[Q] Want To Buy A Galaxy Tab! Doesn't know where to buy!

I want to buy a 7 inch Samsung galaxy tab. I'll use it in other countries where I will use GSM sims. But I'll buy it from USA.
Can anyone suggest me which Galaxy Tab should I've to buy? (I don't know much about P1000, P1010, P1000T etc etc)
Previously I thought I could use GSM sims on wifi version of Galaxy Tab. But just figured it out that no gsm sims will have support for Galaxy Tab Wifi only.
I want to buy it at a cheaper rate. (like $250-$350) Where can I find this galaxy tab at the cheaper rate & which version should I buy? Any ebay links or product links where I can buy would greatly appreciated.
Besides, I'll use it on Bangladesh thats why it needs to be unlocked. So Suggest me those models which can be unlocked with no problems & I can use GSM sims on it.
Thanks!

I would buy the at&t tab as it has the hardware that has more compatibility. To get it in your price range, go to att.com, and buy a refurbished tab for ~ $300. Thats what I did three times. Good luck!

What means Refurbished? & Will I have to sign any contract with AT&T? If yes how more it'll cost? I'm mentioning that I won't use it on USA.

Refurbished means the unit was returned to AT&T and has been checked and returned to factory state. May even have been put in new box.
That $300 Tab is buy outright price. You won't be on an AT&T plan, unless you decide to sign up....

Thats Nice... Any Other Reccomendations?

No, thats about it. Good luck. Enjoy. It's an adventure!

It's Official - Streak 7 to get Android 3.2

"Erik Day, Dell's director of marketing for EMEA, has confirmed that the Dell Streak 7 will be getting an upgrade to Android 3.2 (Honeycomb).
Speaking to Thinq, Day demoed the softare on the 7-inch tablets at IFA 2011, but wasn't able to say when the Honeycomb update would come to existing Wi-Fi only Dell Streak 7s."

Can anyone explain me the reason, why Dell dont want Update the 3G Model of the Streak7

Because there is no 3G version. The 4G version is under the control of T-Mobile as to whether or not they want to upgrade it.

There is a 3G Version . Here i have the 3G Version-Sells by Dell in germany.
Without any brandings or simlock.

3G Unlocked version is for Europe http://www.dell.com/uk/p/mobile-streak-7/pd?oc=n00lg702&model_id=mobile-streak-7&

the retail/unlocked s7 3/4g's likely have a new rom.
If anyone has purchased a 3/4g in europe that isnt an imported tmo one could they post info on their rom/dump it with nvflash?

This might be a dumb question but when the wifi only version is released is it possible to flash that rom to a 4g model? I really could care less if I had any service other than wifi. I have never used a sim and never will-I bought it new for $100 and only wan wifi.

It should work but there's a pretty good chance that it will break all cell service (but as you mentioned that's not important).
Dell stopped selling the wifi only model in europe and only sells the 3/4g model there now.
If they release HC for wifi they'll hopefully release it for the unlocked 3/4g one sold there.
Did you buy it on contract or not? i'd like a $100 s7

Ah the uk one is selling both now, regardless previously it was only the wifi model available

Where can I buy a Galaxy Note 5 GSM Unlocked?

Help on importing a Note 5 to the UK
I was hoping I could get some advice on importing a Note 5 to the UK to use on the o2 network.
My sister is in Chicago for the next 2 weeks and I really want to buy the 64gb black note 5 but I need to know if there is a specific place I should buy it from. Can I buy an unlocked phone from any of the US network stores? Is there a particular version that won't work with the UK 4G network? Any help will be much appreciated.

The T-mobile version their bootloader has always been unlock, not the AT&T version. You have to wait 1 month before you can call T-mobile to get it unlock. I think you might get a service to unlock on ebay soon.

So can I just buy the phone outright from a tmobile store without a contract or anything? Also would samsung stores not sell them unlocked like apple stores do?
Thanks

No Plans For Galaxy Note 5 64Gb In Canada

No 64 Gb note 5 in canada
I've checked with all the carriers none have plans to carry 64 gb note 5 here in canada. Also they only have sapphire black for some reason for now.. dissappointed was looking forward to buying a note 5 64 gb I think I just might buy a note edge as it has micro SD support. Any suggestions?

