Detailed review
Settings > Reset > Shut down > Pack > and Returned. That is what I did after using this for 3 weeks with a lot of patience and customization. If you are reading this review, you are getting the right advice. Samsung should get over this panic development of all size tablets tabletphones, phonetablets, phonetabs, tabtabs and god knows what else that are neither this nor that. This is my first ever review about a product and if I am writing this, it means there is something seriously wrong and I want you to know it before deciding anything that you will regret later, as I did.
1. While some may prefer a smaller size as 7", I found it quite annoying especially for reading web pages. The screen resolution is lower than needed for this size and it gets tiring to read websites, or general text.
2. There is no home button. I know it is because they didn't want to copy iphone/ipad style, but it is uncomfortable during turning on the device. You might be thinking "come on.." but seriously, it is not laziness, that home button is really needed. Talking about buttons, the volume buttons on the right gets pressed always when you are holding it by either hand. Not practical.
3. Some Apps are not really compatible, either crash or is just a maximized version. I have an iphone too, and the difference is clearly seen. Not good!
4. If the battery drains out, which usually does quickly as a tablet, it takes ages ... literally ages to recharge. Do I have that much time to wait for that. Tablets or other technology is to ease my life not to make me wait endlessly in dispair.
5. Syncing it with macbook was a nightmare. After installing Kies and god knows what else, it was buggy buggy buggy with crashes, incomplete syncs and not transferring videos.
6. Finally I want to stress once more that the screen resolution is disappointing - and so is the touch speed. What can I do, I can't go backward after using iphone and ipad. That is something you need to decide - not that I am advocating for apple products - but setting some standards; and if you can get something better on the market, why to settle for less. Of course considering price factor is another thing.
