Finally got my first Android device after Blackberr-ing for so many years!

Proud owner of the GTab 7.0 Plus!

Quick review:
Good screen display - direct under sunlight not really good
Not really laggy but the 1.2ghz cpu is not enough
16gb internal and 8gb external = 24gb of goodness
Using P1000 casing which cover off my ear piece
battery life not as i've expected
sometime the Sim card not detect (is this i major problem? i need to restart my device when it happen)
No much physical key (especially when the touch sensitive key is no longer there)

3.2 HC
I hate the new notification system - push notification far below my expectation
the new replacement for the touch sensitive key is too small below the screen. hard to press

What do you mean root? Is it the same as jailbreaking for iPhone?

More or else the same, but Rooting in android is same as gaining Administration control of your PC, or Super User in android. You can access some drive's file which usual user cannot.

After rooting you can install apps which only compatible with rooted device. such as SetCpu, BusyBox and etc. will not void your warranty because you can always un-root the device smile.gif

hi..i am interested in buying and using 7+ as primary phone+tablet..

1. full charged can last how long? say..3g, wifi, bluetooth alternately on
2. if on 2g mode, how long can last..maximum?
3. charging take how long to 100% battery?
4. if always on bluetooth (for headset), how long can it last?

this is my first tablet, battery is highest priority..or else wait for transformer prime (use simpler android phone) wink.gif
*
1. Roughly around 1 day
2. Never change to 2G, if 3g can last a day 2g lets say 1day and a half?
3. 2-3 hours
4. never tried.

Good enough to serve you both a tablet and phone. normal phone cannot give you the screen big enough for surfing and watching video. and get a good casing, can work as organizer as well as a name card holder! rclxm9.gif

Actually, Honeycomb 3.2 has USB OTG support. Even my Motorola Xoom (previously shipped with 3.0) supports OTG now.


Added on January 2, 2012, 11:35 pmFor those looking for FREE games... legally, simply open an Amazon App Store account and enjoy. New games are given out free daily after 11PM. So far, I got Fruit Ninja: Puss In Boots and Monopoly. All u need is an US address - just use Google's address.
