Just got home from PC World in York with my new Galaxy Tab 10.1, I have to say that I love the look and feel of it compared to the Transformer that I returned a while back.
I was undecided about going for 16GB or waiting for the 32GB version, but after some thought I opted for the 16GB unit. I've got myself on the Google Music Beta so that's sorted, I may load on a few movies for trips etc but that won't be that often really. I don't think the storage limitations will me a major issue for me.
I'm aware that Kal-el is in the pipeline but this dual core should suit my needs, email, browsing and such. When Kal-el hits the streets, then we'll have to see what effect that has on the dual core tablets resale value, but I'm a little happier knowing that I've spent £399 as opposed to almost £500 for the 32GB or 3G models soon to be released. Hopefully I won't take too much of a loss if I decide to go for a newer Quad core next year.
A question, I don't see a charging led, is there one?
quick question mate - do you have a full 16gb spare? or is some taken with the android OS and apps etc? i have the 32gb on order and was thinking to the get the 16gb..
Congrats on the new tab! I also came from the transformer.... Returned for several and never could get a good one. As for the notification light... there isnt one.

I haven't actually set it up yet, it's switched off but on charge, thought it might be quicker to charge it that way? The demo unit in PC World had 12GB spare though if that helps. I remember the TF was about the same after being set up.

Ok thanks Danny!
Congrats on the new Tab! I got mine this past Saturday...use it every day!! I love it and I like that I could transfer files so easily between my Infuse and Tab using Bluetooth, unlike my iPad 2!
Just got an email and once again it's a delay:
Thank you for your recent order at BestBuy.ca! We just wanted to inform you that your pre-order item(s) is currently awaiting the release date. You will receive a Shipment Notice email as soon as inventory is ready.

I just ordered from Staples and will deliver tomorrow.
I don't know why bestbuy doesn't has it. I ordered the Tab at BB back in July as pre-order.
Yeah, Future Shop and Best Buy have screwed the pooch on this. I just bought mine yesterday from The Source. I hear Staples also has them (try calling them). I bought mine in store (guy had to bring it out from the back so make sure you ask). You can check in store availability online at thesource.ca.
Once the first delay happened I just crossed the border and bought mine in the U.S.
I'm glad I did.

Me too, especially since the 32Gb model isn't coming here at all, it seems. And they're all "Emasculating White" as well.
Picked mine up at Staples in Vancouver a week ago, super nice, feels awesome in-hand in portrait and landscape, already looking forward to next years quad-core and inevitably higher res model.

Too funny, I would have preferred a "Super Manly" coloured back panel as well, fortunately I'm always looking at the screen with it's dark and ominous background picture
I bought mine from Staples two days ago. I'm not using any case, and it feels great in hands. However I bought the Samsung Book case from the Source today. It's a nice case but too expensive ($65+tax). Going to a meeting next week, and don't want to walk around with a flashy GT without a case.
Mine just arrived yesterday, ordered from ncix.com on Wednesday.
Anyone else found we don't have access to the 3.2/Touchwiz UX update yet?
they are in canada. The odd thing though, they seem to be a lot different from the US model.
Also, they haven't appeared to have brought the 32gb version or the metallic grey.
I use mine in canada, but bought the 32gb grey model from best buy in the US so i could have faster updates and the US apps and what not.
Samsung Bookcase $54.99 TheSource !
The Samsung Bookcase for the GT 10.1 is on sale until August 31st at TheSource,. Check the back of this week's flyer )on-line flyer) as website is not showing the sale price.
Other accessories listed at the Source are mobile charger and home charge (also on sale).

Future Shop showing as being available in-store (back order online)
If you want the white back then go to Staples or The Source (touchwiz installed).
At least the Source is carrying a case. What's missing though is the usb connection kit. I am hoping that shows up soon or I'll buy off ebay. Tigerdirect.ca was showing 32gb models in stock as a combo with the docking port for $680, but I was a bit skeptical. I asked their online sales guys and they confirmed it was in stock. I thought it was a mistake they posted this on their canadian website and sure enough, 2 days later there is no mention at all of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 on the Tigerdirect.ca website. I really like my Tablet, but I would rather spend $100 more and have double the storage capacity since the device is already 'expansion neutered'. The Canadian market is being manipulated for some reason, did other non-us regions get only 16gb as well? I was considering the Toshiba Thrive, but that tablet has bad screen ghosting like the Xoom. It's also kinda ugly... but then it has all the ports you could want... The bad thing about all these android tablets is the lack of accessories carried in the stores.. I mean, how can you launch the Galaxy Tab in Canada and stores like staples don't even have 1 accessory for it. They don't even have accessories for the Transformer (their stock case is horrible btw)....

