i62 anyone?
Wondering if Booxter or anyone else had a chance to use an i62 yet? i've seen a couple videos but havent had one in hand and was hoping for a first hand impression.
The Russian importer seems to be selling two versions "Albatross" and "Nautilus" i thought perhaps the difference was wifi or not but they both seem to have wifi |

The device is white and the Pearl screen on it was a little bit too grayish for my taste. And we don't offer ereaders, if we don't like them 100% (I am a sort of perfectionist). So I've ordered another sample - black device with PVI HD. I will get it in apprx. three weeks. As soon I get it I will make a short review (if I like it). Here are some pictures and specifications of Pearl equiped i62 (PVI HD will get 1024 x 768 Pixel): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23593310/ONY...cification.pdf Please ignore Prestigio branding. The final i62 Black will also get page turning buttons on the sides like here: Last edited by Booxtor; 02-29-2012 at 04:42 AM. |

I didnt realize they made it without buttons for Prestigio. interesting. and when you say "PVI HD" you are meaning the newer / higher dpi pearl film correct?
besides the white/grey issue did it operate fairly well / at least as well as say the A60? |

If this would perform like a Nook Touch but with the increased resolution Pearl, I'd buy it right now.
But only IF it would have phisical page turning buttons. |

Is there an update? I am interested in that device. :-)
How much do you expect it to cost (Should you decide to sell it in your store)? |

Hi, I will get my new i62 black with Pearl HD multi touch screen sample in 2-3 days. If I'll like it, we will order a certain amount of i62BHD and make it available in our shop.. The price is not decided yet, but I think it will be around 164 EUR net (for non EU customers) or 189 EUR (incl. 15% CY VAT). |

I'm interested too,
but to justify the expense it should perform smoothly, and have multilingual dictionaries. Last edited by lorenzoens; 03-25-2012 at 05:17 PM. |

Any news?
I'd buy a new 6" reader in the next weeks, I'd be interested in this. Just in case, I'd also like to know about the warranty duration. Thanks Last edited by lorenzoens; 04-08-2012 at 01:22 PM. |

Great!
Hope you can make a short video of its capabilities, I'd be especially interested in (multilingual) dictionaries lookup. Hope there's a long/double press for fast-accessing the translation (like T1 or Kindles, and not like the Nook or the Kobo). Sorry for asking, but since price + shipping would be quite expensive compared to the lower-resolution concurrents, one wants to make sure it's worth it. |
