Pros: A smaller and much easier to carry sequel to the IPad2, benefiting from newer industrial design elements and technologies introduced in the fifth-generation iPod touch. Generally very solid build quality and highly attractive fit and finish, relying on thin but strong glass painted in either black or silver, plus an aluminum rear shell. Runs virtually all of the over 700,000 apps in Apple’s App Store, including the 250,000 designed for full-sized IPads. Includes a 7.9” screen that looks as good as the IPad 2’s, and IPad2-like run times, while weighing around half as much as Apple’s full-sized tablets. Users will find either landscape or portrait keyboard size to be nearly ideal for virtual typing—easier than on full IPads or IPhones. Available in the same capacities and LTE cellular options as full-sized IPads, including the same Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4 wireless technologies, without compromises. Includes two bona-fide good cameras, stereo speakers, and an integrated microphone with Siri and Dictation capabilities. Cons: Battery on Wi-Fi model falls modestly short of Apple’s 10-hour claim under some circumstances; cellular run time similarly falls below 9-hour estimate. Base $329 price tag is a little high, especially considering the additional expense of Lightning accessories and Apple’s decision to pack in an unnecessarily slow charger; $130 cellular premium remains somewhat steep, and arguably less necessary given the increasing availability of smartphone personal hotspots. Screen, while considerably better in colors, blacks, and viewing angles than would be expected from a Pre-Retina display, falls short of Retina pixel density an issue in only certain situations, particularly when dealing with very small text. Rear camera is a hint behind current full-sized IPads despite similar specs. While comparable to the last two IPads, the A5 processor inside this model is just as responsive as the most recent IPad.Read full review
Found this unlocked mini on Ebay and the unit looked like it just came out of the factory. Since the unit is unlocked you can use any carriers card without getting locked up in a contract Wifi works well and has reasonable speed for a small unit plenty of storage with a 32gb hard drive Good value and price very happy with unit

I love it! It didn't come with the SIM card installed, so that has been a bit of a hassle, but oath wise it is great! I also have the 64 GB IPad with retina display, but no cellular. I love the mini because of how much lighter it is and how much easier it will be to take everywhere.
Excellent. I am using it without a sim card , and location services are great with g3. Also since I have an iphone, there was not very much to learn to be productive.
