Comes with Windows 8.1 which is upgradable to Windows 10.
Downside is that the screen is 1366x768 but spec wise, it seems to be better than the Linx 1010B. It's cheaper than the 32GB version and also cheaper than importing this model from China.
2 full sized usb ports at the side which is a plus.
Note that this is the outdated model with the older 22nm bay trail atom.
The current V10 (pro?) has the cherry trail atom inside, as well as a display resolution from within this decade.

It doesn't mention anything about it in Gearbest description. However, from the review on Techtablets, it said:
"You also get 1 year of office 365 included, but you need to activate it within a few months or you can lose it. Oh and my Office 365 version was in English. This is worth around $60 so not a bad freebie."
So perhaps it's included but I wouldn't be 100% certain of it.
Any recommendations for a suitable Bluetooth keyboard ?

How long does it take to be delivered?

Roughly a week I reckon. It might not be dispatched till Monday, since it's Friday now. Should take 3-7 working days for delivery.

DHL and Customs will bill you. In fact DHL will bill you more. For a £55 item i had a bill of near £20 inc the DHL charge.

No they won't, it's coming from within the EU.

Please re-read OP. This item is despatched from a physical EU-based warehouse so no customs / admin fees are applicable.

Don't lie. The model is not outdated. Cherry trail which I own, only has a benefit of slightly faster graphics, which most wont have any use of.
As for the resolution it's perfectly fine.
I've never seen 10" 64Gb Windows tablet anywhere near this price. Even coming from China.

It's the Vi10 Ultimate that has the updated Cherry Trail. However it keeps the same display resolution as the previous Vi10 models. It's the Hi10 model which has a higher 1920x1200 screen with Cherry Trail though but is currently twice the price.

I don't get how people can be upset about a 1280+ res. Most laptops have a 15" screen with a res of 1280 or 1366. I.e., a fair bit worse PPI. The only reason to want more PPI on a tablet screen smaller than your laptop's is well, I'm not sure. Maybe if you want to hold the tablet 6 inches from your face. Basically it doesn't make sense to put a full HD screen on a 10" tablet, unless laptops are also shipping with that as standard. If you hold your tablet a sensible distance from your face (save your eyes) you will not be able to tell the difference between 1280x720 and 1920x1080, for example. Rant over. In b4 "I have telescopes for eyes and can spot a dust mite at 30 paces".

Just be wary if you are ordering this as a gift for Xmas. Even though they say it's in the EU warehouse, it doesn't always seem to be the case and sometimes it's shipped in from China.

Not sure about Bluetooth keyboards but there's a magnetic keyboard/case that goes with this but appears to be out of stock in EU unfortunately:
