      Well Diwakar , its a good choice who require only tablet for entertainment. In this price range.. none of company provide 3g facility inbuilt.. but it support 3g dongle.. you can’t make normal call but can use skype or other VOIP services for making call. otherwise some company like olive pad , reliance tab etc provide call functionality.
