No. It will work with you basic stock phone. Transfers pictures and contacts to a memory stick our sd card. Works great

I could not get this to work on ANY of my devices. Android, Linux, Apple, Windows, you name it I tried it and nothing worked. This is just my experience though, one of my friends did actually get it to work on her rooted phone using another some sort of extra app.

Yes, You can use ATT paid service for this. It is also possible to use for free, without rooting, by changing hidden settings. I found directions for this online.

The "cell tower" connectivity is back hauled over your internet connection. There is an Ethernet connection on the back of the unit that you use to connect to your router. The GPS thing is required for it to work. I'm not sure exactly they require it, but I'm guessing it has to do with their service areas or something. Calls and texts work pretty well, but you are going to have to get the little good receiver near a window. It has a fairly long cable, maybe 12-15 or something like that.

No. Minix has a custom XBMC install on their website which works of you install the apk. Don't need to root the device.

I've looked into that issue, but all I could find out is that the tablet has to be "rooted" in order for the newer version of the android software to be installed. If it is not done correctly, It could render the tablet useless.

My understanding is root only... I always google everything and thats what I came away with...

It is not unless the manufacturer has an update coming or unless you root it (voids warranty).

Just follow the instruction that came with the phone and activate online.That's what I did. No problems.

yes it does, it runs pretty slow tho and some apps get the "incompatible hardware" error if you try to install it. I think it has to do with the cpu which is probably not officially supported...who knwos. however it comes pre-rooted, you can just download the apk direct from the developer or find it online and thus far everything has installed and runs properly.

honestly I have no idea. I would imagine if you were to root it you possibly could...

It should function just fine use it as a dumb phone using wifi for data instead. Just keep an eye on the apps to see if they try to access cellular data.

I am pretty certain that this is in fact true. Just check with the provider if they support the phone. Mine did, and it works fine.

Mine is not rooted. I have a stock Google Nexus 4 and it worked right away. You DO have to download the controller's app at the Play Store (if you're on Android). It's simple to set up.

You didn't mention if you had registered the handset. It needs to be registered with the base unit before operating. The manual shows the process. If that doesn't work you may need to call vtech support for assistance.
