Which Tab to get? - Galaxy Tab General

I am in the market to buy a Galaxy Tab. Any suggestions on which carrier has the Tab that's easiest to root and/or has more add-ons (ie more storage/memory)?

No question - get the AT&T version.

Wait for the flyer

No mention of the flyer making phone calls yet though

If you would like to make some calls, AT&T is your choice, although is the more expensive of all the galaxy tab line

import a euro tab

[Q] ATT Galaxy Tab with IPAD Sim

I have an IPAD with $30 unlimited plan. On the 21st ATT is releasing their version of the Galaxy. Can I use my simm off the IPAD on the Galaxy. Now that would be kick ass...
Thanks
If you use an adapter, it should be just fine, though AT&T might be tracking the IMEI numbers of their version of the Tab to prevent this.
Apple kickbacks are sort of helping cover the costs of that plan, and you can bet Apple won't be too happy to see it used on non-Apple devices.
AT&T has said they are going to offer the same "iPad" data plans on the Galaxy Tab, so they probably wouldn't care if you swapped SIMs.

Yeah, but I think he's got one of the old plans they're no longer offering.
Micro. I just bought a tab. Put my Att berry sim. It did not work. Also, I couldn't connect to iPhone or iPad running my-wi.
WTH
R u saying you can't use tethering the Tab & iPhone? There is a post on how to use Ad-hoc wireless on the tab and it works. Either in this sub-forum or the General one.
I just picked up an AT&T Galaxy Tab and it works fine with the iPad sim. No need to change the APN either. I'm using a grandfathered $30/mo unlimited plan too.

I was wondering the same too...i put my att ipad sim in my rooted att tab and data does not work. Dont know much about roms but im told this is a euro rom. The tab hands down is a cooler devivce and i would love to use it with my ipad sim...any help would be appreciated
Ipad uses a MICROSIM
Tab uses a plain SIM
You will have to get an adapter.

which tab is best?

I have a tmo gtab. Mainly because it was the first one that came out. Of the 4 that are out there now, which one is the best. What features are different among the 4 carriers. i know the data plan pricing. are the only main differences some preload apps that each carrier has? just curious which one everyone here thinks is the best one.
With the at&t one you can flash the euro Rom and use it as a phone + 3g. It wins.

Correct me if Im wrong but if you don't have att service wouldn't you need a voice plan or a current plan to swap sim cards? If you didn't wouldn't they eventually find out you are using free minutes?

Probably an unbranded, unlocked european one, so that you don't lose your waranty just for wanting to make calls with it.
Personally, I think the extra price for the 32GB version isn't justified, so I went for the 16GB one.
Seriously considering returning my TMobile Tab for the ATT one.

[Q] Tethering TMO Galaxy Tab (original) with ATT Galaxy S2

Hi, I've searched through this, but I have not been able to find exact information. If you do, please feel free to point it to me - i will delete this thread.
I have been owning TMO Galaxy Tab (original) for a year now and I am getting Galaxy S2 from ATT because Amazon offered me it for a penny. I am wondering if anyone has tried to tether with ATT phone. I already read many post that ATT detects tethering traffic and forces customers to pay for tethering plan but the most I have seen so far have been with PC or with iPhone. My case is a bit different, I think, since it will be Galaxy Tab and Galaxy S2, but I want to check if anyone has been doing this. Being Tab user for a year, I am pretty sure I want to use Tab once in a while, especially for the navigation. I am thinking of paying ETF for Tab's 200MB plan, if that makes sense economically, that is.
Thanks!

Galaxy Tab 7.7 versions

Hello,
I'm eyeing down a Galaxy Tab 7.7 but i'm in a fuddle with versions. As far as i can understand, aside from 16/32/whatever HDD versions, there are a few main ones:
-P6800 which is the international designation for the WiFi/3G version and is more expensive.
-P6810 which is the international designation for just the WiFi version and is cheaper.
-GT6800/GT6810 which i have no ideea what's different about it from the P's. Is it still just a P6800 just named GT-P6800/GT-6800 on some sites?
I so wish end-clients would have more easy access to model numbers and options instead of just blindly buying "a Galaxy Tab 7.7".
There is no difference as far as I know from the P vs GT. there is also the LTE version of the 7.7 which has 3G and wifi as well.
If you need 3G then get that model if you will not need 3g, wifi model is fine, that is the one I got and happy with it apart from honeycomb.
True, and LTE which is Verizon's version afaik but which is not something i'd want to pursue, being an EU guy.
But yes, 3G is a must for me.
The Verizon SCH-i815 variant does have the IR blaster.
The gt-p6800 no ir but I did get 32gig.

Confirmation of features before I buy....

I need an "all in one" I'm too dependant on them now. So I have the Galaxy Tab 7 (first gen) and it does everything I need. I'm looking for something ...Shinyer?
But I need to make sure the Tab 7.7 or Tab2 7 can make GSM Routed Normal Phone calls. I do not need to hear about skype/google talk/grand central/VOIP. I need GSM calling and SMS just like on my current tab.
ICS would be a bonus, but I understand the Tab 7.7 is getting it within 2 months? Samsung said 2nd Quarter (thus ending in June)
Any confirmation on any of this before I dump 600 bucks???
Thank you all in advance!
Yes, the 6800 with 3G has a Phone app, with which you can do phone calls and a Messaging app for SMS.
The P 6800 is a 3G tablet and the phone works well. If you get the P 6810 wich is only wifi, then you won't have a working phone

Do both the 6800 and 6810 have the IR blaster?
I believe only the Verizon LTE 7.7 has the IR blaster, the international 6800 and 6810 do not.
And the ICS timeframe is as vague as ever, but should hopefully come about within the next 2 months or so.
I have an I9100 right now...could I drop my data from that and move it to the p6800 on AT&T?
