is this locked to any 3g provider like Micromax funbook was to Tata photon?
No it is not tied to any telecom operator, you can use 3G USB dongle from any operator
Thanks for the clarification. I ordered the funbook and then cancelled it because it was tied to Photon. So the Karbonn seems like vary good alternative then. I can either buy a cheap tablet or iphone 3gs from aircel in the same budget… I want the tablet, but, my wife wants iPhone 🙁
iPhone is a good buy compared to this tablet. But again this 3GS iPhone is quite old. Consider it when buying. I would prefer iPhone any day than these cheap tablets
