Can anyone recommend a 3G capable tablet for under £200 that is larger than 8 inches. The best i've found is the Motorola Xoom 10.1 which has been £200 recently. (usually £249).

Can anyone tell me if there are others as i can not find a single tablet under £200 with 3G with the screen larger than 7 inches.

Archos do a few, but you also need to buy the dongle which will probably take it over the 200 mark

Xoom 10.1 3G for £200? Are you sure?

why not buy a wifi one and tether to your phone ? saves on two sets of monthly 3G charges .....

The OP might be considering one of these new phone company plans where you get credit / Internet for watching short adverts. I was considering doing this, but by also getting a 'MiFi' so I could use my wifi only tablet for Internet out and about.

Thanks for the replies guys.

@ Roush, yeh, some retailer was selling it for £200 down from £250 last week. Stopped now though i think.

Just to let people know the tablet is actually for a guy i work with. He gets a free 3G data card with about 10GB pre loaded every month and he would like a large tablet to use it in. As i can't find a 3G one for under £200 i came here to see if anyone had seen something i'd missed.

I'm just going to tell him to buy a cheap wifi one between £120-£200 along with a mifi for the data card.

I believe you can buy unlocked mifi portable hotspots for use with 3g networks, maybe look at these as a possible solution with another tablet .

Seems like the best option. Thanks guys.

Most of the budget ones accept a 3G USB dongle though tethering to a phone is often more convenient.

I would imagine that £100 Tabtronics with an 8" IPS screen is such like.

Archos 101 G9. £149 and dongle on amazon costs £46

That 101 is a big screen alternative to the Nexus.

It is a shame it has added weight since the original but the 3G dongle slot and improved 1280X800 high quality screen compensate.

Like the Nexus it should also be quite good for the web in portrait mode
