Back in stock at BT Shop. You have to use the specific link (which is from their newsletter) to get this price, which includes a £20 discount. If you just go on their website it is listed at £169.99.
Delivery is £3.49 but you should be able to cover that with 2% Quidco.
Looks like currently only in stock at nvidia (£169.99), Amazon (£169.99) and Scan (£179.99), so this is cheapest around. Apparently they go out of stock quickly and evidently Amazon have decided to increase their price rather than sell it at their usual price of £149.99.

Ok, there's a few mad statements in here so hopefully this helps clear things up. I've got two of these (one for each of my boys):
1. It runs marshmallow and it's a straightforward over the air update to get it
2. They're very fast tablets with great battery life
3. They have the ability to connect to Geoforce Now which gives you access to a load of console/PC level games with you streaming from the tablet (free for 3 months then I think £7.50 a month)
4. To get the best out of that you really need a controller (Xbox like) which are damn expensive (£35 off eBay, £50 from Nvidia)
5. They are quite hefty; this is no Galaxy Tab S....it feels like a very solid chunky tablet...moreso if you put it in a front/back case.
6. The Nvidia case (front protection only) is pretty classy and hooks in via magnet.
7. Wifi range is great: never had any problems
8. Hooks up to the telly via mini HDMI cable, and it's pretty impressive thinking you've got a totally portable console you can play two player games on the go with. I do steal them when staying away with work :-)
9. They run kodi like a champ...and things like Showbox and Mobdro. I regularly hook one of ours up to the TV to have a movie night with the family.
10. There were problems with a previous incarnation of this: but from personal experience they're fixed.

IPad is king in tablet department no doubt about that everyone knows this. But for phone its debateable. Also your asking in a android biased thread now so not the place to ask

Cheers OP, just ordered, hoping the quality (esp wi-fi) will be a lot better than the Lenovo tab I had to send back (only had that as no stock of the K1's about at the time), also this should update to MM, the Lenovo was stuck on horrible Lollipop

Best tablet for the money hands down, though they never seem to have enough to go around.
Don't forget you need a 2amp charger and micro usb cable to charge it.
The flip cover is worth the money too...
