ways... and probably worth waiting for...

Although I don't mind mine anymore, no way in hell would I recommend it to anyone for any reason and given the option, I'd swap it for another one without hesitation.

I agree that Xperia tablet is better than the original tablet S, but I really don't feel like waiting any longer.
From the looks of thing, it's most likely won't come out here until at least early 2013. Plus, there's no guarantee they will release the 3G version immediately. And having a wifi only tablet, here in my town, is just useless I think.
So, I'll just use STS now, and replace it with xperia tablet later when it comes out.

Remember the xts is being recalled

I got my girlfriend a Nexus 7, and although not quite as feature rich as the Tablet S, Root was so simple litterally a child could do it, it is soooooooooo much faster, and 16GB was plenty for her. 7 inch screen makes it sooooooooo much lighter/portable too. 32gb model will be out soon. Thinking of selling my Tablet S and get the 32GB Nexus 7 instead. I have litterally tried for weeks to get my Tablet S rooted and hate the propriotory connector, etc.
My 2 cents worth.

Who is buying the Asus Transformer Prime? Off topic

Is anyone else excited about the transformer prime releasing on dec 8th. The specs are amazing. Just wanted to get your input on this tablet as I am looking into buying it when it releases. How good do u all think development will be? Thanks for responding.
Sent my from IPad!
Yes, no question.
Love the keyboard add-on too.
I really wish they would be smart about the price and go lower than $499.99 though.
seriously considering it. had an ipad2 but sold it once the et4g came out. the transformer prime looks RIDICULOUS
I love my transformer 1 but the prime is everything I wished the TF1 was especially than it's thinner and lighter than the ipad 2, thinner but just a hair heavier than the galaxy tab 10.1. I most likely wont be able to get it for myself until january. Then I plan on buying the tablet first, selling my tf 1 and dock, then buying the dock
Nuff nuff gonna sell my hp touchpad to cover part of the prime

I'm with you guys. It is gonna be great. His was the first transformer prime? Is Dec 8th the actual release date?
Yes Matty the keyboard looks so cool. I'm selling my Ipad for this beast.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
It does have nice specs, and it's thin and all that, but I have some reservations. First, it's expensive, especially if you get the keyboard. The quad-core(actually 5 core) Tegra chip sounds good, but until apps are written to specifically take advantage of it, the speed increase won't be as great as it could be. I would have preferred a screen with better than 1280x800, and lived with a dual-core processor.
Foo shooo... Got my pre order in from newegg. My first tablet!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I won't buy until it has a USB port ON THE TABLET. Bummer because it's close to perfect otherwise.
Better resolution would have been nice.
I'll wait for Samsung to release their next tablet before ever going with an Asus tablet again. I went through 4 TFs before giving up and jumping to the GT10.1. Haven't looked back since. The TF had one of the worst build quality I have seen on an electronic device.
hopefully early next year, so far its the only tablet I've had any interest in.

I have the og transformer, and really want to get the new one, but I can't really justify spending all that money on my college student budget when my og does most of the same. The transformer is an awesome tablet though. For anyone who doesn't have one already I recommend it.
It is especially great for college students who need a proper keyboard to take notes on in class and need the extra battery life so they can stay on campus all day and not worry about getting the coveted spots with outlets to study at.
Maybe if I can sell my og with keyboard for around 400 then I can upgrade.
Sent from my Galaxy S2
I'm probably going to do it. I've been holding off on a tablet for years now, and at this point I feel one such as the Prime is more than powerful enough to last me through several years of tantalizing new chipsets. I still use a 1.6ghz dual core laptop from '06. ;-)
I personally don't see the use for tablets if you a Smartphone and a laptop.... tablets don't make calls and can't do a lot of what a laptop can do but to each his/her own. I personally won't be buying one, instead I will wait for quad core phones to hit and then cough up the 500 to upgrade early from my magnificent ET.
I probably won't be picking it up as I have the original TF and dock and hardly get any use out of it to begin with. Shame because the Prime looks amazing. I think a full blown laptop would have better suited my needs.

Anyone Moving from Table S to Nexus 7?

