Optus MyTab from Dick Smith Online $99 Delivered

1460

I just ordered a couple. You might want to combine this with the $20 Paypal cashback deal, or the AMEX cashback deal and MoneyBackCo. Enjoy!

P.S. if you are experiencing the issue of cann't add it to cart, please try search "MyTab" and add it directly in the search result page. It worked for me.

And one more tip, if you want to buy two and take the Paypal deal, there is a $2 SIM pack which can make the purchase eligible: http://dicksmith.com.au/product/E7310/amaysim-2-sim-pack

    • works fine just picked another one up for my son

  • +1

    My order has been despatched. They use AAE.

    • I was able to snag one earlier this morning.
      But looks like its broke now though …

      Tried to order another one to test and it looks like its broken

      Maybe DS didn't see the rush that was coming this morning.

  • +2

    My order is shown as "Your order is on backorder and will be shipped when available." Hehe, maybe i should have waited for my order to be dispatched before i posted up here. The power of Ozbargain ;P

  • Ordered mine at 9:38 am, And its just been despatched!!!

    • What? How is DSE delivery system working? I ordered yesterday lunchtime and it is on backorder. They are just hopeless. But anyway, i have got one to play with, not in a hurry.

      • I ordered at 3:30 pm yesterday and showing dispatched. But due to the long weekend we might get it delivered around the same time I reckon?

  • My order is also showing as "Your order is on backorder and will be shipped when available." Does this mean it will definitely be sent out, but at a later date or is there a chance it will be cancelled later?

    • Just got an update saying it has now shipped. :)

  • +1

    Lucky I got one this morning…how quickly it was sold out again and again…you people are crazy haha.

  • I have made an order half hour ago. Just went i clicked on the process button at Paypal. It went ERROR!!!!
    But payment is already on pending in Paypal.
    But no receipt from Dicksmith except Paypal. =(
    Not sure is it because i purchased 3 in one go that causes the error.
    Damn it!

  • Is this better than the Optus Huawei X1 Android tablet also available ?

    • Link?

  • It's up again!

  • Yay up again! And bought this time! No more second guessing haha.

  • It says nothing about the optus 3GB bonus data that harvey norman has? Does DSE have the bonus too?

    • +2

      they don;t need to say anything. it comes automatically when you activate the sim. retailers wouldnt know this much detail to put in their ads.

  • +1

    Not sure if anyone needs one but I've got 2 spare for $99 each…located in Melb

    • I'm interested in both if they're still available, where abouts in Melbourne?

    • I can't message you in your profile mate, if it's still available just message me in my account detail. Cheers

  • +3

    Back in stock, nice. Bought one for my dad, one for the wife, extra sim and hopefully get $20 paypal back. Great find!

  • no longer allow me to add to cart :(. all the DSE around my area is O/S also harvey norman.

  • i couldnt get it to update in my cart.
    so i searched for "optus my tab", and "added to cart", then it worked fine, go figure….

  • Out of stock?

  • +1

    I have called and confirmed out of stock online and warehouse have no stocks at all.

  • +3

    Man OZBargainers seem to rock….

    Deplete store stocks in one morning…

    Wish our cricketers were so good… Clean up the English batting order in one session!

    BTW how does this compare with the Telstra's T-Touch?

    • +4

      It rapes the T-Touch…

      OK maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but please for the love of god don't buy the T-Touch…

      Here you go:

      http://www.cnet.com.au/telstra-t-touch-tab-339306869.htm

      Its got a better processor but the screen is terrible…I tried one at a telstra shop and its crap compared to the Mytab screen.

  • +1

    ordered at 9:45am and it was marked as shipped an hour ago! Makes me a happy chappy, but it doesn't seem fair that people who purchased yesterday have theirs on back order :(

    • +2

      Thanks for the thought thewarden. It is weird, back from lunch and i just found dispatch notice for my order, while it was shown as "backorder" an hour ago. But anyway, i feel better now :-)

  • all the big stores around liverpool area are sold out. sad panda :(

  • Mines been dispatched, ordered it 2 hours ago :)

    Glad to see you had yours dispatched too Saturday!

