I received my Tablet and from the getgo ; it was easy to set up and to use. The dispaly is easy on the eyes, the moving from app to apps is very easy to use.
It does not have a built in mass storage mode to explore through the system files like their gingerbread and ice cream sandwich devices. kies air allows you to transfer some files on and off the device, but if you require separate 3rd party app files, its going to take a lot of know how. It does not have expandable memory. other than that. it is a very solid device
The tab is fast at processing information in compairsion to my old phone and computer. I also like its easy of use in most regards of apps and surffing the net.
After witnessing the bad experiences of a couple of friends and doing a little Internet research, I got the 8.9 from AT&T and I am really happy with it.
The main thing is the speed! Way better than the cheaper brands!
One minor "con" I have noted so far is that the auto-dim is kind of "all or none", meaning it will really dim or really brighten and there doesn't seem to be various levels of auto-dim based on available light.
The only other con might be the lack of a pre-loaded word processor or spreadsheet program of any flavor but, if you think about it, I'm sure Google wants you to use Google Docs, so I'm not surprised by this.
Other than that, I have no real issues with this unit and that's a difficult thing to say in the day and age. I highly recommended it to everyone. It is certainly worth the extra money!
i have been selling this item for some time i recommend it to many of my customers and my company gave it to me as a reward, wish it had expandable memory thou but really happy with it
Pros: Sharp, vivid screen; super-fast processor; perfectly sized, connects easily via Kies for transferring all my music seamlessly; can download apps for creating and editing word-processing, spreadsheet and .pdf files Cons: The only one I've noticed is that there seems to be no way to set up the unit for multiple users with distinct logins or to password protect individual email accounts (although you can password protect the unit itself).
