I still have to get the Micro-SIM card from my carrier to be able to make calls. As for power, I have to charge it via USB.
Software wise, it's very sad how little they put in, but who knows, they might release some more stuff in the future.
Most of it is miscellaneous Japanese apps like calendar, all of which ignore the Eva theme, hampering the experience.
The Eva apps that they do include, like five of them, are mostly shortcuts to the play store. You click the shortcut and it takes you to the play store, only to tell you that app is not available in your country. Luckily, you can get around this by changing the Google account location to Japan, and then using the PC based Android web store to initiate the download.
The other sad thing is that the device has a nice 3D screen,
and you'd think they'd load it up with 3D pictures, but nope.
The only 3D things are a 2 minute video of Eva 2.0 scenes (this looks great, especially since they added depth to the 2D characters instead of keeping them flat on a 3D background) and videos of Eva units/angels rotating. I was hoping they would put the actual 3D models, but nope, videos.
Good luck finding a root approach. I wouldn't trust the shady files people put up.
In and of itself, self-evident.

It's the same as the standard version, I'm sure someone at XDA will cook up a way eventually.
And it's free!

My current collection is limited to 3 figurines, 2 posters and 2 wallscrolls. The figures are of Asuka (uniform), Rei (plugsuit, Rebuild) and Unit-01 (Rebuild). The posters are of Asuka (TEST plugsuit) and Rei+Mari (uniforms). The wallscrolls are both of Asuka, one plugsuit and one regular clothes. Each of these items was $10 or less.
I'm waiting to buy the series/movies in hopes that they'll release one giant collection, including the series, D+R, EoE, and all four Rebuild movies. I know that's pretty unlikely, but I'm sure they'll at least release a Rebuild box set.
I'm excited to see what Evangelion merch they'll have at New York Comic Con this year. I'll try to set a budget for myself. XP

Pair of Asuka and Rei Vispo kits. Why is Asuka wearing undergarments and Rei is not?

You have a phobia of pretzels? Must be a fellow gluten intolerant.
But seriously, I'm so used to all the various wacky merchandise that seeing them barely phases me anymore--unless it's something seriously out there (like that Nerv bucket or those Pen Pen boxers).

I'd buy the whole shebang and not eat them, of course. They're missing Mari. Chibi Gendo would be hilarious.

Time to start watching out for that set on eBay. Had this reaction when I saw Asuka in the tank top and military style pants.
