I read a really bad news:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/25/samsungs-original-galaxy-tab-10-1-renamed-the-tab-10-1v-thicke/
The "thin" version will not come to UK
Probably it will come, but we don't when after the US release.
Anyway, if we import the Galaxy Tab "thin" version from US to Europe, let say UK, we could have an issue with "power" connection, right?
US is using 110v ...
Usually, this is no problem if the power adapter is "generic", which has voltage range between 50v - 240v.
Now, this tablets are using "proprietary charger" connected to proprietary dock, which I can guess this charger will only work in US?
I am pissed if this is true. What's wrong with Samsung! Why can't they release a product faster after announcement, to the whole world!

I wouldn't worry about it, I am pretty sure that it will come to the UK, they probably have some customs or licensing issues!

they've only announced pricing and availability of the 10.1 and 8.9 WiFi. And said that there will be 3G versions but there's no information yet. They're probably working with the carriers right now. They have 2 months to figure it out I'd be surprised if they didn't have it available at the same time as the WiFi version.
theres always ebay
I took that story to mean that Vodaphone would have the thicker ones, not that only the UK will have the thick ones.

I'm really disappointed too if the thin 10.1 tablet doesn't come to UK. Having said that, I really don't think this will be the case because UK would be a popular market for this tablet so Samsung would only be shooting themselves in the foot by not releasing this. We may get it in UK after the US release but I'm fairly confident it will come here.
One thing is for sure, if Samsung take too long releasing it then the uptake won't be as much because there will be news of the next generation of tablets with even better hardware. News is already floating around for Tegra 3 quad core chips due to come out Summery 2011.
I have been looking at the specs for this as my first tablet and one thing i saw was that there is no HDMI out ... Now this seems like a pretty important feature that i really think it should include. so if it doesn't ... well that'd suck
No HDMI out on the 10.1v.
I don't know about the 10.1 though.
-EDIT-
It may support HDMI out through the proprietary port in the future, since it can output a video signal from there.
Are we talking about 10.1v or the new one?
I haven't really looked in to 10.1v too much but as far as i can remember it did not have HDMI out.
10.1 got MHL standard port that got USB 3.0 and HDMI capability. I would have prefered HDMI out but this is not at least total propieraty. Got a actually check how much exactly are there existing stuff for the MHL.
I think i would go 10.1 not V ... also would have to go the ipad route and get some weird adapter ?
As per the specs, even the 10.1 doesn't have HDMI out

As you can't use HDMI, mini-HDMI right out of the box, yes will most probably need some adapter.
Though MHL is just not some proprietary thingie thought by the great heads of Samsung so hopefully we would see cheap docks, cables or adapters.
Here's wiki page about the MHL.
I'm kind of a between with this. The port itself looks like a great thing, but it's just so new that there doesn't seem to be much stuff out for it yet.
Well, the MHL will work out fine for me since the evo 3d also has the MHL port

HDMI/Charging Dock
Back in March at the Samsung Event at CTIA Orlando one of the accessories mentioned was an HDMI/Charging dock. The 10.1 Tab will not have a HDMI port. Only port on the unit will be microSd or SIM slot when 3G version is released.
Another accessory mentioned was the USB/SD card reader adapter.
I guess we will have to wait until May 24th with the Samsung event in NYC.
Here's the video of the keynote address by Samsung.

IDK About the 24th, I feel like this will have something to do with a Kindle tablet or a new Nook Color. But I'd love to have more on the 10.1
EDIT: Now that I think about it, won't that be the day before the pre-order opens? Most people don't know about the 10.1, so it wouldn't surprise me if Sammy tried to get tons of press for the 10.1, along with launching a new TV campaign after the event. I just tweeted Samsung USA about possibly having more on the 10.1
EDIT 2: Re-Watched the video, he mentions an accessory that adds HDMI out.
10.1 v has the same connector as the Galaxy Tab 7" . For the galaxy tab 7" you can get a dock with a HDMI out. Maybe a similar dock will be made available for the 10.1v

Well, just found a few sites saying they'd found a price sheet saying 16gb xoom was "coming soon" from verizon, but it hasn't happened yet. Who knows, maybe it will?
I would think that by the time the 16GB wifi model would come out, the specs would be a bit dated, and for the same price there would be a more desirable model.
Can we expect this upgrade ? or will 10.1v be lost in time with 3.01 ?
I can not imagine that Vodafone (in Germany) would not update the 10.1v to 3.1. In the past they have usually often upgraded or updated the firmware of the phones that they have sold. It would'nt be a smart move to leave the early adopters behind ...
Well we have a few good modders already with 10.1v so I canonly assume those great guys would be all over converting and 10.1 upgrades. And don't forget Samsung joined the google alliance thingy saying that any hardware that can Support updates will be updated for 18 months.

You don't have a 10.1v version.
The v version was the first tablet loyal Samsung customers bought.
And what did they get in return!
Nothing.
After 2 months still on 3.0.1, not even using my native language.
I got my tablet updated to 3.1 out of the box.

