    also come with a $40 prepaid sim

    Telstra SIM with 20GB and 6 months expiry. Where can I buy that for $40? :-)

    I'm using it as a car GPS navigator. Display is fine. A bit buggy. Loses GPS accuracy occasionally, and needs a reboot.
    Or randomly reboots, very occasionally. Would be unacceptable for a phone, but meh, $99.

    • WatchNerd on 26/06/2023 - 11:22

      Have you used it as a phone though? I thought that would be one of the least cpu intensive tasks.

        I agree, though I think when they say "phone" they mean as a your daily driver main device, which, I still think you could get by happily but that's another discussion.

        • WatchNerd on 26/06/2023 - 12:15

          Yeah I was thinking of getting one more for the lounge room to use on WiFi, checking Ozbargain, web browsing and controlling my Aldi smart downlights.

          • bargaino on 26/06/2023 - 13:58

            @WatchNerd: Yes, what the Duke said. Not reliable enough for your primary device.
            It has enough CPU and RAM to run google maps, which is not a small ask.

    • kldix on 27/06/2023 - 11:56

      I just started going through the activation process on the included SIM, but only had 5GB for 28 days - anyone else have this ? Was really hoping for the 20GB / 6 months (!) Any ideas if there's another way to get the longer expiry ?

      • bargaino on 04/08/2023 - 00:06

        I just activated 20GB / 6 months. It was the only option. Did you try contacting Telstra?

      I have one. It is a bit slow for me, but it's a good form factor, built-in dual 4G etc. Overall good for kids or for a project.

    Good as Home Assistant Dashboard ??

    • SunElf on 03/07/2023 - 13:35

      Second this question. Please advise does it have google store to install Home assistant app?

  • BigBirdy on 26/06/2023 - 11:37

    I'm looking for a motorcycle GPS, but 3gb RAM means painfully slow …

    • hopper on 26/06/2023 - 13:57

      I use ride motorbike by using GPS on my phone by listening to directions via wired earphones (this was 2012), while phone was in my pocket. It's hard to see the display while ur riding in day light

      • BigBirdy on 26/06/2023 - 16:39

        Phone works ok, but I want something bigger. It's mostly for off-road riding

  • plague69 on 26/06/2023 - 12:24

    Does this have a glass screen or one of the cheap plastic screens?

    • bargaino on 26/06/2023 - 14:01

      Glass.

    As per that whirlpool discussion - case you can get that mostly fits is https://www.bigw.com.au/product/cygnett-nanogrip-universal-8…

  • WatchNerd on 28/06/2023 - 08:34

    I wonder what @TabletNerd (Clear) thinks of this?

    • Clear on 28/06/2023 - 09:00

      More RAM and storage would have made this perfect. CPU is good and a HD display for an 8" tablet is fine.
