FreedomPop Trots Out $89 Liberty Tablet

Oct 1, 2014, 8:00 AM by Eric M. Zeman

FreedomPop today announced a new direction for the company, as it plans to sell more low-cost hardware using its own brand. The first device to bear the FreedomPop name is the Liberty, a tablet that has a 6.7-inch screen with 1024 x 600 resolution. The Liberty includes a dual-core 1.2GHz Cortex A9 processor with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage. The main camera captures 4-megapixel images and the selfie camera captures VGA images. The Liberty supports memory cards and includes a 2,400mAh battery. FreedomPop is marketing the Liberty as a phablet, but it is limited to Wi-Fi and does not include cellular capabilities. Liberty owners will receive 200 voice minutes and 500 messages for free; both services will require an active Wi-Fi network to function. (Some of FreedomPop's devices include cellular capabilities and roam onto Sprint's network.) Liberty said a larger, 10-inch tablet with LTE, called the Frenzy, will arrive next month. Further, a FreedomPop-branded, LTE-equipped Android smartphone will show up at some point down the road. The FreedomPop Liberty costs $89 and ships today. Last, FreedomPop said it plans to offer the Samsung Galaxy Note II and Note 3 in the days ahead for low prices.

Don't buy this it doesn't make since since Frenzy is coming

I like the direction this company is going especially with more retail presence and more hardware both coming soon. However, this Liberty has only wifi for 89 bucks. I read on another site to get LTE they said you can buy a hotspot to pair with this for special price of 49. So 89+49 to get LTE and wifi equals 138 plus taxes plus you have to carry 2 devices instead of 1 equals pass. The frenzy has LTE and wifi for only 99 so wait on that one y'all.
