      I have mine for almost a week now and all i can say is i am very happy with it. battery life on the phone is decent. docking the phone to the tablet it will take 2 seconds to load fully. you can set the behavior of the battery on the tablet if you want to charge the phone or just use the battery of the tablet. camera is quite good never tried the video recording on it yet. still have to test playing heavy games on it. the sound quality of the speaker is good. the display for me is very nice it feels like HTC one x. call quality is good, never tried speakerphone on it yet. touchscreen response is good. only thing i just notice is you can't transfer your apps to the sd card, it doesn't have the menu on the setting to transfer to sd card, tried already some apps but doesn't support the phone. hopefully some developers make an app on it.

      using it as a tablet feels like a whole different experience as it behave as a tablet and not a phone. the home screen changes from 4 shortcut icons (phone) to 6 shortcut icons (tablet). display is not top notch but still good. really loved sending sms on the tablet cause it has split screen on it.

      there is still a lot of things i still need to explore and learn from the phone and tablet. will try to post again my user experience on it also the benchmark as it can help other people. this is just based on my use, hopefully gsmarena would make a full review on it.

          gions, 19 Jan 2014Will the tablet work without inserting phone in it? No, the phone contains the entire OS? The benefits of this:
          1. You never need to synch the devices.
          2. You only need one account/SIM card, instead of two, as you normally would for a phone and tablet.
          3. The tablet can actually be used to charge the phone.

              I like it - modest, well designed, portable; I want one!
              what are the latest rumors - when is it going to be released?

                    Unhappy user of padfone2! I got a padfone2 on Mar2013.
                    >Jan05/2014: phone turn to be a brick
                    >Jan06/2014: service center (SHA-PRC) informed me that the warranty expired on Nov2013 (policy 1 year from Man.Date).
                    >Called the hotline (CN): they granted me an offset of 3 months after the man.date. So I requested.the hotline to informe the service center. After 5mim hotline called me to inform that the offset only offered to purchases in PRC and not Taiwan (probably purchased Feb2014).
                    > Jan10/2014: service center informed that the MBoard needs to be changed (cost 1,800rmb = 2,200hkd > new infinity cost 3,500hkd)

                    Conclusion:
                    (a) No global warranty
                    (b) Limited life spam less than 1 years!

So you install all your nice things on the phone, plug it in and have fun on the 7 inch screen.
