Chic, elegant and just a few blemishes, but ...

Video at Amazon.com See supplement on 04.10.2014:
There was an update to the operating system. Since you get no more Trojans message. So far so good.
I've uploaded a movie that provides information on the mounting of the cover sheet for the SIM card. Even after umpteen attempts I am not able to mount the flap completely tightly. There remains a gap, the duly creaks on pressing. Who has a protective bag that's recommended only because of the projecting lens, can get over this incorrect fitting lid. Who uses the tablet as it is necessary, should a tape over it stick, so that the door does not fall off and then is gone.

Acer-people, I recommend that you try them out such mundane things like this flap ONCE itself. Or better yet: The next consumer fair you should assemble and dismantle the flap in front of audiences - then would quickly remedy in sight.

Sorry, the following aspects have been in everyday use but result that should be mentioned:
1. The camera on the back is on your lens. Hence, if one simply puts the tablet on the table, there is a risk of scratching the lens.
2. The image quality of the camera is surprisingly good, even close-ups succeed. With a mediocre compact camera, the tablet can keep up.
There is a protection software MfAfee 3. On the device. This indicates that on the device is a Trojan. The Trojan can not be removed and is even after a reset back. I've downloaded the trojan through apps themselves, I can rule.
4. There is a calendar on the Iconia, which synchronizes with Google calendars z. B. on the PC. On the PC I have set a deadline period of 15 minutes for my appointments. The appointments are indeed transferred, but in the normal display you recognize only the color bar, the writing becomes visible only under magnification. The S4 from Samsung, which has a much smaller screen, the display in the 15-minutes-grid gets back loose.

Generally speaking, therefore currently a sad picture. Trojans, worse Calendar - because it was at Acer probably not very carefully at the product vote.

Since the applications mentioned so now represent really no special case for extreme users, I change the rating of 4 stars from 1 star.

If I should succeed to remove the Trojans but I would play 2 star, then to 3 stars.

A picture of the Trojan message is attached at the product description !!!

End of the complement

The Iconia comes in an unassuming little box, but it was still intact. About the technical features I need not write much, because much is in the product description or called by other reviewers already.

Commissioning, also once unsubsidized card was fast and easy. Shortcoming of smartphones, as well as the Tablets of course is that you have to share its data on every corner and every place. There are also numerous already installed apps that you can not delete without further advertising and on almost all apps.

Other apps that you might really need are NOT available. As a file manager, a ASTRO File Manager to chumming, but in turn, would like to cooperate with AcerCloud. So without app you can not even see how many images you have gespeicher!

Basically, are you from the control of the device when you first turn already to the Internet companies. But that is not much better at Apple. Nevertheless: A tab that comes without compulsion installed apps, would earn the same one star more. On top of that I was suddenly drawn to the updating of Acer Apps "Acer Store" by McAfee to a Trojan that was rid of only by a reset of the device (at least I hope).

But back to the device to which it's all. The external processing is impeccable. The device has no sharp corners or edges, it is very comfortable to hold. The rear of the device is divided into two. The main section is made of aluminum and can not be removed. To insert the SIM card and an SD card you need to remove only a small portion of the back, which works quite simply. However, the Restarting was extremely fiddly and only in really very careful placement of the plastic part with the small retaining tabs the device is closed again.

After all, one can use the cards without first remove the battery, as is often common in smartphones.

The image display is gorgeous, much bigger than the smart phone. Websites can already be represented quite well and Firefox is probably a browser available, the more reminiscent of a normal PC as what you get offered the 5-inch smartphone.

Playback of music done in good quality. Bass and Stereo be missing because of the construction, but it sounds undistorted and clean.

However, deductions when making calls. If you switch this loud, the speakers croaks like a bad B & W film from the '40s. But the distortions probably come forth not from the speaker itself but of the control. Since I'm used to from your phone much better!

Technically, the Iconia is a fine thing. The fiddly cover (which after several on-off cycles probably should also abort) Referring times approvingly accepted. From the features and usability are missing some apps, others are not deleted and the ACER cloud must indeed be something very special when they ingratiate with every change on the tablet.

Field of application for the Tablet scents not so much be the mobile application, but the convenient Internet surfing at home without the hassle of cables and on the smallest possible nevertheless acceptable font size.
