NO SUPPORT from Southerntelecom.com/polaroidsupport
Why put a online app on a pad for support if u're not going to respond to the e-mails sent by customers. They say response in 24-48 hrs. Good luck, I bought the 1st PMID701c on 3-16 the 2nd on 3-17 the next day I started sending e-mails & have sent six with no response I even registered shortly after buying them. No HELP literally!!! I had questions about the non-existent Explorer app listed in the manual under Inserting a Micro SD card. U r suppose to be able to access the Ext SD card from this app. I know it can be accessed from file manager but every time I do all it shows is LOST.DIR 0 items| -drw this with a 8GB micro SD card in each of them. Both show the same. Everything is going to the internal TF card. Memory is slowly slipping away, & it shows the ext SD mounted on start-up & in file man. I've installed Flash Player for Android 11.1.102.59 archived ver & have Crackle, TV.com, & other apps all working on both pads, no conflicts. It used 12.85 MB but not complaining I would just like to transfer some of this including apps on to ext. SD. I am also waiting for the complete laymans working copy to root the PMID701c without the rw issues because I am d/l & doing all the test loads on my Pad, gave the other 1 to the kids fat chance of getting it back if I brick mine!!! Lol I am computer literate to a degree used to right code to DOS & try to keep up but seems tech changes by the second these days & u have to be a super brain to keep up I applaud all of u for what's been done & what u r continuing to do that's why I sought u out after NO RESPONSE from Telecom support. Keep up the good work & we appreciate u sharing with the rest of us !!!Tags: None

Check their faq section they say rom will not be released to general public only if you have locked your tablet
On another thread here, people have posted their experience when they tried (and failed) to get the 701c/701i images because they've locked themselves out. All a call to ST about getting an update because of accidental lockout got them was the runaround. This FAQ was copied verbatim from the models that DO have ROM updates available (PMID700/7200).
As of this date, other than the ROM image created by one of the participants here for the 701c (a 701i ROM image is under development), there are no ROM updates available from ST for ANYONE - under ANY circumstances. Dates for release of these updates keep coming and passing with no ROM images, and I am beginning to understand WHY; they're debugging some issues in the ROMs themselves.
There are those out there who will be upset because I keep saying this, but until these ROMs are released, if anyone develops a problem, the only recourse we have at this time is to return the tablet to its place of purchase.
If you can obtain these updates when no one else can, I'll gladly eat the biggest crow you can find.

The best way to get a response out of them seems to be to call them, via their customer support number. Their response to email requests for assistance has been spotty, and you can hang up doing it through the support section of their website.

Oh, believe me, I called them! To no avail of course.... They simply will not provide the existing firmware to anyone for any reason (they say they don't have it yet).The FAQ is a pure LIE - it says the firmware is available if you lock yourself out, but yet support tells you that it's not availble...
So, even when yu lock yourself out, they tell you that it SHOULD be vailbale by the end of the week.
THen a got a reply today from my email that I sent them the day I got the unit. That email says itll be 2 weeks.
It's al BS - I don't think they have any idea when they will have it....
