Good: Very competitive pricing with 1+1 year warranty. graphics powerful, screen is great, audio is loud stereo speakers.
Bad: Android keyboard can be annoying sometimes...now I'm using Huawei keyboard...much better. Google Navigation don't work in my country.
Comment: I fully charge it every night. Use it whole day with 3G on, gets push mail from company's MsExchage, Gmail & Gtalk...battery gets to 15% by 10pm...reasonably good for office use. While extensive media/gaming will drain it faster. Android has yet to provide support for the Navigation feature in my country...or else it would be perfect. Oh, you can also install a "phone.apk" & it become a ridiculously huge phone.

Good: Slim aluminium unibody, cool looks. 3G sim card slot inside. Expendable memory
Bad: A bit sluggish, battery life is mediocre 5-6 hours.
Comment: Been using it for about a month, hate tat it cannot run Whatsapp! Also had some auto shutdown problems on my unit. Had to go service centre to get a replacement. Had lots of problems contacting the service centre by phone. Cos they gave a wrong number on their Singapore facebook page! And their official website had no listing of their service centre. Then was given a faulty replacement unit. Had to go service centre a 2nd time. Just wished I do not have to wait any longer for more apps that is compatible with Honeycomb 3.2.
