What you don't realise is she is making notes of these and soon a "i want that diamond ring" will be coming your way.

I think exactly the same way OB.

Do you have a link to the competition please?

Sorry, Richard, we are passed the closing date for entries now. Maybe there will be more competitions or special offers from VM this year!

Trying to find a decent review on You Tube but the few that are on there are these stupid robot voices.

Re: The Telly Tablet - does it make sense?

The price has now been reduced to £249.99, i'm not sure if the price has been reduced to shift them or if it's because the price of larger tablets is falling in general.

They are also offering one for £17 a month with some Smartphones:

I wasn't sure who manufactured these, but this is only available with Samsung Smartphones, so maybe this is an indicator??

I think they are way too pricey for most people. When they come down to 50 quid, I'll think about it.

Re: The Telly Tablet - does it make sense?

Since making the above post, the price has fallen to £199. It's still available 'free' for £17 a month with selected Samsung smartphones.

Over two years ago, people commented that the original price of £299 (then reduced to £249) was too much. Would people be prepared to pay £199 for one?

Not me. It needs to be way lower than that, but I dare say that would be uneconomic for VM.
