I bought uPlay PhonePad last week, and it was delivered in 3 days. Fast delivery!

I was thinking to use it with T-mobile plan, but it turned out our local T-mobile doesn’t use the frequency that uPlay PhonePad supported. I then tried AT&T, it works perfectly. I bought a bluetooth earphone, so I don’t have to put my PhonePad next to ear when I make phone calls.

Everything works. The quality of the tablet is also quite solid. I am a happy camper!

This product is really good. Carrying a stock android of 2.2. Although it feels almost like a pound but its just the right size for your pocket or purse. uPlay tablet really made promised on overall graphics of the tablet. i still haven’t fully dug into the tablet all the way. Very fast on WiFi. As for games is really great. I usually have all my movies and TV shows on iTunes, so there is no need to buy any from the media hub unless there is a reason if my show or movie isn’t specified on iTunes. The box comes in white like iPad box. A set of headphones, bluetooth earphone, the tablet, and a user manual. There is even an extra case as bonus! Battery power is awesome. Charged very fast charging. From a half a charge in about an hour. I’d say two hours for a full charge. As for camera, it’s no that bad. GPS is great! I’d say that I am waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich update for the tablet itself to experience the full force of a tablet. 2.2 is a good build on it, just not perfectly set for the tablet. There are apps that aren’t adjusted for it. But all developers will jump on track as soon as this tablet sells more often. That’s it for my review. Its a great tablet. It will not or cannot replace a laptop. And its a lot like and android phone, just bigger. I do recommend buying this tablet if your interest in one for yourself.

I was a Kindle fan until I discovered this device last month. I was speachless to learn how I can leave both my laptop and wireless broad band at home due to uPlay PhonePad being a multi-functional device. It can also serve as an internet hub. As a current iPad owner who also uses the Droid X, I must say that I absolutely love it. The size is fantastic in that its a signifcantly improved viewing experience over the 4.3 inch Droid X screen and it is easy to hold with one hand and navigate with the other – an added bonus is that it also fits in a suit coat pocket. I have been using it to take notes and read on the Kindle app since I bought it. I have a Droid X, which filled the need, but it is so much easier now with a 7 inch screen. The uPlay PhonePad is basically the size of three Droid X screens, so much easier to type and to read.

As a current iPad owner who also uses the Droid X, I must say that after spending 15 minutes with this thing I absolutely love it. The size is fantastic in that its a signifcantly improved viewing experience over the 4.3 inch Droid X screen (which is also great) and it is easy to hold with one hand and navigate with the other – an added bonus is that it also fits in a suit coat pocket.

The screen is very nice, speed is quick and the Google location services (GPS, Latitude, Maps, Place and the list goes on and on) are fantastic.
I would highly recommend this product.

Update – after 1 week of ownership, I love it even more. As someone who travels (4 cities over last 5 days), I’m considering leaving my notebook home on business travel with future trips. The benefits of the form factor can’t be overstated – it fits in my jeans pocket when out casually and in my suit jacket during business. I also watched a movie on my East to West coast trip – 3 hour and 13 minute move burned less than half the battery time. It’s also great to be able to modify .xls documents when needed – seamless integration with outlook / attachments.

I have been using it to take notes and read on the Kindle app since I bought it. I have a Droid X, which filled the need, but it is so much easier now with a 7 inch screen. The uPlay PhonePad is basically the size of three Droid X screens, so much easier to type and to read.

I haven’t found any apps developed for the uPlay PhonePad specifically, but most android apps I use seem to work ok or even better on the larger form factor. I am hoping, just like some developers have built apps just for the iPad, that soon apps will come out built to take advantage of the additional screen size.

It fits well in my hand, but with the case it does not fit in my pocket. I also find that even in landscape mode that I can not really type with both hands. I hear there is an optional qwerty keyboard you can buy, but I haven’t gone that route yet.

I have tested out using Skype as a phone and it seems to work fine – at least when calling people in the US.

This is not a review by an IT pro, but simply an end-user’s initial thoughts after a week of using the machine.

I put off buying an iPad because it seemed to be just an oversize iPod without the functionality of a laptop. I reckon that uPlay has produced exactly the machine that the iPad should have been and half price. It has all the bells and whistles, including front facing and rear facing cameras, Bluetooth, internet, wireless, GPS, micro-SD slot, etc, etc – oh, and it’s a really good cellphone. The Android 2.2 operating system is terrific and seems to be as intuitive as the Apple OS. I have all sorts of documents loaded on the Tab including Pdf’s, Word, jpegs, etc and they all open easily. The screen is sharp and is easy to read even in sunlight. The email function is really good, and attachments open without a problem. I have not tried the video function yet, so I cannot comment on that. However, the camera is nothing to rave about,as the resolution is pretty grainy, but I didn’t buy the Tab to take photos. The virtual keyboard is responsive and easy to use, however the unit is too large to do typing with both hands,and anyway, I plan to get a Bluetooth key board for use in the office. I have not tried the rear facing camera, but will do so as soon as I can load Skype. All in all, this seems to be a well-designed, quality built piece of kit.
