We're all nosy buggers!
If it were me I'd go for the SGT 7.7
As for where the screen repair can be done I have no idea...maybe you could try it yourself with a little help if you can locate and buy a replacement screen!?
Maybe a bit too big for you but I've played with the GT 8.9 and it is SWEET.

ive look at that but lack of support from xda is holding me up i had a taste of ics and realy want something with that os
I'd love to get the Galaxy Tab 7.7 personally, the AMOLED screen looks great and it's still portable enough.
Price is very high though.
As for the screen, I'd buy a replacement from Ebay and fix it myself, if that is too scary, you could try a phone repair shop or something.

Agreed.
I Googled it for a laugh and saw prices of over £550
...too rich for me at the moment
I'd recommend the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. It doesn't have the AMOLED screen of the 7.7, but it's wifi, off contract, has a microSD slot, and for $400 is a good price. I currently purchased the 7.0 plus to take the place of my aging OG Galaxy Tab and I'm extremely happy. It's like my 10.1, but smaller!
Hi,
I'm actually searching a new tab too.
I have seen the Acer iconia tab A100.
But I fear that the battery will drain too fast ...
In addition I think that the screen of the A100 is worst than the galaxy tab.
I have seen the galaxy tab 8.9 but it's not the same budget ...
I would also prefer the galaxy tab 7.7 for me it would be the perfect size. But its not available in germany and toooo expensive. Otherwise it would allready be mine

psssss....Amazon has them for $350 (The 7.0+'s I mean)
I was one of the 1000 lucky preorders that will receive a free galaxy tab wifi only 16GB.
The question is, do I keep it or sell it and buy something cheaper.
I love Samsung but its quite expensive.

Is it a galaxy tab or galaxy tab 10.1? If it is the 10.1, you're crazy lucky and that's a promotion I'm sorry I missed. If it's just the "galaxy tab" (and I suspect it is) it's worth about $100 on craigslist. Keep it if you want an e-reader, or sell it and buy a real tablet.
***edit: I just looked up the S3 (not the promotion, I don't see any sign of that existing). If you can afford $900 for a phone pre-order, why are you even worried about it?
Well, not harm doing either way, you can keep it as a spare, or a "toy"
I have 2 galaxy tab 7, still playing with it
Its the 10.1, and I love the phone but it was a big decision upgrading. It was carphone warehouse UK that did the offer btw.
well, then i suggest u keep it, u might not know if it will come in handy someday later
how...
how did you know you are going to recive the tab did u get a email or something as i also preorded it when the offer was still showing about 4 hours after launch and i have not had a notification about it ..

How is it "quite expensive if it was free ?
Wish we had a deal like that here in the Netherlands.

They sent me a confirmation text 2/3 days later.
And its expensive because I could sell it for £300+ and get a cheaper 10 inch tablet.
But do I want to loose the awesomeness of the galaxy tab?

It is definite a nice promotion that they are giving you a tablet. Good luck and have some fun with it
posting now from my free 10.1 tab...... And its brilliant
cool~~too bad there isn't such sweet deals at where I am...
very nice. And you can't argue with "free" though I would probably sell it and get an asus transformer TF300 for a bit more.

Did you end up getting a 16 GB? I was also one of the first 1000 but I received a 32 GB White model (and oddly I also received a 32 GB Micro SD which was supposed to be for the people who pre-ordered after the first 1000), both were completely unexpected as I thought I was getting 16 GB and had no clue about the MicroSD... Absolutely loving the Tab so far and my S3 is none too shabby either
I receive one as well, and love it! I wish ICS was out because I like chrome a lot.
By the way, Why would we sell this to get the Asus? Care to inform about the advantages?
Thanks

For those of you with an SG3 and a Tab 10.1, have you been able to use the Wifi Direct features?
I notice on my Tab 10.1, it does mention Wifi direct, but since I've never had any use for it or heard of it until the SG3, I'm wondering if it works between the two.
I pre ordered my SG3 here in the US, but still hasn't shipped.
Yes. Wifi direct is really good between the two. It's miles faster than Bluetooth. Well with using for anything bigger than a photo. Once connected it's so fast to send multiple files.