I'm seriously thinking about moving from the Tablet S to the Nexus 7. The biggest factor influencing me is the ability to keep my software more up-to-date, both through being in the Nexus family and through a more active development community. Android is developing its software so quickly right now (we just got ICS, and JB is already on several devices), and devices will be falling off the map pretty quickly. Having a Nexus device seems like the best way to protect against this.
I'm a little worried about losing the 2" of screen real estate. While the size and weight of the Tablet S make it a little awkward for reading on a plane, it does make for an outstanding movie player. I do think the IR remote is a very good idea, but the reality is that I almost never use it. Even when I have my tablet in my hand, out of habit, I pick up the remote to change channels or adjust the volume. Losing the SD card concerns me a little too, but the cloud services have come a long way, and I'm not sure it's necessary. What else might I lose if I make the switch?
I think I'm going to pick up a Nexus 7, compare the two for a few days, and make a decision at that point. But I'd love to hear from the community about this as well. Anyone else thinking about making this move? When thoughts have you had about the decision? What factors are influencing your choice to stay or go?
EDIT: stupid auto-correct still doesn't like "tablet"
Yep, I'm planning on making this move. The lack of root and an unlocked bootloader has made the Tablet S really unattractive next to a $200 pure Google tablet that will surely have a large dev community behind it. I don't mind the smaller screen, personally. The only thing I think I'd really miss is the native PS3 controller support, which makes playing emulated games on it an ease.

I'll be moving over from the Sony Tablet S to Nexus 7. I hate this tablet, not many devs have taken it onboard to customize it and hack the device. The Nexus 7 should be alot more dev friendly
I'm also thinking about replacing my Tablet S by a Nexus 7 one...
I've spent a lot of time analyzing the works of great developers in order to find a way to gain root on the Tablet S, trying several exploits, mixing tricks used for other devices in hope of discovering something working and have certainly learned a lot of things by doing that but every game becomes boring if you always lose...
Well, it will be no game at all if the Nexus 7 is built like the Galaxy Nexus phone where "fastboot OEM unlock" is enough to unlock the bootloader but it will make myself spend time using my tablet rather than unsuccessfuly try to root it!
PS
Yes, some people -like me- feel sick holding an unrooted android device in their hands. There is no explanation for this, it 's certainly stupid but that's the way it goes. Must be genetic
I called the Staples down the street from my office today to see if they had any N7s. Rep said they had four that just came off a truck. I went and grabbed one.
I'm just starting to play around with it. My initial reactions are: 1) the build quality feels amazing, and 2) it freaking flies.
Honestly, if I don't find a legitimate deal-breaker, this thing probably has a permanent home.
Another huge perk that I've not seen mentioned yet--while being so basic--is the ability to charge with micro USB. That damn Sony charger really limits how mobile the Tablet S truly is.

Two questions, if you please :
- does the Nexus 7 offer SD card support?
- have you try booting into fastboot mode and try the "fastboot OEM unlock" command (there should be a confirmation box allowing to leave without doing it)?

No SD card support, which is a slight concern. I have a 64 gb card in my Tablet S. Naturally, I chose the 16 over the 8 gb N7. With Google Play, though, I really shouldn't need to much space.
There is a toolkit for unlocking the bootloader, if that's what you're asking. I'll give it a try when I get home tonight. I don't see any options for unlocking directly from fastboot.

Anyone considering buying Nexus 4?

The Nexus 4's pricing has totally blown me away.. 300$ and 350$ for 8gb and 16gb respectively!
So, just out of curiosity I wanted to ask that is anyone up for buying this device?
Considering the high specs of this device and at such a pricing sounds a pretty good deal!
I will be buying it when it launches here in India?

I for one have already decided to buy the Nexus 4, it's crazy cheap and the hardware is amazing.
I used to be a Sony fan as well, but after seeing some of the reviews of the Xperia T (and the practically non-existant and extremely overpriced Xperia V) I don't think staying Sony would be a good idea for me.
Besides, carrier subsidies here in Colombia are probably the worst in the world (phone prices get inflated to almost double) and the so called "subsidy" doesn't get higher than 10% of the phone's unlocked price.
Yes after reading some previews about the new nexus 4 my feelings get more and more stronger buying this phone.
Fabtatic hardware and specs and no more thinking about getting next android update.
The price is fantastic.

Next Phone?

I just sold my S3, what phone do you suggest? I was thinking of the Xperia T, but the S4 chip doesn't seem too great and I don't like the design, they don't sell the Nexus 4 here, the Note 2 looks good but it's too similar to the S3, the OneX+ seems to have bad battery life.