  • +2

    OK, I don't really need it, but I just a couple of glasses of wine, f**k it, I'm pulling the trigger!

    crap, sold out everywhere, oh well.

    • You snooze, you lose.

      Mind I think with a little application and tracking of who might have stock you will eventually manage to bag one. They are well worth it I'd suggest.

  • +2

    The cheapest price is 1500yuan(about $250) in China. Don't know why it is so cheap in here. Holly crap! I can not resist myself to order two, Haha!!!

    ref "What happens if I have purchased a product online and want to return it because I have changed my mind? The quickest way to return items is by going to your local store. You can return or exchange most online purchases at any Dick Smith store within 14 days of purchase. Simply approach the sales or service counter for assistance. If going in store is not convenient, you can return items by mail. This can be coordinated through our Contact Centre on 1300 366 644." i know you cant return prepaid phones. what about this my tab if it isnt opened?to get this $20 paypal discount offer i wonder if one can order 2 my tabs or something else so that the order is over $200 and qualifies for the paypal $20 discount and just return the unwanted item unopened within 14 days?

    • +1

      Easier to sell it on ebay, use registered post, so you can prove delivery.

      Sell for $120 approx to cover your costs and someone will buy it.

  • i guess i missed out it says "In Store Only Please check store stock for local availability" and all the DSE in SEQ that ive called seem to be out of stock and say its a discontinued item so no more will be ordered in. does anyone of a DSE store in SEQ QLD that still have stock?

  • anyone in Melbourne has a spare one ? please contact me 'cause I'm trying to get one but you guys on OZbargain are sooooo fast =))

    • Try calling Goodguys Maribynong: 9243 0000. I was told that 5 are coming next week. I pre-ordered one. Also someone just mentioned bigw in werribee plaza had stock.

  • +1

    Anyone wants to sell this item for $120? I desperately want it. I will buy $120 max.
    Brand new or 1-2 weeks old is fine. I have pre-ordered in Dick Smith, but they are coming in 1 week. I can't wait that long. Thanks guys.

    I am in Sydney. I can go pick up for your convenience.

    • I have one so if you are still interested…

      • pm sent.
        I sent you my phone number, please contact me or pm me your phone number to arrange transaction.

        Thanks :D

  • Anyone want to sell their optus mytab?
    As I said, I am willing to pay $120 for brand new or 1-2 weeks old.

    • I do. A spare one in Perth, inner NOR. Unlocked and flashed to 2.2, With receipt $149, just before the price drop :-(
      Not left the house. SIM not activated. (I have another that is well used!)

      • I am in Sydney. looking for one in Sydney only to do pickup

        • I am going to sell my another one for $99 when get them next week. Pick up from Hornsby.

        • I am also looking for one in sydney too. Contact me if you have one to part with.

  • -1

    so is this expired ? there is no stock now…

    • +1

      I believe this is correct. It is a discontinued line

      • -6

        shouldnt the deal be marked as expired ?

        • +4

          Not a valid reason for a neg! Sour grapes!?

  • If you haven't yet, I highly recommend to upgrade to custom 2.3 rom. It is much faster and smoother, and you can notice it in games as well (Angry Bird, Drag Racing, etc - games highly lag at all).

    If something goes wrong, you can always re-flash it to 2.2 using ZTE flash utility.

  • Happy to pay $125 for one, just msg/email me.

    I'm nowhere there unfortunately.

    • Broadmeadows has none. I was told they sold their last one a couple of weeks ago.

    • Low stock, in my experience @ Forest Hill and Eastland, means either they don't have any or if they do it is a display model, which they may or may not be willing to sell. I've also had the experience of a product showing as low stock being a customer return which had been opened or marked as faulty but wasn't for sale but still on their product database.

