The camera is usually an area where budget tablet manufacturers try to cut costs, and unfortunately this is the case with the ARCHOS 70b Helium.
The 2MP primary camera lacks any kind of manual focus – you cannot touch the screen to focus where you want. As such, pictures are somewhat of a lottery as you have to hope that the 70b Helium knows what you want to focus on.
The lack of detail is also very obvious – a 2MP sensor (which takes photos at 1600×1200) is very poor for this day and age.

HDR mode is another let down – it massively increases the amount of grain in images, and makes colours distinctly cooler.
Is it possible to use this as an occasional phone, or does the sim (from whatever carrier) only allow for data not “standard” calls?

Well I went and purchased this.
To answer my own question, yes it does act as a full blown normal phone as well as 4G data. Overall very impressed for 70ish quid, works well and is really quite responsive. Its a bit big for a phone, but works just fine, but I would recommend getting a bluetooth to save you from looking like Dom Joly from trigger happy tv shouting into an over sized phone.
