yes some of the phone are bad, but for this mi700 it's quote good because it use the same OEM tablet as view sonic viewpad7, olivepad, chamangi and etc...

yes can use 3g, this tablet can insert simcard. if you didnt subscribe data plan for ur sim card, then u'll get charge per kb. if you subscribe the data plan from maxis, digi or celcom, you can refer to respective page for the charge rate.

and of course this tablet can make call.

this tablet is diff from the one that u shown. this tablet can make calls, using os froyo 2.2, the best is it has local warranty.
*
i want this bcause carrying a laptop is heavy and risky,i can just read notes easily if have this tablet.

im using maxis youth club but nver subscribe any data plan .so which is the fastest ?maxis,digi or celcom ? some say maxis are better,some say celcom some say digi are cheapest.

i heard,lots of ppl having problem watching video .some say it can't support mkv,if can play also a bit lag

i tried this tablet at summit usj .a bit small to me but its ok .but i din;t try it much,just scroll it,din't really like the UI
she nver mention bout the +6months warranty,she said only 1 year .price 1599 .4gb micro sd card.
and i dunno whether this is true or not,she said ipad last for only 2 hours,csl can last around 6hours

and lastly can anyone recommend me a shop around subang jaya ,beside summit,i can't really believe shop at there
will i get all of this ?

Shark buy from csl authorized reseller n you will get all the freebies . Just check it up at their web all the resellers. Check the star paper few days back big advert bring it along and show them as all the feebies is listed in the advert

iPad battery easily last 10 hours . The salesgirl has zero knowledge obviously about iPad. The csl should last at least 5 hours

there few things a bit weird bout csl shops.my friend survey a phone(csl) few months ago at snway pyramid,then we go to summit usj its rm100 cheaper,im 70% sure its the same model .

im not sure bout summit usj.bcause buy a ps3,xbox360,game devices there ,cannot be trusted at all
i survey again tomoorow,if no choice then summit la

my bro just bought this csl tablet.

it works well,but i can't open my word,pdf via document to go(not registered yet,just press later)
1st,i transfer via usb from pc to the tablet,it detects the file but an error saying"this file cannot be opened because it appears to be a plain text file "
and for pdf -"error opening file.it may not be a valid PDF file"
i already try a few format of words too.
and i add an mp3 song too but it did not detect it.
i off and on it back again. there was actually 3 m.words file,csl only detects 2,after off on,it detects 3 but none of it can be opened.
and for mp3 i put 3 songs,after off on ,it appears 2 only ,1 more don't appear

and 1 more i can't open bluebery messenger ,it just blank,can't press anything except for the menu(to go to menu)
and another,the games doesnt work well,maybe its for phone,
i downloaded raging thunder and abduction !,it doesn't work well like my phone but the screen are big

others,it work well for internet,quite fast,typing feels as fast as typing in laptops

just realise this tablet is faulty .going to csl tomorrow to see what they will do.i ask my bro to change for new one bcause its not even 1 day,its already faulty ,repairing will take a lot of time

Yes. I think better change to a new unit. No point to repair. This time, test the unit out for applications and games to ensure it works well before you leave the shop. Prepare to spend some time there, rather having headache of problems again.

Good luck shark7.
Cheers !

im not sure if can change bcause the csl is already registered with the limited warranty card and mapking

however i will ask my bro to try.

update,this morning i can open words(what i did is give email to my gmail with attached word files,and download it via csl,it works,and i try to use usb again,its work),mp3 also works now.can open bluebrry mssger too now.i suspect it could be the m.card not transfering the file properly,when i plug in usb it will connect and disconnect for few times b4 it eventually connects correctly

but the m.card slot is still faulty,the m.card din;t pop out after press.sim card works well

Better try first..if cannot, then no choice but to take it for a check up n repair. Make sure when they give you back after repair, test out the applications, video, software etc..etc..on the spot. Make sure all in good working order before you sign the repair form.

