General Observation & Verdict
N1 Tablet from Nokia is an impressive & refreshing product. At price of $250-$260 a 2GB, GPU powered, inbuilt 32 storage makes it a very powerful competitor to Samsung, Asus, Lenovo & Dell tablets available in the market. However this tablet does not have SIM slot for calling or 3G/4G and hence it can only be used in WiFi/Bluetooth environment. Most of the people in South Asia will prefer Tablet that has a calling facility and SIM slots so that they do not have to rely on WiFi zones.If you want to use this tablet for indoor browsing or gaming, watching movies etc, this can be a great replacement of iPad from price point.
