I have decided to go with this one

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:AAQ:GB:1123

as I was too later to buy the other one

What do people think?
Is the price Ok?
Is it Brand New and will it come with all accessories? (and what are they ie headphones etc)
What does it mean when it says "Please note that UK power plug is not included and that the retail box may be unsealed"?

Can I buy a UK Plug for this unit Or will the USB charger be sufficient
If its anything like the Nexus 5 you get a usb cable and the plug comes separate with a usb socket on it. So you'd just need to get a new adaptor. Or just charge it from your computer.

Why is is so cheap anyway? Impending update on the Nexus 10? Or is returned old stock?

Radical idea but why not message the seller and ask them?

I did but I know I will get a quicker response here. It does say however its a brand new product and comes with all accessories. "There is no Uk power adapter, jst an EU one but the box has been opened

All we can do is give you a best guess or, in some cases, point out the obvious that you've missed. The seller, on the other hand, can give you actual solid info...

...and if they can't, then walk away.

For £289.99 you can get the 32GB Nexus 10 with a UK adapter from Co-Op electrical. They offer free next day delivery via DPD so you get a one hour delivery window too.

It's significantly cheaper than the unsealed, wrong adapter one on eBay for £369.99.

I sent loads of messages back and forwards to them

1. Hi,

Yes, it is a brand new item but those in unsealed boxes have been turned on to make sure that they are working fine.

This item comes with EU power plug and we won't be able to seal the box for you.

Kind Regards

2. Hi,

- This is a brand new item but it comes with EU power plug

- As it is a brand new product, it won't have any signs of use (so there won't be any scuffs / marks / scratches etc)

- It comes in original box (that may be unsealed)

- Accessories: EU charger, manual

Kind Regards

- dealtime_it

3. Hi,

If you will order it by 2pm today we will get it dispatched tonight and it will be with you tomorrow (our courier will be closed from Friday till Tuesday due to bank holidays).

Kind Regards

- dealtime_it

4. Hi,

It comes with 3 months of warranty.

KInd Regards

- dealtime_it

Plus its £249.99

Right, so he's answered your questions - what is it that's not clear?

Personally, though, I'd just get the one from Co-op, or check out other shops that give longer warranties/won't give you hassle if anything goes wrong 4 months down the line.

Just because it's cheap on eBay doesn't mean it's a good deal in the long run.

Just got my Google Nexus today and I must say its WAY WAY better than my Samsung.

I have one question though, how can I create a entry in my Hotmail calendar and have it automatically sync to my Google Calendar on my tablet?

In Windows Live calendar select "Share" from the top menu, select your calendar then mark "Share this calendar" and tick "Make your calendar public" (temporarily) and Save. Click the option marked "ICS:Import into another calendar application" and copy the URL that begins "webcal://cid...".

2. Go to Import Calendars in Google Calendar (Settings>Calendars Settings>Import Calendars), choose your desired destination calendar for the import, and click chose file, then paste the copied URL from (1) into the "File Name" field but make sure you replace "webcal://" with "http://" and click open. The ics file will load and just hit "Import"

3. Return to your Windows Live Calendar share settings from (1) and unshare the calendar. Job complete.

How long does it take? My Nexus 10 takes about 6 hours for a full charge.

You can use a "pogo" charger to increase the speed slightly but that's not something i've tried.

What charger are you using? The Nexus needs a higher power one than most mobile phones. You need a 5V one.