This is such a disappointment.
I originally planned on upgrading to the S6 Edge Plus, since I never made any use of the SPEN from my Note 3, so I figured that was a logical decision. I just picked up the phone last Friday (the 21st - launch date) and after spending the weekend playing with it, I've come to realize that I absolutely LOATHE the curved edge screen, and decided to take advantage of Rogers' "Buyers Remorse" policy and return the phone for the Note5 instead.
Until I realized they only offer the 32GB variety. So then I was thinking, f#@% it, I'll just cancel my policy outright and go with a different provider, only to find out that NONE of the Canadian carriers are offering anything but the 32GB variant of the Note5. WHAT THE HELL? Is this 2015 or 2005? If I wanted a 32GB phone, I'd go with a goddamn iPhone.
Now I think I'm stuck with the Edge Plus, not that it's a terrible phone, I just personally don't care for the curved screen as it makes reading text and viewing certain things seem rather annoying, since it can "bend" around the corners of the screen (maybe I'm just used to a flat-screen device, and in time will get used to this thing).
I'm going to see if I can reverse the upgrade altogether and get out of my contract entirely, but knowing Rogers (and even though it's only been 4 days since I renewed my policy) I'm likely screwed or will have to pay $$$ in early cancellation fees. However, if it's feasible, it might be the better option, cancelling my plan outright, paying any and all fees and buying an unlocked or AT&T version of the 64GB Note5 -- rather than settling for a phone I dislike from the get-go.
Bastards.

yea i am really disappointed myself. having the extra space would be nice. however, there are ways to work around it. I have everything synced up to google drive with 1TB of storage. for daily use i never have an issue with space. when i go on vacation or am away from the house for a while i just access everything on gdrive and download it to my phone when i have watched whats on there already. its easy enough to find wifi in most places.

I checked with Samsung Canada and was told that the 64GB for the Note 5 will be arriving soon. They did not give me the exact date though.

yeah, I looked in so many places for a firmware. I currently have the T-Mobile firmware and I don't like it being the original Bell. Guess I'll just have to wait a little for SamMobile to release the Canadian version of the firmware.
About the root, if you use Netflix, you might encounter some problems. If you are stuck in loading, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-note5/general/easy-steps-n920t-aoge-odin-twrp-root-t3187422/post62539622#post62539622

I'm a total noob so apologies if this is a ridiculous question. I am also looking for a 64gb N5 for Canada.
I use Wind in Canada. Their web site says,
"The WIND Mobile network uses a frequency called AWS, with bands 1700/2100 MHz".
They list their 32gb Note 5 as:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS: B1(2100),B2(1900),B4(AWS),B5(850)
Now, there is a Taiwan seller of the Note 5 that offers a 64gb version (with dual sim) and they say the phone has:
Cellular Band (2G GSM): GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900
Cellular Band (3G): B1(2100), B2(1900), B5(850), B8(900)
Cellular Band (3G TD-SCDMA): B34(2010), B39(1880)
Cellular Band (4G FDD LTE): Band 1,2,3,4(AWS),5,7,8,12,17,18,19,25,26,28
Cellular Band (4G TDD LTE): B38(2600), B39(1900), B40(2300), B41(2500)
Note that 4th line, which contains AWS. However, it's also the LTE line, which Wind doesn't have.
So, what's the deal here? Will the Taiwanese phone work on Wind or not?
Thank you!

Was checking out the note 5 and s6 edge plus in a Rogers store today. They each have less than 10GB free! WTF?
I've gotta get off the Samsung train I think...

As has been stated before, the store demo phones are loaded with apps and stuff. A new 32GB Note 5 has approx 22GB free.

I find it very interesting that under internal memory it shows 32GB not 64GB.
I hope when you receive your Note 5, it's 64GB, but I have a funny feeling it's 32GB.
Keep us posted

Did you get anywhere on your original question? I'm trying to see whether I can update to MM (or N in the future) - but I have small balls for this sort of stuff. My phone works, makes calls, gets data (although always shows as on 4G when it obviously isn't) - but looks like it's some weird mongrel of a USA / CHN / HK build. Just about to request help & guidance
