Hi I was wondering if that would be a good move? Still in the 2 week remorse period to take back the Mytouch and get the Galaxy Tab and use another phone without data plan for the voice/text part.. Why and the Why Nots are welcomed. Thanks in advance.
I was hoping for an answer too. I was thing of doing the same thing!

In the same boat myself. But I'm going on vacation this weekend, and I'd be, essentially, phoneless for a few days. I tried out the tab at the store, and was a bit underwhelmed. But, that may have had to do with the fact that they didn't have it set up properly; so I couldn't access any data-needed applications.

Just curious - anybody out there also have a cell phone addiction? LOL People think I'm nuts to have both a T-Mobile account (love the ability of unlocked phones, sim swapping, etc..) as well as a Sprint account (love the coverage). Anybody else out there double dipping?
I try to save the most amount of money possible (even considered at one point switching to Virgin Mobile for their $25 per month plan on the intercept) so theres no way in hell I'd have two different cell phones.
I can give you a list of rehab clinics in your area though if you'd like
Im not on 2 carriers but this cell phone **** is getting out of hand with me I got the nexus S yesterday im done with obsessing over this.
People are starting to think I do for buying this phone without a plan.
...Honestly, I told myself I'd use this Wifi-only. But it's just such a waste, I need to start looking at cheap data plan options... Maybe T-Zones?
Okay, I have a problem.

Having 2 phones or 2 services for that matter isnt a problem if you are using them. I know a lot of people who have work phones and personal ones.BUT if you use both as personal phones to make the same calls, then its a bit obsessive. You could have bought something similar like a laptop and do basically the same thing as a phone minus the talking.
I may not have accounts on different providers but I must have bought like 5 different phones this last year only. I started 2010 with an iphone, then by March I finally saw the light and got rid of my iphone and got a Nexus One with at&t. By august I upgraded to a Dell Streak with its gorgeous 5" screen, but a month later wanted to go back to a SAMOLED screen and got me a captivate. Unfortunately I couldn't get used to the smaller 4" screen so by December I got the at&t tab, which has been hacked as a phone, and so far I'm loving it.
Nevertheless, I think I have a problem. Is there anything like a therapy group for people like me? Help please! :-$

I'm not an addict! I can stop anytime I want!
... I can!
.......... I just don't want to. <_< >_> <_<
I also am not on my fifth phone this year!
First and foremost I love my atrix for the most part..but the question is do I trust AT&T to make good on the HSUPA or do I return the phone this weekend before Im stuck in two years of possible down/upload hell in my area I typically get 500-1kdown and 90-200kup my thirty days expire this weekend so I guess its time to make a decision. Your opinions and thoughts are definitely welcome
Well I mean it is your phone and your experience, we can't really tell you if you should get it or not.
If you're happy with it, that's what matters; if you buy any ATT branded phone then you're going tto run into this (4G phones obviously)
I didnt mind for the upload and download speeds, I just didn't like the phone itself.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
I was more or less interested in others thoughts on rather or not they believe AT&T will eventually do right by their non-iphone users..because to be honest AT&T is already one of if not the most restrictive carrier now in addition to that they offering sub-par service
Its hard for me too. Im thinking of calling up ATT and seeing what they will do for compensation till they fix this issue. Not only is my upload bad but my download seems to get capped. If I run one speed test its good. The next right after are slow, around 300kbs down. Its horrible. Im kind of mad at them right now and I hope they fix this crap.
Inspire is a good choice. I sold my atrix on eBay already. A locked cellphone is a dead one.

The phone does not get 4G speeds. It's false advertising if you ask me. I would return it until they fix this.

Why did you even purchase it? You knew this before you bought it LOL.

Sometimes returning a phone is not as easy as you think. Restocking fee or shipping and handling fees really hinders people. I'm still deciding whether I should keep the Atrix or not.
Keep or not Keep, that's the question.
So this is not a completely phone-related question.
I will soon be moving, and it's been a year since I started with Optimum, so they are going to charge me extra for my internet. I am going to have only one roommate instead of two, and I'm broke as ****.
I'm sure you've heard this story hundreds of times before.. I need cheap internet, as fast as I can. My phone is rooted and I can use it, but of course, it comes no where close to where I need it to be. Leeching internet from Sprint is only good as a temporary solution, but not a long term one.
I am going to live in an area where there's no Optimum WiFi coverage and no other cable companies - no Fios either. What would you offer? What have you done that has worked for you in the past? I need some advice please...
you wont want to hear this.but hughesnet is probably your only option......satelite is your last resort
Att?

I'm sure me and a couple other users are wondering about this. I have VZW primarily, but use a media net INT. HOX when I'm out of town and service drops off. I'm looking at tossing the HOX and going Nexus again. Anyone care to shed some light?

Yes it should work, Galaxy Nexus still works with medianet so this should as well

Not all GNex's still work on medianet. :/
If it does, I will buy it without thinking twice, giving the low US pricing.
Is there any more information regarding this?
It worked for a while but it seems people have been switched to smartphone data plans recently. Seems the jig is up.

