ZT-180-102 PAD 10.2 inch TFT Android 2.1

trusteable?

Forum at Zenithink.us looks abandoned. Unfortunately I ordered ZT-180 there, and now 9th day of "processing" state is running. It looks like a vulgar fraud. Site owner doesn't respond on emails, twits, facebook PMs, ebay PMs, "Contact us" form.

I think I bought a piece of wisdom instead Zenithink ZT-180 and paid $255 for it.
There is no board in internet where Zenithink.us owner was after 10/07/2010. Yet another sign of fraud.

Sorry to hear that!

Hopefully he is merely out of town or the country on business...

waterhead · Oct 17, 2010

Hopefully this is just some sort of error. He did seem genuine, and saw a U.S market for the tablets that he could fill. He also said he ran another web retailer, maybe try and contact them through that:

Foscam.us - Wireless IP Cameras

I don't know how you paid for it, but you could contact them and have them stop payment on that purchase. Then send Zenithink.us an email telling them that you have stopped payment.

If you get a refund, there is another U.S. seller of this tablet, Flatcomputing.

Flat Computing, LLC - FlatPad A10

i cannot personally vouch for this seller. But it is much cheaper than Zenithink.us, and it appears that there is no shipping charge either.

2 Martimus:
The second reason of silence may be delayed shipment from China. But I could understand it if I receive any answer. Silence makes me nervous.

In 2-3 days I'll try to call him by number given on foscam.us website. Who knows, maybe it will give me a chance to have android tablet.

2 waterhead:
I paid via PayPal, but order form at site doesn't provide any info about order to PayPal. It was processed just like casual money transfer (that's bad, but payment type becomes clear only after payment processing). That's why I'm so nervous. It seems that there's to chance to refund via PayPal debate. And my bank is already transferred money, so there's no chance to revert transaction.

I'm a student and considering to buy this tablet from androidtime.com, I havent read any reviews but one in this topic, is there anyone else who has experience with androidtime?

I just ordered a Zethink 180 from them, and they were very responsive in answering my questions.

The seller claims that the tablets have already been imported from China, and are in a warehouse in Texas. This way U.S. customs cannot seize it (as they did mine).

If you are outside of the USA, there is no reason for you to buy from them.

I'm outside of the USA but there is a reason to buy in US. Zenithink manufacturer provides a number of configuration called ZT-180 (look at their website - zenithink.com). If you buy it on Alibaba or Pandawill, there is a risk to get the same motherboard with 1Gb flash, cheaper wi-fi module, etc by the cost of more expensive model. So, shipping from USA is a kind of warranty because of USA law.

By the way, most of payment systems are appliable to US laws. This is one more point of warranty.

Does anyone know where to get spare wall and/or car chargers for this?

It was "US laws" that enabled U.S.Customs to seize my tablet! I had to prove that it was OK to import, and pay a $100 "fee" to get my tablet!

So much for US laws.

mdifilm · Oct 18, 2010

i'm not sure if US law applies, I got mine from AndroidTime.com and it got to me within 3 days and the guy who rans it was extremely responsive, overall I only paid $223 for it. I would rather buy from a US distributor if the US distributor is responsive, from what I've read and research, this wasn't the case with zenithink.us

I do not think there is any difference between the product sold in US or in China (alibaba or others) as I just do not see manufacturer's re-configure the tablet to fit each country's need when the demand of orders are 'small'.

Waterhead, I JUST (a week ago) got my A10 from flatpad.

Their communication with their customr is horrid, BUT their product is good, and their price is good. the free shipping comes and goes (I missed it by 1 day) mine was $216 shipped.

FYI

It should! Just be careful buying off brand large capacity micro SD's as sometimes you don't get what you pay for...

mdifilm · Oct 18, 2010

the 1014 firmware works like a charm for me, the screen is responsive and no FC so far.

thovonne7 · Oct 18, 2010

Does the market work as soon as you loaded the firmware?