  • Has anyone got a spare? I am looking for a pick up from Sydney. pm me.

  • +1

    they must be hoping for more as its in the new catalog which starts on the 15th june - 4 july for $99

  • received today now time to set-up )

    • did you order on thursday or friday? Mine is showing order status as 'Completed' but is still not trackable :(

      • ordered 12.13 pm thursday( perth time ) packed and sent friday delv monday

  • Ordered mine on Friday - arrived today 8am (ADL)

    One un-spoken-for MyTab remaining at DSE Fyshwick (ACT) as at 14:15 today. I asked about the MyTab ad in the new catalogue (from 15th of June). They had pre-orders on six out of eight units, but it happened that they had received their stock of MyTabs earlier today, so instead of me putting down a deposit and returning tomorrow, they let me buy number seven on the spot. :-)

  • For those still looking for a MyTab, DSE Parramatta (NSW) have received stock as my brother has bought one for me. A little phone store called CN Tech in Canley Heights has one in stock. I accidently bought it, not knowing my brother had already got me one. I returned it, and it's still sitting there.

  • Hope to pick mine up from DSE tomorrow. Completely new to me as I prefer to drive a MAC! Planning on using it for my kids to play games on and for work - early intervention with hearing impaired kids. Any tips on good android games for kids and with good listening activities???

    • Bear in mind that to upgrade to Android 2.2 you need access to a PC running Windows - XP SP2/3, Vista or 7 is required to run the upgrade tool. I haven't upgraded yet for this reason, but everyone seems to say that Android 2.2 is a worthwhile upgrade.

      Actually, if I could get reliable 3G reception here at my workplace to register the Optus 3G prepaid SIM in the thing, that would be a good start… 2km from the Canberra CBD, and I can't get through the signup process, even while sitting outside!

      • +1

        you need access to a PC running Windows

        Only if you use the official Optus/ZTE tool.
        You can also download the ZTE 2.2 ROM and install using a recovery tool if you want to avoid Windows.

        I can't get through the signup process, even while sitting outside!

        So switch to 2G. EDGE is not so horrible.

        • Thanks for the firmware upgrade suggestion. I should have tried disabling 3G, but I thought I'd try using it like my mum would, which is to say, going with the defaults, and seeing whether it all "just worked".

          I was finally able to activate the 3G SIM later that evening, while sitting in a carpark far from the CBD. I knew that 3G mobile broadband was supposed to let you access the Internet from a car, but it seems with Optus, sometimes that is obligatory. :-)

  • Number of stores in Sydney are showing Stock:

    Pitt St
    North Parramatta
    Parramatta
    Seven Hills
    Winston Hills
    Bankstown Square

    • All of them are out of stock now. PM me if you have a spare one you want to get rid of it in Sydney.

  • Just picked up 2 in Campbelltown Mall DSE

    I had to ring first and get them to put it aside.
    I think they said they have a total of 7 in stock

    Only one per customer
    I had to bring a mate to get the other one.

    If keen, make sure to ring up and get them tp put aside for you.

    Good luck :)

  • Picked up the last one in Sunshine, Victoria.

    I asked if they were going to get more stock and they said no.

    Who knows, new shipping might be delivered tomorrow for the catalogue sale.

    • Picked up two from DSE Galleria Melbourne just now. They just received 10 this morning and I picked up the first two. The SA told me that this will be their last stock, they will not restock them anymore

  • Man…
    These are going like got cake!

    Saw some earlier, and they were all gone before I could call & reserve one…
    Sigh :(

  • Called pretty much every single store in brissy that I know of… looks like all the catalog stock is not even going to reach Brisbane… me goes emo lol

  • Anyone knows that if it's safe to sell on eBay the whole new package with the prepaid SIM? It's not activated by registered under my name when checkout. Any suggestions welcomed !