There's already a few threads on this subject, and yes the jig is up. Quite a few of us got detected and bumped this past week. I decided to call in and change my plan back, just to see how long it'd last, I've actually managed to go for a few days now so far without being bumped again. But I imagine I'll get bumped again sooner or later, at which point I'll have to make some hard choices.
I'm not going to bother whether you'd still buy one or not...I think i know the answer :laugh:
I had been leaning HEAVILY toward an ipad mini as my first tablet.
Talk me out of it
I'd prefer to stay with android so I can root and have all my apps and the things I know and love.
However, I just haven't found a form factor that i like. The 16:10 is just too skinny on the 7" IMHO.
Then i found out about this 7.7 and I'd love to have one.
I actually only need the wifi version but that looks harder to come by??
I'm on ATT. On the GSM version, can I just take my sim out and use it for data in the tablet?
Besides those questions, how would you pay for your tablet if you had to purchase it today?
I'd pay the $350 a ipad mini would cost me.
However, the ones I see are $450+

I'm browsing these forums because I'm eying the refurbished Galaxy Tab 7.7 Verizon 4G on eBay for $250... so I'm guessing you can get it for well under $450. Considering returning my Nexus 7 for it...
I saw some wifi only for buy it now or best offer on ebay. Not sure I want to go that route from Taiwan. I wonder how much vzw would charge outright without month to month. I bet if they would have kept the price down this thing would have been hard to keep in stock...

The pictures is this ebay ad show the 6800...
you see the green telephone icon in the lower left??
The 6810 doesnt have that..
"IF" you get the 6800.. then YES, you can move your ATT sim card there and BAM! An exact duplicate of your smart phone and it's features...
including phone calls, receiving phone, send and receive TXT messages and mms.. everything your existing smart phone does.. same phone number..
it all followes your sim card.
I do it and many others on here do it too..
BUT, you cant do it with the 6810 or Verizons version..
they dont have sim card slots... good luck
6810 is wifi.
6800 is wifi+3g
Sch-i815 is VERIZON wifi+LTE
As stated earlier, you can have wifi AND full phone functionality with the 6800 with your at&t sim.
Don't get the i815 unless you have service with Verizon or unless you plan to use it for wifi only. You can only get data service (phone functionality is disabled) with the Verizon i815 if you have a Verizon account on the stock rom only.
If you want to use cyanogenmod or aosp roms please note that our tab shares most of its internal hardware with the international galaxy s2 and international galaxy note, which means full jelly bean butter is not functional until Samsung releases the right source.

I paid $400 for mine... New from Verizon a few months ago and I still think it's worth it. The iPad mini isn't really a consideration for me, even for $50 less.
But I think the 7.7 is pretty close to perfection.
I had p6800 from end of January. Then at the beginning of December, I broke the screen and needed to decide what replacement devicebto take. I liked Ipad Mini for form factor and casing. But ultimatelly the iOS and poor specifications put me off. Nexus 7 3G is nice but the screen is too small. Anything that is 8.9 inch or larger is too large for me. So I bought another p6800. It is significantly better than the original as it does not suffer from yellowish discoloration of the screen which the original had. I think there is still no competition for p6800 out there (if you don't care for high computing / video generating power but you need smallndevice with good /though somehow dark/ screen and battery life).

On the verizon website it doesn't have an off contract price. Do you buy month to month and cancel? There are activation fees and first month charges.
Thanks for the feed back folks.
Btw I thought there was a jb leak on the international note.

If I go with just wifi does it matter what model I go with? I'll be rooting and checking out the roms available bit probably stick with cm. I use mostly 3rd party apps. I'll load nova launcher, boat browser Swift key and enhanced email for sure.

Well, I decided to bite for $250. Versus the Nexus 7 that I have for $200, the extra $50 is worth it to me for the screen alone. I'm not going to be using data so I don't care about Verizon vs. AT&T etc. concerns.
Ahhh. You are tempting me! I'll sleep on it.... 250 really isn't a bad price. I'll probably do it lol!

Ok, 7.7 has captured my affection.
Y'all saved me from iOS!
Looking forward to my first tablet.
My galaxy note might become jealous....
I have had my P6810 for 11 months now and there is still nothing out there that comes close IMO. Thin, light, brilliant screen, expandable storage.
Those guys were quick. It's already been shipped. I'll have to wait til tomorrow I guess to see when it will actually arrive.
Looking forward to it

There was no contract when I got mine for $400. I am paying the $10/month to have it on my plan but I can drop it any time I want.

This tablet is beautiful man. I just acquired a nexus 10 and I'm having a a hard time deciding on changing my setup from galaxy nexus/gtab 7.7 to gnote 2/nexus 10. The nexus 10 flies like you wouldnt believe man, but the non-portable size and non amoled screen are keeping me from leaving this tab
Sent from my SCH-I815 using xda premium
Thanks. I'm content with my purchase and can't wait to get it, root and have some fun. No buyers remorse....
I do love my galaxy not phone. Don't think I'll be changing it any time soon.
I thought pretty hard on getting the nexus 10 but I know it would be too big for my first tab. With a 5.3" phone it would be hard to 'just' go to the nexus 7 but i did like how it felt in hand. I almost went I pad mini to broaden my tech consumption with ios but at the end of the day I know I'd want to customize it too much