How is text entry on forums like this one and redflagdeals with the 10.1?
I returned a transformer as it was rather poor thought I'd have to wait for Tegra 3?

These units should come with touchwiz already installed. Is 3.2 even available at all from Samsung?
Rob
After having checked, it does look like I have touchwiz, but not 3.2.
I have seen them at The Source in Square One mall in Mississauga. I was looking for the book case but they were sold out. The Best Buy's I've checked have the display material out but not the actual tabs, the salesguys all say it got delayed. Weird.

Supply seems to be rather limited at the moment. Both of the staples stores here in Regina only got 2 each. We have 4 Source stores and they seemed to only get 2 in each as well. I really like the tablet, but I'm still annoyed by the lack of accessories (no one has usb adapters) and not having the 32gb model available.

It's fine as long as you disable auto correction and auto completion in Swype. Also Swype seems to be more prone to sluggish text entry than the stock keyboard. And Google Instant Search appears to slow things down, so disable that.

I just got back from KY today. I drove 3 hours to pick mine up :3 It was the only store near me that had it in stock. >_<
The lack of MicroSDHC slot has me a bit sad. I got the 16gb version and it might be going back for the 32gb version.
it will coming soon
im coming from a 32 gb xoom where i never used more than 10 gb of space so 16 is just fine for me.
So I've debating switching up to the 32gb version. When I got my note, they only had 16gb in stock. They said to check on Tues. And Thurs as that's when they get in new shipments. So I called today to see if 32gb came in yet. The girl checks her computer and she tells me the 32gb version has actually been deleted from their system. Meaning they will not carry it. I guess they will only carry 16gb version.
Has anyone actually purchased a 32gb from Bestbuy? Or has anyone heard anything like I described? Strange that it would be deleted since its so new. I'm skeptical that she is correct. If she is right, I now have to decide whether I keep the 16gb version or go get my money back. Then find another brick & mortar store that sells the 32gb. I like BB return policy though. Which states I have 30 days to exchange or get a refund if I wish. I paid in cash so I'd want a cash refund. Store credit wouldn't be any good if they never plan to carry 32gb.
What other B&M stores are carrying the 32gb note 10.1?
8/24 UPDATE:
Well I came to the conclusion that 16gb wasn't enough. So I just returned my 16gb to best buy and had them order me the 32gb version. Its deep gray. I really wish they had the white one in that size. They only had gray. The difference I had to pay for uprade in storage space was $52. It will arrive by 8/30 to that best buy location. Didn't want to take any chances having it delivered to my residence and the delivery people leave it sitting outside my door..lol
I got tired of seeing my storage space decrease fast and I haven't even really begun to install everything I want. Games take up the most room. Nova3 alone is almost 2gb. I have alot of great games THST I paid for already that I want to install. Like Broken Sword for example. So me getting 32gb will give me more than enough room to store my games and movies I download. I can easily fill up the 32gb also but at least I have more to work with initially. 16gb out the box equates to only 11gb storage left to use. Didn't want to have to resort to deleting stuff constantly to make room. Then I eventually want to root and flash device. So the backup will take some space also. I'm managing my 16gb Nexus 7 well but I don't need so much installed on it. As its my more portable device and only needs the best and essential apps.
Well my wait begins. I'm posting this from my Nexus 7. I miss the Note 10.1 already lol. I'm ready for 8/30 to hurry up and get here. It'll be here either next wed. Or before. Plenty of time to keep reading up on things and to find a good case.

So does this mean you are giving up on the infinity? Not trying to be a ball buster, actually value your opinion. You have been ASUS biggest supporter when they needed one and now it looks like you are going to the dark side ( or the bright side depending on how you look at it). I trully cannot decide if I should keep my infinity or not. I have definitively said I was keeping the infinity twice and everyday I wonder if I am doing the right thing, especially as I hear how JB is just a big a mess on the 300t as all the prime issues.
So, what is your call? Is the Note the way to go and does the screen resolution really make a difference?
Why pay 50 bucks more for a 32 when you can buy a 32 GB sdcard for under 50 bucks and have 48?

Because you can't store installed app data on sdcard anymore. On older android versions you could but no longer. So it's not like if I have 0 internal memory left and 32gb SD card, I'd be able to install a 1gb+ game. It won't let you install it into microsd card. So once you run out of internal memory on tablet, you can no longer install apps and games unless you delete other stuff you have on internal memory.
I know I can store my movies and such on memory card, but I cant install new apps and games on tablet once internal memory is used. It won't matter if i have 32gb sdcaRd :
They won't sell the 32GB instores for some reason, only the 16GB. You can purchase it from their website. Yeah I know, its not the same, and not ideal.
Here is a list of retail outlets that Samsung said was going to carry it the 10.1.