Really! When did you buy this 10.1v?
TouchWiz on it too?
How is video playback 720p mkv, can you tell something about that.
I bought the tablet about a week ago.
Yeah, TouchWiz on it as far as I know.
The native video player doesnt play mkv any good since it doesnt have the codec but downloading a videoplayer from the market fixes that problem.

Sure it's the 10.1v And not the 10.1?
The 10.1v doesn't appear on the samsung sweden site, and on the Telia site they show the picture of the 10.1v, but with the specs of the 10.1 (and refer to the 8.9).
Citrusbomb, can you post your model number.
Settings/about tablet - Model number.
So I'm interested in getting an unlocked Galaxy Tab 10.1 w\ GSM support, so I went out on the intertubes and searched it. I'm seeing there's a 10.1 and a 10.1v that have "GSM support" which I'd assume are quad band and will work with GSM frequencies around the world?
I'm curious if anyone knows where online or offline these can be purchased. I read that people had bought them from Vodafone UK, but going to their site it shows they're not even released yet.
Thanks!
3G (GSM) version of Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not yet released. It will be released in Europe in the beginning of July. Can be purchased then from Amazon.de or notebooksbilliger.de for around 600 EUR (3G, 16 GB version, no microSD slot)

Does Amazon.de deliver to the US?
What's the diff between the 10.1v and the 10.1? I remember reading that one was the thinner model, but can't remember which was which.
Thanks!
Not sure about Amazon.de delivering to US, but most probably they dont.
Because Amazon.com does not deliver to Europe either
The new one is 10.1.
The 10.1v is the old one (thicker), so don't buy this 10.1v.

Elaborate...
Um, 10.1V Had around an hour more battery. 3MP Camera compared to 8MP is nothing to 'lol' about either.
EDIT* The only thing better about the 10.1 is that's it lighter and thinner.
10.1v is the old model, why do you want to buy older model?
10.1v is still not officially updated to Android 3.1, and we don't know when it will get the update?
10.1v is thicker, this is personal and I like the look of the new 10.1
10.1v has 6800 mAH battery, the new one has 7000 mAH
10.1 has cool flip cover:
http://www.androidcentral.com/flip-case-samsung-galaxy-tab-101
Sure, the 10.1v has better rear camera (8MP vs 3MP), but I don't need that camera as I have my Android phone
So, those are some of my reasoning that enough for me to make decision to not buy the old 10.1v!

Or you can quote specs like they mean anything @ all as far as the battery. Is it really hard to go to Google and see 10.1V has better battery?
VERY good Camera
OR the fact that you can actually use 3G on the 10.1V?
I quoted the mAH number, that's all. Usage pattern might be different for each person, 10 hours yours might be 11 hours OR 9 hours mine
It depends on how do you use your tab, the apps/widgets that you have and the OS version (3.1 vs 3.01).
But, the mAH rate is something you can "compare".
This is the 10.1:
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1/spec.html
And this is the 10.1v:
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1v/specification.html
See that? 7000 mAH versus 6860 mAH.
And that's from the official Samsung website.
About 3G, both will have 3G model In Europe, the 10.1 3G will be released first, Amazon.de will have it end of this month.
Or are you saying the 10.1 will not have 3G model?
About the camera, the rear camera, I don't care
As I don't use rear camera on tablet anyway. I will look like an idiot making photo using that big device hehehehe. I use my phone for making photo!
Oh and I really like that cool flip cover of 10.1 !!!! LOL

Can't be mad with your nicely toned reply. But, what I am stating is the 10.1V is in all aspects= the 10.1 and having a 8MegaPixel Cam(Although im not a photo freak) and the ability right now to use a Sim card makes it superior. 3G 10.1 coming next month is not for U.S.....
10.1=10.1V I only am defending the 10.1V because the person told the guy not to buy it like it was a worse product...
Well, I am just stating facts and my opinion regarding both. I think that's clear from what you read here.
As it is my opinion, I think I am free to say that, telling anyone to not buy the older model.
I assume the OP can decide him or her self, whether to buy or not
I am not enforcing or anything. This is an open forum and I give my opinions with all my reasoning.

Odds are also, the GSM version being released in EU will not work on the US 3G bands, rather just the regular GPRS or Edge bands (except for Tmobile in some areas). ATT uses the 850 band, which is not used in EU.

Oh, I didn't say to buy one!
Just letting those that talked about US releases know that it's near.
Wifi and unlimited 4G phone tether with Sprint works fine for me...
The European 3G version will be quad band, so it will support both EU and US frequencies.
This is the specs from amazon.de.
Some speculation: The US version will use the same chip, doing otherwise would complicate things and that wouldn't make much sense. The FCC only mention the US frequencies because those are the only ones used over there.
I'm planning on getting the AT&T version, and bring it back to Europe in August.
