Well those are not S7 Slim shortcomings, more a problem with the underlying OS.
1) Contacts sync, if you create a new contact you can specify "Tablet, SIM, or Google" contact. I take it if you create a Tablet or SIM contact it will not be synced with your online Google account. I have not tested this but give it a spin.
2) The second one I have had problems with since the beginning of using Android. The application never gets sent to the phone. This is not a device flaw, rather a Android Market flaw.
It DOES charge via usb! Connect as per data connection - it then charges but ONLY when screen blanks...
Charge it via USB does work, however it takes long, around 8 hours. However, you have to switch the device off completely for it to charge via USB. You will then see a battery icon appear as if charging..

I did not see anyone answering you with regards to rooting, search for "gingerbreak" IIRC on XDA forums, one click root for the S7 Slim.

MTN PayAsYouGoSim in Ideos S7 Slim
Very nice budget tablet, allows for personal WiFi hotspots so thats quite awesome. Very responsive, one or two hiccups with orientation but all round its excellent.
Just one query, my wife got one and we tried it with a 64k MTN payasyougo sim,. it did not connect to network but when she put her old contract sim in (not 3G) it worked. Any remedies to using the prepaid sim? The MTN call centre is useless.

MTN had a problem with my sim in that it was never activated for use on the data network. While I was sorting it out another person with the exact same problem reported it as well, so just make sure that data is enabled on the SIM, if that fails as MTN to test a SIM in-store to see if they can sort it.

where did you order that from and how much for each of them things. im happy with the device as far as price is concerned, not the best in the world but it does the job. i read most of my technical books (pdf) and other stuff as well. is ther a way to maximise or read a standard a4 in full screen mode? anyone
