Has anyone here used dx? How is it? Reliable? Do they ship to India?
Regards,

If you meant dealextreme, they have got cool gadgets. I will think twice before placing any order though - because of customs. Large sized packages may attract their attention. I had bought DRLs for my car from their site. It was a good quality product and still works fine after almost an year unlike the local LED stuff. Customs had blocked it for several weeks and I had to go there with the invoice and payment details to get it released.

Hmmm.
So did you use flashtool?
I was going to unlock my ion, and I got directed to sonys website, telling me about warranty.
No such thing happened with my x10 .

Not much available for the ion so far, so I decided to hold for now.

I think I did. I used the instructions from this post on xda-developers to lock bootloader.

Just got my Nexus 7+With Mobile Data. 32 GB. Costed me $330.

Used Airtel sim activated with 3G, Works fine. Just that we need to tweek the APN settings.

I'd suggest unlocking the boot loader before going ahead and making the tablet yours (setting up accounts and stuff)

I updated my nexus 7 to use Franco kernel and experiencing noteable performance improvement overall. Are you running 4.2.1?

You can plug in a portable hdd in USB to use any amount of storage :) 32 GB limit only applies to SD Card slot.

Ah, I was thinking you can only use the SD card for storage. Thanks for the headsup :D

Combined with this, an XBMC for android installation on this device should be the ultimate home entertainment system, and that too almost "hidden" by that size.

Yes, sounds very interesting. Will be my first buy next year....

You can always re-lock the bootloader in nexus devices very easily. It is just a command from fastboot - "fastboot oem (un)lock" - to lock and unlock.

The reason why it is recommended to unlock it before you configure your device is that unlocking *may* erase all userdata. So when the tab is new, you don't have any userdata and don't have to worry about losing anything at all. When I unlocked my Galaxy Nexus after using it for a month, luckily it didn't wipe any userdata. So I could just unlock, root and go on with the same setup. This is not guaranteed though.

Unlocked boot-loader will be required if you need to root the device in future. I always keep both my devices unlocked.

Thanks for that link, but too late in my case...! I didn't lose a byte of data though - everything was always being backed up in my DropBox account.

Is this just for nexus devices?
