T-Mobile SpringBoard Review

 |
When running the Quadrant Benchmark app, the tablet got a score of 1800, which is not the best out there, and the AnTuTu benchmark provided a mark of 5300, which is less what you may get with the Motorola XOOM, but the device still feels plenty fast when using it.
Conclusion:
For the current price of $179.99 after rebate, there’s a lot to like about the T-Mobile SpringBoard. Its Android Honeycomb experience is easy to use, and feels quick with the 1.2GHz dual-processor and 1GB of RAM. We also appreciate the 4G data speeds, which provide for fast web page downloads, and the 16GB of on-board storage gives ample room for your files. The 7” HD display also does a nice job with images and text, and viewing angles are good, though it can be tough to see in sunlight. The only downfall we find on the SpringBoard is with its camera, as images and videos look bad enough that it’s not even worth using. Alternatives are the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus ($70 more with a contract) or the budget Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet.
Software version on reviewed unit:
Android 3.2
Baseband: 3132
Kernel version: 2.6.35.11
Build number: S7-303UV100R001C201B026SP01

so you took 3 points for camera on a device that is mainly for movies,apps,and games?

Agreed, doesnt make sense to drop the score so low due to a camera quality. Is that really ever a deal breaker for any tablet?

Wow, this is pretty good, this was made by Huaweii? I'm impressed, or am I wrong about the manufacturer?

This is just the beginning. Chinese manufacturers (Huawei, ZTE, Meizu) are growing technologically pretty fast.
