[REVIEW] A closer look at Reliance 3G Tab

Reliance is presently enjoying the limelight with the launch of its 3G tablet. The Reliance 3G tablet has been priced at Rs. 12,999, a move that is likely to kick off a fresh price war in the tablet segment.

Hours after the official launch, the telecom company has divulged the spec details and tariff plans for its new tab on its website.

Reliance has also come up with some bundled tariff plans with its 3G Tablet. The plans are meant for both prepaid and postpaid customers. For the tariff info head on to Reliance website or contact the customer support.

800 MHz in the era of 1.2 GHz dual core processor is quite weak. And the fact that RAM is not mentioned, I don't think it'll be more that 512 MB. My speculation is it'll be just 256 MB.
TFT-LCD WVGA screen is so 2005, but will go by the price.

Anyway I hate useless tablets.

And if we look at the brand, it comes out to be ZTE

I love my tablet, even when I have paid as much as double.
