Hey guys and gals, just seeking your thoughts on the Galaxy Tab Wifi, not looking to start a versus thread. I LOVE my Xoom but I don’t love the size, the weight isn’t an issue, I think I could go for a smaller screen size though. Still not totally convinced a tablet is for me but I think I would use it more if I could slide it in my back pocket. So here goes:
1) I see a lot of Roms for the Galaxy tab but they seem to be geared towards certain versions; CDMA/GSM, etc. The same for Kernels, will these Roms/Kernels work with the wifi-only tab.
2) What do you guys think about the Galaxy Tab in general? Any deal-breaking issues out there? Nothing seems to stand out from scanning the forums.
Thanks. Looking forward to your comments.
As far as custom roms and development on the Tab goes, you're best bet is a GSM based Tab. I love my Tab (Sprint) for what I use it for. I do wish there was more options for custom roms/kernels but for my purposes (other than to keep me from flashing my phone as often) my stock rooted Tab works fantastically. The 10" tablets are just too big for my liking. Like you said, it's better when you can just slip it in your pocket and go. Not sure that the GSM or CDMA roms/kernels would work with the wifi only version, you'd probably run into the same brick issues that happen if you try and use a GSM rom on a CDMA tab and vice versa.
As a guy that went from Asus Transformer (gave it to my mom) to a Gtab Euro GSM, it's awesome. I love the smaller size of the GTab. Like the poster above me, I would recommend you get a GSM or CDMA GTab, then hack it to be able to use it as a phone. Why? Just cause but it's up to you. If you have an unlimited data plan, then why not, right? All the ROMs are for GSM/CDMA, so I got one. No point in getting a Wifi only when there are no ROM's & Kernels for it.
Hope that helps & best of luck in your decision.
Thanks guys. That helps a lot. You're right, there are no roms for the wifi version, just searched through the development section. Think it's time to start shopping other versions... Don't want to add a second line to my plan though.

You don't have to add a second line. Buy a Verizon GTab on Craigslist & only use wifi. I only use the phone function to show off to my friends to get a good laugh, I'm always using wifi.

I have the refurb Sprint Tab that was on w00t a couple weeks back, and while I am a sprint user, if i want internet on my Tab, I can just tether it to my phone. Always on wifi with it otherwise. Don't see a need for a 3g data plan on it myself. If you keep your eyes open, there's deals on them all the time. For a while At&t was selling refurb Tabs for $250 and no contract, it was a month to month data service you could cancel whenever.

That's right.
Also, the carrier ones have a better processor and gpu as well.
Call Tmobile, they have an Even More Plus plan that is no contract and they give you the tab for $300 (if you sign up for a $40 plan), just cancel prior to the second month and you have a GSM tab for the Wifi price.
If you are interested in chopping and changing roms then the GSM tab is the way to go... More developers and greater chance of new roms to try, CDMA has a more advanced version of Honeycomb (still Alpha though) but GSM version seems to be catching up...
Thanks guys, I'm pretty sure I want the galaxy tab due to its size and dev community on the GSM version. I think I'll go the pay as I go tmobile route. Time to move my beloved xoom....

One way to avoid it is to buy BNIB from Craigslist.org. That's where I bought my Euro T-Mobile GTab from. Anything $300 or lower is a good price.

It was an option when I got my tab a week and a half ago. Maybe it's only because I'm a current customer.
I considered waiting for the Xoom but really the ability to carry around the smaller tablet was the deciding factor for me.
if spacemoose gets 100% (80-90% is no bad) working HC on SGT . definitely SGT HC is better than xoom . Go spacemoose !!

Just pre-ordered my HD7 at MobileCityOnline dot com for $699(unlocked). Not sure if I like T-Mobile and hence I have AT&T, I will stick with AT&T.
However, once they have HD7 in stock, I will get an email and have 24hr to cancel.
Anyone else with lower price that you would like to share?
That sounds like a reasonable price for the phone.
Yikes, that's a fair bit more than I was hoping to pay. I was hoping for around $100 less, if not moreso. I spoke to someone at T-Mobile regarding the phone and while she wasn't sure of the exact pricing she said according to what she's heard it'll sell for around $500 full price, though naturally it'll be locked to T-Mobile. I hope that's the price it winds up being, though I wouldn't mind paying a bit more.
I’ve been considering doing the same thing. I’ve been a hard-keyboard/Tilt guy for a long time, but from what I’ve read, I think I’m now willing to trade the hard keyboard for the large display. But this represents compromise. I don’t understand why I can’t have both.
I’m sure you’ve done your research and confirmed that the device will work on the AT&T network.
Have you made your decision because you feel that the HD7 will not come to AT&T? With a price difference of $500, does the Samsung Focus with the super AMOLCD display not become a contender?
I’m going to have to hold off for a bit and see what happens.
Dave
Doesn't that mean you'll only get EDGE speeds, though? I did that with the Nexus One. Bought it when it was first released and only had 3G for T-Mobile, but I was on AT&T.
Eventually I made the switch to T-Mobile, though. Much better prices and unlimited data!
I believe they (AT&T v Tmob) both have unlimited domestic data. Unfortunately, I missed-out on AT&T's unlimited international data. Now neither offers this.
I would switch in a second if anyone offered unlimited international data. This is an issue of increasing importance as the new OS appears to me to be more WWW centric as opposed to relying on device-based memory. (disclaimer: this is a personal opinion of one who has never used the new device)
Tethering is also fairly important to me, but my gut is that we will see this feature relatively soon.

