Hello guys,
can you please recommend me an android box for approximately $100 (no more). What I would like is nice hardware and if possible some manufacturer updates and good community support.
Here are a few options I noticed:
geekbuying.com/item/T-R42-Quad-Core-Google-Android-4-2-2-RK3188-28nm-Cortex-A9-1-6-GHz-Mini-TV-BOX-HDMI-HDD-Player-2G-8G-BT-RJ45-External-Wifi-Antenna-with-IR-Remote-Controller-Black-317424.html" - T-R42 - $93
.geekbuying.com/item/NEO-X7-EU-Plug-TV-BOX-RK3188-2G-16G-BT-External-wifi-antenna-317282.html" - Neo7 - $138
cozyswan.com/test/cozyswan-2gb-ram-mk809iii-s400-rk3188-android-4-2-cortex-a9-quad-core-mini-pc.html" - MK809iii - $100
geekbuying.com/item/Tronsmart-MK908-Google-Android-4-1-Mini-PC-TV-Box-RK3188-Quad-Core-2G-8G-BT-Black-315155.html" - MK908 - $65
All of them seems to be with the Cortex A9 Rk3188 Quad Core CPU ,Quad Core Mali 400 GPU and 2GB DDR3 RAM, so I see no reason for the competely diffferent prices. Is there is something I am missing, if not I think the MK908 would be the best chose.
Still which one you think have the best community support? How about hardware, am I right?
Thanks
I've just ordered a MK908 with a free air remote. Surely you can't go wrong for AU$31!

Good deal. Other suggestions?

Based on what? He's been selling other items cheap and consistently receiving good feedback. These are an old model now so it may be run out stock. I've ordered with pat later so there's no risk to me.

Is it version 1.0 or version 3.0? If it's version 3 then it's pretty much useless because version 3.0 has only one wifi antenna and it has the worst signal ever

Version 3.0 says "Dual wifi antenna too" but in reality it only has one and it's crappy
Damit. So how can you tell which version this is?
If your budget is truly $100 I recommend a Quadcore TV stick. If you search on YouTube for SomeCoolTech he has reviews on several different tv sticks. I personally use a Minix Neo G4 and a Neo X5 both are dual core and both run FABULOUS!!

I just took a chance and ordered that too. The seller has a lot of prices that are well below market rates, but maybe they are just trying for a quick turnaround. I guess we'll all find out soon.

Thank you. I've just bought one.. For that price it was hard to say not. A bit suspicious though, if this is true. Anyone of you received it yet?
Also there is this http://www.ebay.com/itm/310749227410?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
Just wondering, if they are scammers and we pay with paypal. Do we get our money back?

People say do not lose it, even Samsung says the same thing.
As long as it is attached to the charging cable I am not sure how I can lose it.
I just worry about it breaking attaching and removing it.
Replacement Adapters?

Yeah I'm not sure how people can lose it. It's attached really tight to the cable itself. Now that I have said this, I'm pretty sure this thing is going to go missing in the next few days.
I already lost it and that ebay link doesn´t work, it´s not available already. Where can I find a cheap one?

$40 WOW i bought 2 for my original Gear for $25 total for both. i will wait until they have some competition on pricing
Those are so expensive, becouse they are first one in the market. As soon as Samsung release all colors I think the price should drop to 15-20$ and i hope that some 3rd party bands show up in ebay.

I can get it locally for USD 128 new in hong kong, it's nothing surprising as the gear 2, neo and fit has been released, they need to get rid of the old stock, if it was water resistant it would of been a good accessory.
I got it for 80$ in ny

Yeah, I've been holding out until the Android Wear watches come out, but I've wondered how a wearable would be for a while. I'll just wait out the LG/Moto watches then. Can't be that far away.
Few days ago in France, the first Galaxy Gear was available for only 1€ in lot of stores : you paid 101 €, and you got 100 € refund by Samsung.
I really think this device does not deserve to be paid more. I prefer my Pebble Steel from any point of view.
Got one in a McDonald's happy meal. Lol
If they get cheap enough, I'm sure you could use it for something other than a watch. I'd strap one on my steering wheel for music control.
Not that it's cheap, but I had to post this link because this thing looks awesome!

It's not. It says that's just to show the phone off.
I went to my local T-Mobile store to buy a spare phone for work.
The Manger was there and saw my Ultra.
He told me he recently met with Sony representatives and said they're getting the second generation ultra.
He said it has the same omnibalance design but features a 6.2 inch display.
I thought he might have been talking about the t2 ultra but said it wasn't that one.
He said it's coming in a couple months.
What do you guys think? Maybe you should ask your local T-Mobile stores.
Doomlord said there wasn't going to be a new one. Not sure how that manager met with anyone important at Sony but might of well just wait and see what Sony does instead of speculating and jumping the gun.

Just reporting, I'm guessing they meet with Sony representatives to see how sales are going and to inform them of product changes just like all stores do with other brand representatives.
I'll ask around other stores in my area and see if anything coincides.

The thin structure which actually causes it's downfall later on? Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my phone. It's the longest I've keep any single smartphone! However having to take it out of pocket before sitting down(because I wasn't doing that before), because now if it gets pressure a certain way while playing music on the speaker; audio cuts out. I have to constantly bend it back to try and maintain a straight phone.
Just wish it was slightly thicker which would have made it a bit more sturdy.

I... didn't think you'd know them. If those are real, I'm in love, though I wish the screen was the same size (Or a bit bigger).
Jdi who's partially owned by Sony developed a 6.2 inch 1440p display.
Maybe that's the display being used.
