We have received our first batch of N10 3G's! Just spent the whole of yesterday playing with it, very productive I know! Here’s our review...
The tablet is identical to the normal N10 deluxe and the Ampe A10 (who also do a 3G version), apart from the downgraded built-in storage which is actually around 3GB once you consider the pre-installed stuff and formatting. That’s the first annoying thing, the others are:
The good points; its great not having to remember, connect or wait for a dongle to give you internet. The 3G sim seems to pick up almost instantly and connect. CoPilot works great, without wifi or 3G turned on, although even on this 2D nav zooming and manipulating the map is slow and frustrating.
Its a good first attempt at a 3G GPS tablet from China, but the new functionality needs stronger hardware to run it, unless you have the patience of a saint. The tablet is £10-£15 more expensive than any other tablet we sell of similar spec (minus the 3G and GPS), the original Sanei n10 is only £135 with us!
However, in the real world we think people are unlikely to really use the stuttery GPS; a tablet would look ridiculous mounted to the windscreen of a car and equally stupid if you hold it walking around to navigate, so this function is most likely reserved for those journeys with passengers where the time delays and loading speeds aren’t such a concern.
If you want the most up-to-date high spec tablet from China available today then buy it, it’s one of the best around, but it’s like all new stuff; sometimes it’s worth waiting for the bugs to be weaned out.

- changing the theme takes all your apps from the desktop and restores a default desktop for that theme (but that’s an OS thing).
- iplayer and skygo still don't work (but thats common to all 4.1's)
- the processor isn't strong enough to run 3D GPS navigation software like Sygic
- youtube fails to load most videos and we needed to install an earlier version of the app
The good points; its great not having to remember, connect or wait for a dongle to give you internet. The 3G sim seems to pick up almost instantly and connect. CoPilot works great, without wifi or 3G turned on, although even on this 2D nav zooming and manipulating the map is slow and frustrating.