I'm positive AT&T only offers an "Unlimited" plan that caps at 2GB. After 2GB is used, you're charged 10 dollars per GB used.

I made my decision based on the hardware, and I don't think I like Samsung writing in the front and the back of my phone. HTC(3 letters: minimum) looks better on my phone. I would love to have super AMOLCD on my HTC, but larger screen is more important for me because I like to watch movies and surf the net.
Wow, I was hoping to purchase one directly from T-Mobile and they usually retail their high-end devices at $499. Hopefully that is the case.
i've seen it as low as $529.99 for pre-order
I am torn now.
After some research, I ended up liking Samsung Focus better than HD7. I guess I'll cancel my order and wait until one of this baby (unlocked or AT&T)

G2x was a great phone, and despite LG's various fails it was corrected by our devs. But, as a fandroid, you have that little voice in the back of your head making your life miserable when there is a nexus annouced, or even better hardware for that matter.

It's the GSM flavor, imported of course. Who want's to deal with Verizon and the mockery they have made of the Nexus brand? F*ck you Verizon, Google - I am disappointed in you for being Verizon's B*tch The European GN is the true Nexus.

I paid around $600 (after tax and all that) for my Vibrant off contract. The fact that this is penta-band and allows you to use it with any carrier is definitely a plus and if you pick good no-contract plans, you can easily come out way ahead of getting a subsidized phone on contract.

I was going to make fun of you for having an EDGE only phone.. then I looked at the 4g icon on my G2X which equates to EDGE speeds despite claiming to be connected to 4g....
Can I have your old G2X? Mine got scratches on the screen on day 2
The way it works is you sell the G2x for $200. Use the money and pick a contract phone with high resell value. Sell it for the price of the Nexus. Live happily.
The G2x is still sweet. But I'll probably pick a Nexus up on Verizon through work to save from paying a personal cell. Depends on development and issues. I'm still torn.

The GSM Nexus has a pentaband HSPA+ radio, meaning you will get 4G on both T-Mobile and AT&T
is a nice phone ^^
I have seen some of the threads with tech comparisons between them, but I wanted to get a feel from forum members as to what the better purchase is. I currently have a grandfathered unlimited smartphone data+text plan from AT&T, and I am ready to jump ship from my trusty Nexus One. My question is, aside from the obvious price difference, what is the better purchase in terms of user experience and potential ease of upgradeabilty? I will be using it mainly for voice, texting, light browsing, and some note-taking. My hope would be to try to keep the same plan I currently have.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Keep in mind if you buy an unlocked international version you won't have warranty on it in the US, unless you purchase an aftermarket one. Also, 3G near me sucks, so LTE would be great since I figure those airwaves are pretty uncongested for now. With that said, I have the unlocked version and love it.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I own both and have been comparing them side by side. On the plus side the at&t version has lte (and boy is it fast), a much better speakerphone (much louder and clearer), and feels very smooth when moving around home screen. On minus side the at&t is a disaster on video playback IMHO. I ran the same video side by side and the at&t is skipping frames. On MX Video you cannot leave it in hardware mode, have to put it in fast sw mode. Total opposite of the international. Google earth loads in about half the time on the international. I find it very strange that its so different. The mail app is better O. The at&t but definitely runs slower.
I have a buyer for my international but I'm thinking I may just return the at&t .

Performance over data speed. I have the money to spend (amazon points!) And ICS sooner rather than later would be nice.
I assume these answers favor the international/unlocked. Right? My follow-up question would then be if I need to change my current plan to get the most out of the unlocked Note. Or can I just keep my current one? Are all of the unloked versions created equal? Or should I be looking for a particular one? Are all of the ones sold at amazon w/o US warranty? And what exactly is an after-market one? Sorry about all of the questions. I just want to make sure I make the right decision.
Thank you again.

if ATT doesn't have your IMEI in their database, they can't detect your phone model. So just call in say you drop your smart phone in the toilet and you have to roll back to a dumb phone now, and you want the dumb phone data plan. It's 15 bucks a month alone, and 10 with unlimited family messaging ( 30 total for the package). I am getting 4mb~7mb down and 1m up with the data plan.
But of course, there is risk involve, and there were people got caught with doing this and most of them were nexus user since at one point at&t got a batch imei numbers into their database. Worst case is at&t will auto bump you to the 3gb/month data plan. and of course, if they start to monitor your traffic, it wouldn't be hard to tell you are accessing stuff on a smart phone.

