I decided to look at what I call a mini-tablet except since mini-tabs haven't been around very long, I ended up with a used Droid I phone about 3 years old, that I only use on WiFi though I could use it as a phone if I signed a contract.
It has a 3.7" display, a really great camera, and of course the bells and whistles of a (in its time) franchise phone. I thought the keyboard would be great, and it does work well, but I hardly ever use it. With the keyboard it is actually pretty heavy in the hand. A solid machine.
As time passes, I hope I will be able to get a 4 or 5 inch mini tablet like a Note (5.3) or something like that.
I have had the Droid I for some months now. No problems.
The cost? For complete phone, new charger, new cable?
With shipping and no tax: $36.
I did put a big SD card that I already had in it, and the memory is now 32GB.
A cheap gamble.
30 day return policy, and no dealing across the water.
