I got this tablet for $1 when upgrading my cell phone. So far so good. It's a little heavy but the screen is a nice size and the images are clear. It's a little slow starting up when you turn it on but is pretty user friendly and easy to figure out.

So far, I've had to return one of these for not turning on anymore after two days of use. Thankfully, it was still under warranty. The next one suffers from slowness, glitches where it sometimes freezes up or loses all data service suddenly and must be reset. It's an awful product. If we didn't get it for our kid as a bonus item to keep him quiet during long trips, we would be far more upset about it. I wouldn't pay more than the $1 I had to pay for it. It's also a very heavy tablet, far heavier than you would expect for its size. Oh, and the 8" size is too big or too small for most (or all?) covers. Good luck finding one that actually fits. Even the insignia-brand cover for 8" tablets doesn't fit it well, stretching out the rubber holding the tablet to the point of near-breaking.

I wanted something that was a little bit more than a smart phone, but a lot lighter and a lot less tedious than my Dell Venue Pro to carry around, and I found it. It needed to be Verizon compatible and not cost an arm and a leg. The Insignia has met all expectations. I carry it around a lot more than I did the Dell. It is a lot easier to use and does the little things I need to do while on the go. So far, no complaints.
