- AliExpress has a bewildering array of Boyue products, but a reputation for being very much on the Wild West caveat emptor side of things.
- Boyue rebrands though a number of European resellers, but they make a less appealing buying option for buyers outside Europe (extra markup, extra shipping).
Any other channels I should be looking at? |
I'm also very interested in buying the T63 as soon as it becomes available!. This would be my very first purchase from Asia, but I think It'll be worth taking chances with this one. Lately I've been reading a lot about the Boyue and seems like the T63 will be the first mature, "out of beta" Boyue device.
I'm a little bit worried though. Looks like these Chinese manufacturers are not very consistent with their build quality... not to mention the software/firmware their devices are running. I think they're being very lazy in this regard since 95% of the hard work is being done by the android base... the remaining 5% of the software tweaks could be fixed by hiring some coders for very little money. China has incredible software engineers, but seems like the government has hir...ed... chatched 'em all and turned 'em hackers.
. There's no other explanation for this horrible situation with the Boyue!.
Back to topic, it also looks like Boyue has an official store, doesn't it?. The site is all in chinese, and takes you to some sort of ebay website (jd.com):
http://www.boyue.com/plus/list.php?tid=5 (click the big red button on the top right corner).
EDIT: even more confusing, and it's been posted before, but when visiting:
http://www.boyue.com/a/ebook/
Just below the little girl there's a "store" rectangular banner/button which takes you to
http://boyuesm.tmall.com/
Btw, do you guys know if Boyue provides any warranty with their devices?.
