[Q] Is it worth to buy Sony Tablet S right now?

[SnitchElm]

I have been meaning to wait for Xperia Tablet S 3G version to come out. But I'm tired of waiting, who knows when or even if it does come out at all in my country.
Not to mention the problem they're having right now. It can take ages to come out here.
Right now, there's only the Wifi version of Sony Tablet S that are available to buy. No 3G version. And the price for 16 GB one is about $480 if converted from my currency.
So I'm thinking of having Sony Tablet S 3G-16 GB version imported for about $570. What do you guys think?

I'd say no, the Sony Tablet S is totally different to the Xperia Tablet S - I felt that last years model was plasticy despite its good build quality and high price tag and the performance was poor.

Stick the wait out and you'll be sure to make the right choice.

absolutely not! other than the fact that tablet s (original one) hasn't that great build quality it has a lot of problem in term of modding.. i would go for a samsung tablet if you are interested in modding..

Id say yes! Is an excellent tablet.
The xperia tablet s production is stoped because a defect in the construction

Thanks for the feedbacks, I think I'll buy it anyway.
I wanted to buy a tablet for a really long time now, and I'm not really a patient person
And I prefer sony cause it's not common (maybe some of you find it strange, but I'm just quirky like that )

I'm also almost buy a Sony Tablet S... but I guess, the Xperia tablet is really better - in many ways... and probably worth waiting for...

Although I don't mind mine anymore, no way in hell would I recommend it to anyone for any reason and given the option, I'd swap it for another one without hesitation.

I agree that Xperia tablet is better than the original tablet S, but I really don't feel like waiting any longer.
From the looks of thing, it's most likely won't come out here until at least early 2013. Plus, there's no guarantee they will release the 3G version immediately. And having a wifi only tablet, here in my town, is just useless I think.
So, I'll just use STS now, and replace it with xperia tablet later when it comes out.

I got my girlfriend a Nexus 7, and although not quite as feature rich as the Tablet S, Root was so simple litterally a child could do it, it is soooooooooo much faster, and 16GB was plenty for her. 7 inch screen makes it sooooooooo much lighter/portable too. 32gb model will be out soon. Thinking of selling my Tablet S and get the 32GB Nexus 7 instead. I have litterally tried for weeks to get my Tablet S rooted and hate the propriotory connector, etc.

My 2 cents worth.

I bought a Nexus 7, sold it for my Xperia Tablet S. No regrets!
