[TelstraKnowHow]

@ZerFish Go to the internet by pressing the browser icon on the home screen. if this doesn't work: -Have you activated the SIM? If not, call 1258880. -Are you in a coverage area? If using it on NextG, you should be able to see up to five signal bars on the top right of the screen. -Do you have recharge in your account [if pre-paid]? Find out by going on the My Account icon from your home screen or the following YouTube link: youtube.com/watch?v=WforRCCttr­M

How can u get free facebook?

[TelstraKnowHow]

@AuzzieIdiots Depends what you mean by ‘free.’ For example, downloads and uploads come off the data allocation. The app is free and available from Android Market but the T-Touch Tab also has a ‘Tribe’ widget. This offers some unmetered access to Facebook as well as Twitter and Myspace.

That was possible the worst tour video ever.

Why is it in "steps" ?

This thing looks like a piece of crap. Save your money, guys.

[TelstraKnowHow]

@timchurchward Maybe "steps" wasn't the best choice of words since we're aiming to highlight the features of the T-Touch Tab. What would you prefer to see in a tutorial?

I like Galaxy Tab better. Has 2.2 Froyo and is much lighter!

[lusciouspimp]

@bizzy85 Does not have flash on 2.1Froyo. Doesn't play flash. It was a misprint. They said so in the booker inside the box.

[lusciouspimp]

Android Gingerbread #FFW

[lusciouspimp]

@bizzy85 It don't play flash. Only 2.2 does. They made a mistake saying it does and they sorry. I brought it and the booklet says so.

[TelstraKnowHow]

@lusciouspimp Android 2.1 does not support Flash 10.1, but Flash support for the Telstra T-Touch Tab will be available with an Android 2.2 updgrade planned for the first half of 2011.

[9048benshelton]

what a joke of a product , not worth the plastic its cased in

[bizzy85]

It's a cheaper alternative to iPad but this 1 can make calls, SMS, thousands of apps, plays FLASH nd maybe upgradable to android OS 2.2 froyo, nd for $299 this is absolute bargain!

I'm glad I watched this - now I don't want one anymore.

Resistive Touch o.O How Lame LOL

[sirlacy]

I purchased the T-Touch Tab because it's not much more expensive than an EBook reader and it has more functionality.

It's by Telstra? No actually - it's a re-badged Huwaie.

The 7 inch screen makes reading ebook texts tolerable. Obviously e-ink is easier on the eyes, but the T Touch is colour. I have no problems surfing and searching the web.

I'm going to write a full review on Epinions, but the Touch is an easy to use multi functional unit that costs zero to run using wi fi. Recommended.

A wolf in sheeps clothing is still a wolf... This company is not famous for its telecomunication skills and also there is a very good reason why Telstra bashing is a national pastime.

[beau2425]

I want to purchase a Telstra T-tab, But with the web browsing, Can i view nearly any site?

[TelstraKnowHow]

@beau2425 Yes, like a smartphone you can browse any website – though since it’s a mobile device it will default to a mobile optimised site if available. And be careful with your data, accessing normal websites (as opposed to mobile sites) use more data than mobile sites.

[Reak55]

Im having a problem, I'm not able to download apps recently, says I have to try again later. Nuff said?

[AEX82]

apple try hard

[TheFungusKiller]

What a waste of $300. It's cheap for a reason...

1) The processor is 768MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon, and there's a resistive rather than capacitive touchscreen. The T-Touch Tab runs Android 2.1 rather than 2.2, and isn't currently capable of playing Flash videos from Web sites.

2) 2 megapixel camera with video recording. Front camera for mobile codes.

3) It's Telstra!

[BrockAtkinson]

@TheFungusKiller I'd still prefer to buy two of these and have $50 left over than grabbing a wifi-only iPad.

And just because it's Telstra doesn't necessarily mean you need to purchase a contract. It's pre-paid. And it's not even made by them anyway - it's made by a company called Huawei.
