Before purchasing, I did a review between Blackberry, HCL and iBerry etc (wow, inspired by iPad and Blackberry?
Given the fact that at that point of time 50% off scheme was there and OS 2.0 was available, it took away some drawbacks of previous version. Now it had email client and very good market apps and android market compatibility. But the place where I fell in love was the clarity of display and all. Yes, all commands through touch and swipe.
Battery life is also good. I have installed Kindle and using it to read eBooks regularly.
I would say. Go for it if you need table for eBook, Video, songs and internet surfing.