Once you are confidence n happy with the unit, then only sign the form and take the unit back home. Save you trouble later on..

actually its the m.card slot problem,the m.card din't pop out after i press it
already take to csl with my bro

they use their long nail to take it out
first they say they will repair take to factory
after a bit argument,they say they change new one,as they are about to change a new one,one staff come in
and dunno what he do,he master reset the csl,and suddenly it works .there nothing wrong with the csl,its just the m.card slot,but dunno.it works,could be something wrong inside the slot.

btw b4 the staff come in,that seller wanna conned me by giving me display set and saying its new.how i know its display set ?the diary cover doesn't feel like new,new one are tight,my bro say that the csl looks like the one he test
(display set) bcause lots of fingerprint,and bcause of the screen protector got lots of bubbles(not the real screen protector,plastic one)
another thing i check documents to go,it will say something like "accept or decline"if u open it 1st time but it din't ask.
and the time is the same as the real time,my bro said b4 he buy,the seller change the time for him meaning the time wasn't set if its a new one
and another i check the wifi settings,its already connected to csl shop? how come ?it have password.
then we want him to change again,same thing again with another csl.hurmm.
then luckily my bro csl works,at least his one was new for sure.

For those who have bought the CSL, can you check with the shops on the battery issue.

Since the battery for the tablet is built into the unit. All batteries have life cycle of how many charges before need to be replaced.

How many time can be used ?
Find out after the battery life cycle is used up, can they change or replace the internal battery for a new one ?? And expected price for this replacement battery.

Important otherwise you have to carry the charger with you always.

have u try ? im lazy to go to csl as the csl is not mine,but my bro is bz for this 3 weeks bcause of exam,so he lend me his csl .i thought someone said the battery was ok but for me its quite bad,just like my android phone eventhough i just used for few hours,not even 4 hours i think,i think its bcause some app are still running,it don't exit properly.

and the usb,always disconnect and connect .quite annyoing,not sure whether its usb or csl problem
and i need to power off and on again to check my new files that i have transfer via usb,if not the new files won't appear,kinda weird (is it normal?)

WOW - all these seems problematic, hardware related issue. Anyway dont expect too much for battery life. It is a big 7" screen most likely will last 5-7 hours max basing on my experience using Android smartphones 4" and above ( Galaxy S, HD2 Android and Dell Streak )
*
about the usb,im not sure its usb cable or csl problem,its disconnect for the 1st 3 time everytime i plug in the usb,after disconnecting like 3 times,then it when ok.

about the battery,i have another friend who hve the csl mi700,he also says the same,last around 1 day.
i think its the app running that kills the battery.

and none of you have the m.card problem ? if i unplug the usb,there no new files detected,i need to power off and on the csl again for it to detect new files

btw,i wanna try to root mi700,if i made a mistake,the mi700 will brick is it ?any backup ?

Battery issue for my unit = it's loose I think, and the back cover is coming loose too. At the slightest drop, the unit will go blank. Need to depress power button to reboot.

Sometimes after a full charge, the unit will suddenly power down and battery indicator show 1%. Then, I need to press down on the back cover and reboot the device.

Sigh...I got no time to send it back for warranty yet. I've grown dependent on it for my emails, calendar and tracking expenses. Its great, but I also own an iPad 3G which my kid plays with. That thing has suffered more than a few drops and still going strong. My Droidpad seems flimsy in comparison.

mine are loose to,if i press hard a bit on the back there a sound ,but its only on the upper left,upper right is ok
about the full charge,i have that prob once,its 30 % although after 30 min,then i unplug and plug it again,then it charge properly
if i send to csl ,i think they will say ,its normal .some of the csl staff doesn't really know a lot bout csl.

Try to drain up the battery completely. Then recharge till full. After that, try to back up your files, data or programs you installed. Try to do a hard reset / factory default setting.

When it is completed, try to check whether all the programs are working in order, and to check the battery status again. (Calibrate the screen again).

Hope this will help.

Cheers !

I will put up some of these problems on my main thread, including solution to these problems. (( guys, please contribute so I can put informative solution for all the CSL users here ))..
