I ordered those refurbished ones literally minutes after the special sale email came, then after looking around a bit seeing that the model advertised as 2.2 (or 2.1) was in fact 1.5 at other sites, called tiger's sales line and was told yeah no worries if you get the 1.5 ( sales rep said they had (insert large number here) a special purchase and most should have been the 2.? version (while at archosfans site almost everyone was receiving 1.5 version) there will be a sticker saying where to go to download the upgrade if you got the older version
no sticker no upgrade BUT while the sales side was a little ... too slick feeling... the customer service side had the shipper pick up the next day and the refund was showing in account 72 hours later so they treated me alright
the 70 was through amazon and their reputation for fast refunds and good customer service proved itself same next day pick up refund in account even quicker than tiger....
even though I have my archos 5 which was defect free I did get a little concerned about archos products quality after these last purchases especially since I was going to gift one of the refurbs and then with the 70 gift the 5 I had but wasn't able to do that...
I went for refunds instead of more product because of my own experience and reading the archosfans posts had me concerned over that refurb sale
with this current sale I am passing because there is that mention of an upgrade if your model shipped isnt the right 2.2 android version but on the older sales page (refurbished) they say the model number which appears to be the same _cannot_ be upgraded....
I will wait for arnova 7 and search youtube for those that do unboxing videos which seem an honest review especially before things get rooted or altered but just to see the device straight from the box
when these new 3.1 or 3.2 tablets start to get to the $199 price level they might be worth it but their current price tags are a bit beyond my reach right now
that staples coupon was really driving me crazy as it put that new stuff _almost_ with in reach