Samsung CSR's have already said they will deny a warranty claim if you are from the US. There is an Amazon listing that says "US warranty" but I would not trust that to be true. But, I would definitely purchase one that is either shipped by or sold by Amazon themselves, because of their "no hassle" return policy incase you get a defective one. Good luck.
There are 3rd party vendors who will sell you warranties and insurance e.g. Squaretrade. They typically run around 100 for a 2 year warranty and roughly 50-100 deductible.
AT&T LTE just means you can hit the stupid AT&T caps sooner and spend even MORE money. Just get the international.

I agree with this, they roll out fast internet connection and they throttle unlimited data users at 2GB.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I'm not sure if this has been discussed here or not so I will post it. After June, if you want to continue your unlimited data, you will have to pay full price for the phone. If you take the standard subsidized phone, you will lose your unlimited data. It doesn't matter if your on 3g or 4g. If you want to keep your unlimited data, you will be paying $500-600 for your next phone (unless you buy it used) if you don't buy it before the end of the month.
I have already received confirmation email from Verizon verifying this as there has been much debate about the impact this will have. Basically what I'm saying is, if your eligible for and upgrade, get it now, don't wait, especially if you want to keep the peace of mind of not having to watch your data usage.

At this point, you will have to keep paying full price, or buy a used one. Anything subsidized comes with new contract and death of unlimited data for you.

This. I looked on Craigslist for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I found one for $185 in my area. Well worth it if I had the money.
this is gonna just come back and bit them in the ass, I will wait it out since I can't upgrade until March 13 anyway and I will see what happens but I will not pay full price for a phone, if I need a new one I will just switch providers and get a better deal for being a new customer and have to play that game, just like I do for cable tv

All depends on how you view the situation since on contracts they're making more money off of you since you're paying more than what the phone actually costs usually and have you locked in for 2 years unless you early terminate it.
Went in and talked to a Verizon rep today and they said I average 7gb a month. If I get the the 10gb data plan I will be paying right around the same amount for my monthly payment.

Android - I'm coming home! Now to find a phone.
Been looking at the Nexus 6 pretty hard. I don't want LG, and I refuse to pay premium prices for a Haiwei crash-o-matic piece of junk.
Spent some time at Best Buy today fondling a Nexus 6 - love the screen, love the feel, love the speed.
So, nearly a year after it's release, is it still worth it? Thinking about doing another 2 year with AT&T, which would make it $149, or $349 outright through Best Buy.
THoughts?
Plain and simple: Yes

Its as cool to have as an Indialantic beach!
People are still happy with their Nexus 4's for that matter, so I'd say yes, it's still worth it for the next 2 years. Although personally I despise 2 year contracts.
Most definitely. I have a Galaxy S6 and this thing blows it out of the water, except the camera. Way faster, much more support, better battery life.. Although I figured I'd get more than what I do. I'm keeping my eye out on the upcoming Nexus(es) but I have a feeling I'll stick with this and the S6 for awhile.
BTW I just purchased this about a month ago from Swappa. Couldn't stand being locked down with the S6 anymore.

Hmmmm... I just looked at the AT&T website - it was there last night, not there this morning.
I hope this doesn't mean they pulled it.
If they did my only hope is that they make the Moto X Pure available, but I am doubtful.

Get the unlocked version! That way you have options. IMO, over the next 2-5 years, we are going to see major changes in the way cellular, and probably all technology, services are handled. It would suck to be locked in for the next 2 years.
Im on Straight Talk for $50 a month and using AT&T towers in my area w/ 4g LTE. Unlimited everthing Full speed up to 5g and throttled after that. Unless you are grandfathered in on some amazing deal, being locked in always favors the carrier.
BTW, Best Buy has 6 month interest free financing.

I want the unlocked one, but funding is tight... plus so is the wife's purse LOL
She controls the money in the house so I play by her rules - happy wife, happy life!
Regarding the financing, I tried already - because I had a bankruptcy in the past 3 years Best Buy won't give me any credit (even though every other bank in the free world seems to be throwing it at me!)
My wife about cut me when I ordered our Nexus 6's because of the price haha! But now that she has one I doubt she'll let me get her out of the Nexus lineup from here on out. The Nexus community doesn't seem to die out like our devices often do. The hardware really isn't that dated. I admit the camera is a bit lacking on this device. Finding a case can be a challenge if you're a destroyer of phones like myself. But the speed, screen and speakers on this phone are amazing!
Case wise I had to get a unicorn beetle. It has saved my phone twice now.
I contacted AT&T via Facebook - all they could tell me is that it wasn't available right now - which doesn't necessarily mean that they will not have it again, just that it's not available NOW. Go figure...

New Nexus is coming out later on this month or next month. It's made by Huawei. Guess AT&T have just unloaded all their old stock. Amazon and ebay sellers are doing the same.
