What's great about it: 32GB flash, solid build quality, price/performance, battery, game speed
What's not so great: No GPS, a few bugs even with latest 4.2.2 update, launcher a little sluggish
I had been waiting for a decent 10.1" tablet to drop below $300, and found it with this one. I initially bought a 16GB Asus Smart Memo Pad 10 for $299 and found the build quality disappointing. I returned it and picked up one of these. It seems to play current 3D games quite well with the quad-core MediaTek CPU, even though it's not as fast as say, the Tegra 3.
Accessories: I found a Lenovo-branded bluetooth keyboard specifically made for this model for $52 from another vendor and am very happy with it. Most of the writing on the box is Chinese, so it may not be marketed yet in the US. The keyboard magnetically holds the tablet in a compact clamshell when closed, and the tablet sits in a fitted groove when open. Amazingly, the box says this keyboard's built-in USB rechargeable battery can run between charges for 3 months (2 hrs/day use), or standby for 6 months! A folio case and screen protectors are also available.
The firmware is pretty good, Android 4.2.2, and has a few minor bugs. For instance, a Microsoft S6000 Bluetooth mouse initially pairs and works fine, but after the first time the tablet or it go into power-saving mode, the mouse is no longer detected and has to be re-paired with the tablet. I'm running build S6000_A422_101_019_130815_WW_WiFi. Also, there are several apps I like in the Play Store that say they are incompatible, so I sideloaded the ones I wanted (copied from my phone) using adb, and every one worked fine (?). Google Earth and WeFi Pro are two examples.
Trivial to root. No custom ROMs appear to be available yet (probably will be though), and CWM recovery is available and appears to require a special MTK Tools application to install. I hope it can be overclocked a little. As soon as CyanogenMod creates a 4.3 ROM or someone does a fairly vanilla AOSP ROM, I'll try it out.
Omission of GPS is disappointing but it's not too difficult to start a gpsd server on my phone and let the tablet connect via Bluetooth or wi-fi. Excepting Google Maps, the Play Store seems to flag most GPS apps as incompatible. However, every one of those I tried worked fine with a gpsd client and mock locations enabled in the debug settings.
This product is... responsive touch screen, Good sound quality, easy to set up, Perfect for Business, Variety of apps available, Sharp graphics, Easy to navigate, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold, great for the price
I would recommend this to a friend!

does this device has Sim card facilities ?

Can one access internet without WI_FI?
No, it's just wi-fi, but I set my phone to wi-fi hotspot mode and connect the tablet to that. There is another S6000 model that does have 3G but this one (S6000-F) isn't it.
