I'm getting a bit fed up, I have the tab but I don't (and won't) use a SIM card, I have a phone for that!
I cannot access the readers hub, I cannot access the samsung apps and the most annoying thing is that I cannot buy or even try the Gameloft games made for the tab as all of these don't work without a SIM, why do these people limit themselves and why don't they want my money?
Very stupid

Should have waited for the wifi only tab. Sorry about your luck.

Let me translate for you:
I say old chap, perhaps you should purchase a paid in advance Subscriber Identity Module for use in your new device. Then, as you desire, you may deposit ten pounds Sterling for times of need.

Dude, get a pre-paid, load up ten bucks or whatever if you need it, you're set.

don't think that will work either, each "site" requires a SIM to be in the "phone", I told Gameloft they were stupid for restricting it and stopping us from spending money on them, they told me to stop insulting them and the games in the market aren't optimised but I can buy through their site even though I've already told them I can't. This was their 2nd reply after the 1st one said they can't help me without my receipt number, what operator I'm with and when I ordered the game(s)
great customer service!!
I know you said that you won't use a SIM card, but it does seem like the simplest way around your issues.
I don't know if you're in the UK (posting from Tapatalk), but surely a free PAYG SIM would do - you shouldn't even need to put any credit on it (though I'd recommend TMo 6MONTHWEB for £20).
Seems like it would be a whole lot quicker and easier than dealing with Gameloft!
Regards,
Dave

Quite right. Apologies.
Heh, I'm a Yank, I didn't find the remark offensive.
As a country, we are very American-centric, which is understandable since we're so freaking large and so freaking isolated from the rest of the world by water.
Doesn't make us any less annoying to the rest of the world, even knowing that.
Brits have their own set of annoyances they seem blind to as well, though they're getting better about it, and hell, they're even refrigerating beer these days in some places.
The Canucks can be annoying too, but they apologize so much you just can't hold a grudge for long. Well, for anything but Celine Dion. They still must pay for that.

What, might I ask, are Canucks? I do however know that I don't like Celine Dion either.

Hey there,
I have a UK Standalone Galaxy Tab (Unlocked), all i have done is put my old PAYG Orange SIM into it, with no calling credit. I use wifi only and all apps work for me

I did the same with my orange PayG SIM until I decided to get a rolling data contract on Voda (30 day contract of 1GB for £10).
Does anyone know if bell has any pay as you go data? I wouldnt mind checking sim card only features as I wait for an unlock code.

Hi, sorry just wanna ask a question about T-mobile Nexus S.
I want to buy Nexus S from bestbuy without a contract with T-mobile. Is it already unlock or not? the price is $529.99
Thx so much for the help
I believe all of the Nexus S' are unlocked. I might be wrong though

I found this on a T-mobile forum page. I don't know if I can post links yet so I'll just quote it:
There is no "locked" version.
They all come carrier "unlocked.
One is with contract and one is without.
This is no different than the N1.
It's not a Tmobile branded phone but Tmobile is only offereing the service

yes it is unlocked..now go buy it.
thx all...

And hopefully best buy is cool. They treated me badly here... Sucks because they lost my business in the future.

ok so we are using this thread for future reports on bricks.. also u tell us the chip if its bad or good, the color of the phone and the screen if the good or the bad...

You can file an insurance claim, and hope they accept it. I don't know of to many people of any who have recovered from this

The only thing you can do is just boot into recovery and attempt to get the serial number off of it. prior to doing anything with it.

I am also unfortunately in the same boat, good screen but the bad chip(go figure). was thinking about trying to get a replacement from tmobile, but dont want to risk getting charged $200-$300 if they find something that voids the warranty

I've been thinking about unrooting, due to having the bad chip. I wonder if it's possible to get another phone when you do the insurance thing if it cost less than the MT4G. I heard the new ones are shipped with bad chips.

There's no guarantee that you will get the good chip(Ol Sammy) instead of bad one(Ukn company lol), it's just 50/50 if you ask me .But Im not saying that you "will" get one with the bad chip, but I know others who "recently" got theirs and it has the bad chip and their exchange device followed suit. Im curious if the colour you buy is related or screen type.

Actually it's my sister who got the ticket, but still ....
I was babysitting tonight
When my sister came by to get her son, she was waiting in her car and tried to call me 20 times; didnt work, so she had to come upstairs to get the kid, and got a 52 dollars ticket in the process - I live downtown so she had nowhere else to park
I am so going to go ******* on Rogers and force them to pay for that ticket
Or give me a free iPad
