I was able to resolve both the market issue and the gmail issue by performing a factory reset. I have however found out that if install any launcher at all, when I reboot th touchscreen doesnt work. To be fix i had to use adb to uninstall the extra launchers. I have tried with several launchers and all of them give the same results. I called huawei about it and the tech on the phone told me they dont support 3rd party software, but then again, the tech on the phone was a douche too... so i called back and got someone that would listen and is supposedly going to escalate the issue to engineering.
So with that being said, has anyone been able to install any launcher and have a functional tablet after a reboot?

i keep running into the same issue with adw and zeam. the default launcher is a pain in the a$$ especially since it is only landscape. responsiveness is also an issue. i hope we get a resolution soon.

You can get adb from here Android SDK | Android Developers
Here is a link to a brief rundown on what commands you can run: Android Debug Bridge | Android Developers
Here are the commands that I used:
adb devices - will show you that your device is connected. USB debugging mode must be turned on.
adb shell
cd /data/app
ls
rm *Launcher*.apk - When you run ls, you will see a list of files in the folder. You are looking for the word Launcher. When you have the name of the app, should be something like this: com.fede.Launcher-1.apk is you are using Launcher Pro. The name will be different for each launcher you have installed.
Replace *Launcher*.apk with the actual name of the file.
Then run the next couple of commands:
exit
adb reboot
This will reboot the tablet and you should be all functional. If you have multiple Launchers installed you will have to remove all of them from the folder listed above.
Let me know if you have any questions.

You will need to set up an APN file in the phone settings just as you would for the regular S7. Check the FAQ section for the S7 under phones. There is a very good tutorial on this. Just remember the slim was not sold as a phone but a wifi device only.

did you get any GSM signal?
AFAIK APN setting (preset or user saved) will appears if the system get "match cell/network ID number".
if you didn't get any GSM signal, system doesnt know what cell ID you are using, thus will not show preset or saved APN settings.
try to get GSM signal first, try select netwotk/search manually or try to change band GSM/WCDMA.
if searching/manually select network but you can not find any GSM network, perhaps something missing/not connected on your hardware.

I just bought a Huawei Ideos S7 tonight @ Best B. The cellular rep spent 25 minutes trying to stuff my SIM card in the slot, as he did it before with the last version of the S7. The black foam prevented this. However, reading here I see that it can be cut and the South African Firmware has the dialer program.
Has anyone had success as of yet?
I cannot find the Firmware on the Huawei Support site.
The 14 day return clock is ticking. If I can't get the SIM to work, I am going to exchange for the Samsung Tab 7 (wi-fi only). It is only $50 more ($349).

Ok I don't think the hardware is connected. I tried to search for the signal but it wouldn't pick up my simcard. Also I noticed the sim cards dont sit in the slot firmly so I think huawei muffed up the design and then chose to scrap it all. It's still a great tablet but I would love to use my 3g. Maybe someone can prove me wrong hopefully and find out if its possible to make this work
Maybe the contacts are not there. Do you see any sim tray connector plate once you removed the black rubber? Something look like this; Iphone 3G Sim Card Connector Contact Plate Repair Part | eBay
