My original need was for an Android device that could not only flash Espruino devices, but also allow for easy reading. A 10" tablet was my initial desire. (post #3 and post #13) After a month of research and observation, it seemed that for resale ability, having more features made more sense, if I could only get past the viewing area. A smart phone viewable area would roughly fit into the same area with just an additional two inches/50mm each bottom and right edge. I masked off my 7" table to see if I could get past the reading screen real estate limitation. Not ideal. Initial cost was comparable. The idea hit me, that maybe the addition of NFC would allow web code devlopment for smart phones Point-Of-Sale detection, a back burner task I've considered. That led me on to four really good picks suggested in #16 post.
Now it boiled down to 'bang-for-the-buck' as searching DealDash, eBay and Amazon, revealed both used and previously owned devices. After four hours of perusal, found two that were around $100-$150 less than new. Then through a miracle of Google response magic, found a six month old Nokia 6V1 with BT V5, NFC, GPS, and compass, for the same price as I was finding the discount! BINGO! Ordered.
No original packaging, manual or charger, but those are pretty inexpensive. Amazon indicating two week delay from Pandemic, so I'll keep ya' posted on whether it was a good buy.