Hi there
I made this thread because everybody must have their story of how did they get the tab2
Mi \ne is simple-I just finished middle school with good grades and my dad bought me a tab2 7.0
So let's hear yours guys and girls
AndDon't flame and troll please
Good idea my story as i sold my ipad1 64 3g and put a small amount of money on the price i gained from selling and bought my tab2 p-5100 from a store near us with decent price no regrets as i had my galaxy s2 before and tried android system in it and found it more open and customized than ios of my sold ipad1

Got an Acer a100 Iconia tab

Got my Galaxy Tab the week it came out from the first batch at best buy here. It's good to know someone up there.
I liked the Acer. If the tab2 hadn't been there I'd still have it. Im glad I have what I have. I kinda wish it was a 10 inch. Anyone want to trade? Heh
I had some money from christmas,birthday etc and I wanted some cool android phone/tab which is not a low-end device such as my (orange monte carlo/zte skate(armv6,800mhz,512mb ram)) so i was looking for a good device for a decent price and chosen some products for e.g htc one v,xpera p or s or u,samsung galaxy ace2, but i really like the zte's "huge" screen(4,3") and my hands/fingers are also "not so small" and i didnt wanted a 3,5" or 3,8" then i decided to go with the galaxy tab 2 (p3110) and kept my zte skate(for phone calls and messaging) next day I went to a store and bought it.
bought a iconia a100 returned and bought a galaxy tab 2 7"
Traded a g2x at best buy and got 120 store credit and paid cash for the difference.

I sold my rooted NookColor on eBay for $165. Bought the GT27 from MacMall for $220 shipped on a 1 day special.
Happy with the purchase and the upgrade from the NookColor!
Went out to buy a nexus 7 and the store i went to didn't have any so i saw this ( my SGT2 7) and that was that
Almost had a punch up in the shop with the sales assistant and he was insisting i buy an anti-virus and a case for it. In the end i was rather rude to the guy and left in a bad mood , but once i got home and messed about with the tab i was feeling sweeeet !
Really hate shop assistants ( especially "tech experts")... they never know what the are talking about and just chat crap to get a sale lol.
Saw the Galaxy 2 7 at Best buy. Played with it, missed having a tablet, as I had given my Nook Color to my son. But then they announced Nexus 7
I saved in my birthday fund (gift for myself) for the Nexus 7, ignoring the Tab.
Then they revealed the lack of an SD card for Nexus, so I took another look at Tab.
Love it, no regrets
I'm now looking for 64 GB card, so YES i do need the slot!
I decided I was sick of carying about a bunch of different devices each doing different things and wanted to consolidate everything into one device. After researching tablets for about a week, I decided on on the GTab 2 and ordered it online. Because I live in China, the version I got was without many features available elsewhere (no access to Play for instance due to the Chinese government's disagreements with Google). I couldn't return it, but I didn't want to be stuck with a China-market tablet, so I looked into ways to 'fix' it which led me here. :good:
I was looking for tablet for about 4 weeks and actually decided to wait for the nexus 7 to be available in Germany. The other day I my brother and I were looking for some new PS3 games in an electronics market and I started to play with the tablets they had exhibited as I was concerned 7" are to small.
Long story short: I neither wanted a small 7" devices nor wanted to wait any longer. Quickly checked whether a CM10 nightly was available. Found it, went home to start the downloads and pick up my savings.
And here I am.

Well...I went to the darkside for a while and tried the iPad2.
I got a very good prices from my local dealer so I thought I´d give it a go.
But after playing around(or at least trying to play around) with it for a few days I feelt very limited and didn´t have the options and choices I was looking for.
So I went back to the store and swaped it for my current Tab 2 10.1, and I´m absolutely loving it...freedom and usability as it was meant to be !
I got a BlackBerry Playbook for Xmas for myself,loved the hardware but slowly grew more disapointed,so i rented some living space to a friend for a month, and bought this tab 'cause its the same hardware,just open source (good place to start learning dev'ing, is my other reason)
Saw the Galaxy 2 7.0 at Best Buy played with it and waited to buy the Student Edition, got the bundle yesterday and loving so much!!:victory:

What is a decent price for the galaxy tab and is it laggy or a good tablet for $250
Sent from AT&T Galaxy Note (The Machine)
Well I suppose it's the cheapest 10.1 variant at that price, but nothing compared to tablets running on Tegra 3. There's some lag here and there, sometimes in YouTube according to many users. For that price, I would personally rather get a Nexus 7.
Thx....i like Samsung though

If you don't care about TouchWiz, you can flash CM10 and it'll fly.

