Huawei S7 Slim Tablet new OS?

[jarrodr]

Yesterday I took out a Cell C casual chat contract at Makro, that comes with a Huawei S7 Slim Tablet. For R79 p/m you get 100 off peak minutes and 100mb of data.

The thing that sold me was that it was 3G and had a dual camera. 1GHz CPU and 512 Ram. I know its never gonna be a Galaxy or IPad

Now that I have it, what are the latest roms and OS I can install?

There are only a few (<5) that I'm aware of, but the advantage of installing it is only to add a few fixes IMHO. IIRC there is no OS upgrade that has been specifically designed for the Slim:

This last one MIGHT work. Just make sure you installed openRecovery (from AndroidTablet forum) and have your original firmware (easy to find, XDA and AndroidTablet forums has this.)

R79 for sure? or R99? Was it advertised anywhere or found instore?

This (sounds) a great deal--!
Is it possible to add more data packages to this deal--say buy the 2GB extra and load on top of this package??

Will check out the links for the OS at home, thanks.

Yup R79 (included in price is CLI and Billing), check the latest Makro Sale paper on the very last page.

Thanks, found it on http://www.makro.co.za/content/MNAT3284_1to16.pdf (5MB). Pity it is a Makro special, rather go to a CellC store. But R20*24 = R480 is a big saving. R79*24 = R1896, but the cash price is R3299 on prepaid...

So sweet deal!

Use it, don't use it. I went to China Mall today and got myself a case for my S7 Slim, the exact one as in tabletworld. For R150. Sweet.

So i'ved noticed that Cell-C sells the S7 and Macro the S7 Slim. I didn't thought that there was a difference, but look here:

Macro's one, just check the picture on the PDF and compare:

Cell-C's one

Will there be a noticible difference in performance etc? or is it only cosmetic?

Edit: I've notice the normal S7 is resistive touch screen and the S7 Slim Capacitive. Resistive is a negative....

Rather see http://www.cellc.co.za/deals/featured - they have the S7 Slim. Since October I have only ever seen the S7 Slim on flyers and in store brochures. I think Hellkom has it incorrect - maybe they think the S7 & S7 Slim are the same device.

Well all is not... well on my contract, Cell C hasn't loaded the data plan onto the contract. I logged a query and now waiting for feedback.

On the cell-c link of yours, if you go to the S7 slim, the picture is not the S7 Slim, it's the normal S7. Do you think they made a mistake with the name or the picture?

Logged a query last Thursday and I will get my data plan, I tell you.
