Micromax Funbook

Finally recieved this tablet from another store since its not avalaible on flipkart yet(as on 16-04-2012)....been using it since a week now and now i guess i can tell u all the flaws basically since other reviews only tell you what already is written on the box or in the specifications,,,,,,,

First of all,the tablet isnt that gr8 to look at,i mean its "OK",nothing too good bout it

Secondly,mine went gaga while typing once,had to do a factory reset and been working alright since then,i hope it doesnt do that again,

Thirdly,web browsing isnt a gr8 experience,its "NICE" though

Fourthly,hardware buttons look like a cheap tablet buttons,,theree was no need to do that,i searched google and saw this tablet sold in open market by some other chinese name so basically what micromax has done is buy a cheap tablet,used the micromax stamp and sold it to us,typically Indian

Fifthly,camera sucks,o man its filthy,skype video call is a shame,i tried calling a buddy with a same tablet and the sound was like barking dogs and video was like green strips,rest u guys can imagine,i felt like smacking the tablet in the wall(yes it does have a inbuilt microphone)

Sixthly,it does make u feel every now and then that its a 6k tablet

NOW THE GOOD THINGS(keeping in mind it costs only 6.5k)
screen brightness is good and the touch itself is very nice
youtube works flawlessly
ebook reading is nice too
gaming is a good experience
applications start w/o lag
i din find the speaker too bad,they are nice,i like hearing some music and its nice to have this tablet around
android 4.0.3 ICS is good interface,just the feel of it is nice

if this is goin to be your first tablet u are gonna love the hell out of it but if u have used nything like samsung or apple or blackberry and u are gonna compare it to them then its gonna be hard for you to justify why u bought it.....as far as i am concerned i am giving it a 3 out of 5 stars.....a good tablet but nothing great....useful but not essential....cheap cool but not crazy.....if u cnt afford 25k tablets u should go nowhere else and buy this one straight....

The original tablet is ployer momo9 which has been re branded as micromax funbook the tablet is excellent and gives a good battery backup for more than 3 hrs. Plays HD videos very well. Those who have problem with skype its not micromax problem it is problem with the skype app with the recent android ICS tablets i dono why people just blindly accuse the brand without even thinking or trying to solve the problem google for the compatible versions and install it and the issue will be solved. Regarding the dongle being only supported of tata photon this is not true exactly i used my own 3g service with aircel sim all you need to do is follow these steps

1. With the given Extension card for connecting the USB port connect your data card.
2. Go to Settings--> Select More--> then Mobile Networks
3. Enable Mobile network and also enable data while roaming.
4. Click on the Mobile networks, in that you can see "TATA" with the dial number #777.
5. Click that, it will go inside that option,
6. Then Scroll to the user name and password section.
7. Select and enter your user name and password of your datacard

I hope my review would have helped many.

PS: Buy products of which you are aware of don't blame the manufactures or the distribution brand for it and for gods sake learn to use GOOGLE before posting unwanted things.

Its An amazing buy at this Price (Rs. 6499), I bought It The day very fast to get a glimpse of The Micromax Tablet After the success of The Superfone Series.
*The Tablet is extra smooth thanks to the 1.22 Ghz A8 Cortex Processor.
*Backstab HD, Asphalt 6 HD, And Nearly All High Graphics games work seamlessly Thanks to the Dual-Mali 400 GPU (Used By Galaxy S2).
*VGA Camera is surprisingly great, seems like a 1MP Atleast according to the Picture Quality, great for Skype, And other Video Chatting Apps.
*ICE CREAM SANDWICH Is simply amazing much better than the Honeycomb, Though Design is pretty Much The same, Adding Additional Widgets Really Improve your Home page.
*1080p Be it AVI, MKV, OR even 3D Movies (Red/Cyan) work Smoothly, The HDMI Port is a Superb Addition for HD TV's.
- Battery Could have Been Better, lasts for 4 Hours on Full Usage, But On Standby Can Last for 10 Hours With Moderate Usage Occasionally.
- 512MB Ram which reduces to 400 On Software Should Have been higher.
GO FOR IT SURELY NO DOWN SIDE AT THIS PRICE

micromax giving a modem of tata photon tablet only support that modem u are not able to use any other modeom and tata photon donot accept any simcard u have to give 500 rs per month for the data of tata tablet didnot support any orther modem in that situation you are only able to use tablet on wi-fi . this ting is not aviable every where . if you are in university where 24 hour wi-fi is working then u purchase this otherwise wastage of money because for a student spending 500 rs per month is not possible and one more thing for taking tata photon you have to pay 500 to tata for activation overall internet using on this tablet is tough job . but you can purchase it if you want to read ebook or want to watch movie or if you have wi-fi then you can purchase it

haha.. i got it recently... SKYPE DOESN'T RUN THE WAY IT SHOULD,,, WE GET A CLEAR VIDEO OF THE INCOMING CALL... BUT THE OTHER PERSON SEES PINK LINES INSTEAD OF OUR VIDEO FEED... i called the micromax people they said they have some issues with skype and working on it...plz do consider this before buying.. and TANGO DOES RUN BUT IT HAS VERY SMALL RESOLUTION AND WHEN TRIED TO MAXIMIZE IT.. THE SOFTWARE STOPS RUNNING! OTHER WISE IT IS A BRILLIANT GADGET.. BATTERY BACK UP CROSSES 24 HOURS ON STANDBY.. AND 7-8 HOURS ON NORMAL USAGE WITHOUT INTERNET.