If your getting it for $250 (which to me is something like £180 ) it sounds like a good deal.
You'll have to know though that its not as smooth as the newer generation tegra 3 tabs and it does lag a little. I knew this buying mine but did so knowing that as soon as a stable/complete CM Rom comes out, I'm flashing it.
Any one who has tried the recent cm nightlys notices the massive speed improvements & it completely removes most of the lag.
In short its a good deal, you will probably be disappointed in it when you first get it butt as soon as the TW crap is thrown out you'll love it.

Just ordered my Note 8 (3G version).
I've had the iPad mini previously and I've been wondering for a while, what is the ideal tablet/phone combo. I'm presuming that I'm not going to use the Note 8 as a phone very often, so I'm going to be carrying around 2 devices most of the time.
I've currently got a Galaxy S3 which I'm very happy with, but I do wonder if the 2 devices will be too similar. I've considered getting a small, cheap phone to use just for calls and texts and using the tablet for everything else, but I don't have the tablet with me all the time, so I do need something that has a decent browser and a camera.
I'd be keen to hear your thoughts. I'm sure this topic must have been discussed before, but I did a quick search and couldn't find anything.
I was just thinking of posting a very similar question.
I'm currently using a blackberry curve 9360. Its an OK companion as I can use it as a mobile hotspot and allow my note 8.0 to access the web through it. I love it as a communications device. Good for calls, strong signal, good battery life, small and the keyboard is great for sms and other messenger services. where it falls down is apps though. There are a few available but nothing seems to work very well.
Im weighing up the convenience of the keyboard to the benefits of useful apps at the moment. If I were to get an android phone, id need to be able to use it as a hotspot, which i think i can do, and it would need to be small enough to fit in my pocket, so about 4 inch screen maximum. There doesnt seem to be any high end devices at that screen size though, Just lite versions of their larger siblings.
My contract isnt due for renewal until december so I have a while to search and contemplate though.

Best phone/tablet combo? Padfone.
I'm using the S4 currently. Not sure there is really any device with a huge advantage when paired with the Note 8. Personally I think just sticking with Android and Samsung between the devices is best. At least this way you can use more of the Samsung share features and of course all your purchased apps on both devices.

so you use a 6 inch phone and an 8 inch tablet? What do you use one for vs the other?

I am happy with the combo and find that almost everywhere I use my Note 8 I have good Wi-Fi.

I use this combo also, note 2 with my note 8. To answer your question, for me it's not so much a matter of designating each device to its own app per say, but more a matter of convenience. Basically, I reach for the 8 whenever I can, even for texting (mighty text), but when it's just quicker/easier, I go with the 2.

i've got the sprint galaxy note 2 and a verizon s4. i kept sprint when i picked up verizon (just before killing unlimited data) b/c i'm on a $50/mo sero plan. i should have gotten the note 2 for verizon also. s4 is nice, but i like the bigger screen on the note 2. maybe i'll get the note3 on verizon as long as they're root & unlock it and then sell my s4. i really should just drop sprint as their service in my area is total crap.
I use a S3 and a S4. I like the phones for all the things they do so well. The Note 8 was a impulse purchase due to AT&T having a bundling promotion when I purchased the S4. It replaces a Tab 2 7" and it far superior in display and I find the S Pen to be a real joy for use with spread sheets, drawing programs and the like.

Sprint Galaxy S4 and WiFi Note 8, although looking to get rid of the tablet because I just haven't found a use for it. I do have games and movie/tv apps on the Note because of screen size.
Previously I had the Note II and Note 8 but gave the Note II to my son (he has way bigger hands) and got the S4 for myself, which I'm really happy with.
Still in planning stage, but it will note 8 and one x