Everyone will have their own opinions and reasons. Only you can decide, so do just that.
The post has no real relevance here either, just try the XDA generic Android forums for a broader view than S3 users.
The S4 chip is awesome and way better than crapsynos 4, plus you get the benefit of a fully or next to almost full working CM10.1 experience. So go with an Xperia T.
Seeing as you are so picky, I would suggest the Nokia 1100. Maintenance free, loooooooong battery life.
But seriously, I would wait till the Xperia Z is released. Or S4.
Good luck with choosing a phone.

I could get the Asus Padfone 2 for the same price as the Note 2, but without the tablet. It looks nice, but not many people have it!

I would pre-order Sony Xperia Z . It looks very good and premium, hardware is very good and Sony care about dev community.

Main reason why I will most probably get Xperia Z is that Sony cares about dev community and provides needed sources. Also hardware is top and design very nice and premium, without cheap materials.
For me it is time to try other brands.
Right now i would like Sony Xperia Z.
If you can afford it just wait a month or so and get it, i'am sure you won't regret that decision.

I kinda regret it now. When buying, i was enticed by the specs and i thought: "this phine is awesome! No regrets buying it! Better than my laggy neo v!" now, the battery life is not good, its lagging now on jb moonbreaker 3.5. Kinda regret not choosing something better. Although we have awesome devs (thanks! ), i feel that the phone is a bit too overpriced for the specs, and taking on account that we don't have official support from roms like CyanogenMod, SlimBean, Paranoid Android etc. Just wanna hear your views here.

Why did I buy:banghead::banghead::banghead:

When i bought this phone - I wanted one with a screen size around 4-4.3 inches.
I narrowed it down to the Xperia S, Xperia P & the HTC One S.
I played around with all three and narrowed it down to the Xperia P. The price difference for the Xperia S & the One S was too much to justify.
Although i expected more official CyanogenMod support - I understand the lack of NovaThor support is what's the reason behind it.
With CM10.1 by @percy_g2 - the phone finally runs as i expected it to - smooth as butter.
I'm perfectly good with the phone and don't see any need to upgrade either - so long as percy fixes Bluetooth
The battery seems to be the one crippling factor for this phone though - I have made a habit to keep a charger handy and I do get 3-4 hours of screen on time which isn't shabby at all.
Cheers,

Yeah sort of, the battery life is worse than I thought and the white magic isn't that special... next time i go Samsung or Nexus
i regret spending €140 on a phone that wont be provided with JB by Sony
Don't regret , in some time we will have a blast in dev selection with new roms , i just need build server access from xda .I have applied and waiting.
Development these days needs lots of bandwidth with good speed which i don't have .
Build server will help in fast development and more things will come :angel: .
I'm so poor Need a little high end with cheap so I got this Xperia U I'm regret but this is what I deserves :crying:

yes as i have it to april 2014 on contract with locked boot loader so i cant go higher than ics what hasn't been updated in months
Regret, and the main reason are locked bootloaders;( The 2nd one is that it has novathor chipset

No regret at all, 100 pounds for completely new Xperia U is very good. Batterry life is good - 2 days with moderate use.

Locker bootloader? Lol, just unlock it! It's so easy!
No regret for buying Xperia U, Its runs great on gingerbread! On ICS its OK......
No regrets. I bought my Xperia U on day one for 199 euros, it was a best buy... Really GREAT performance on GB, worse on ICS, even a lot BETTER on JB (thank you kontini... You saved my phone!). Really sad the missed update to jb, sony is really bad to this... But i'll buy another sony because of fantastic design, and xperia are really easy moddable.
My next phone will be Sony Xperia Z, probably on november. I hope xD
Having mixed feelings about this phone, better rom support (=>availability of novathor sources) would have been nice.
But with cm10.1 it is a lot smoother than it used to be and battery life also has been a lot worse with stock.
I like the phones screen, I hate white magic, camera is decent, performance is not ideal.
This phone isn't bad, but could have been a lot better.
I don't regret buying this phone: The price wasn't bad and I won't make the same mistakes again.

I think that he meant he has a "unlock allowed = no" phone.
Coming from a Galaxy Ace-i, I'm completely satisfied Bought my white XU in February at €169, it was on sale, I hope it'll last a lot because I love it, the only "cons" are the quite small screen and the RAM problems on JB, but it's a great phone! Sony totally captured me, my next phone will be another Xperia :3
My classmate always tells me that my phone looks like a toy phone conpared to his Galaxy S4, but I reply that, at least, mine doesn't look like a plastic frying pan
I love my XU