.I'M in the testing phase of this tablet ATM. I was impressed by the pen feature plus wanted to see exynos 4 quad core performs. As it's CPU and gpu is more powerful than tegra3. Tegra3 still a great Social btw so I already know how the infinity would be. Basically a more powerful prime with 1080P screen. So I said why not test out the note first. Since I bought it from BB, I have 30 days to try it out. If I DONT like it I can always get a refund or exchange for infinity pad.
As for which I would recommend, that's depends on what matters most to you. If you bought your infinity from BB, try out the Note 10.1. If you don't like it, take it back and get another infinity. I do know jb is coming for infinity. I would pay those threads much mind on how its performing on the 300. I'm sure jb is performing much better than previous ICS version. As jb on my nexus 7 is flawless. Which also is a tegra3 tablet. I have seen the threads on different issues with infinity like the I/o. Although update improved it.it didn't completely solve it. I can only go off what I read on their forums since I don't own an infinity. Or at least, possibly, not yet
How is your device performing? If it performs fine, you just may be suffering from wanting the newest latest tech..lol. if you having issues, give the Note 10.1 a try. IVE been very impressed with its build, performance,and display. No complaints and not a single ANR since I had it. This processor is very fast and battery life is great on this. This device will get better battery life than infinity pad. Based on what I read people reporting on infinity battery life. As for will the display resolution difference be a factor, I doubt it. Although this has the same resolution as prime, this tablet display looks slot better. The color reproduction and other stuff looks so much better. So for me, it looks good enough. It's a great display and makes the games look better. I noticed the difference playing nova3. The images and everything pop out more. It is a 720P display. Which is HD. Just not full HD(1080P). I've seen alot of people here saying they exchanged their infinity pad and ipad3 for this device and hardly notice difference in resolution. They were impressed with display.
I still support Asus as my experience with them was good. Which is why I bought a Google/Asus Nexus 7. Very impressive device also. So just because I have a note 10.1, doesn't mean I switched sides. Just testing the waters. Plus I always heard Samsung being thrown around as good quality. So I wanted to see for myself how it performs. Which admittedly, performs very well. Exceeds my expectations on it so far. I forgot to add, this tablet has the best stereo speakers on any tablet. Sound is amazing on this. True stereo separation, bigger speakers,and Wolfson audio equate to very rich, loud, and impressive sound coming from this tablet.
Final verdict: try it out. If you don't like it or not impressed, just return it and get another infinity pad. Nothing wrong with testing out other devices.

Thanks.very strange why they won't sell those in stores. Ill see how my memory goes during this 30 day refund period. I have alot of games previously purchased THST I'd love to install and try out on this display with stereo speakers. These more intense games now take up to 1-2gb of storage space. So it'll take no time to Max out 16gb. I remwber I was running low on space with my 32gb prime..lol. some games I can't install on this because they are tegra3 games.
Out of the box, a 16gb note 10.1 only has 11gb of free storage left. Even now I only have 7-8gb free storage left. I haven't even scratched the surface of all the apps n games I want to install on here...lmao.
Thanks again for the list.

Good to know. Thanks. Can I get the best buy store to order it from their online site for me, if online shows it in stock? Like if they don't have it in store, they can order it from their online store instead.
Edit: they still sold out online and shows not available for store pickup. Well I have 20 something days to decide if ill need more internal space(for games & apps) or not.
I got my 32 at Fry's yesterday. Only a 15 day return policy, though.
I just walked out of BB and they told me I could have the 32 in 3/5days
If I trade my 16 in on a 32 it will be the fifth different Tab I walked out of BB in three weeks.

Wow, just checked Fry's return policy. It's changed, and not or the better:
10. Unless defective, a 15% restocking fee will be charged for all returned opened GPS/Navigation units, network-attached storage, projectors, cameras, camcorders, notebooks, netbooks, tablets and iPads, desktops, monitors, MP3 players and iPods, and Apple TVs. 11.

I'm considering returning my 16gb Note for a 32gb one as well. Same concerns about the app data. I draw a lot and could see how I might run out of space if I'm not careful. Also, this Note I have seems perfect so I'm doubtful of getting another great one

Best buy online has them in stock again.
Op updated. Best buy has 32gb available online again. Better hurt up if you want one. They sell out fast. Check OP.
Does anyone have any ideal of when the 32gb or 64gb version of S4 will go on sell? Anyone who works for At&t know if either will be available to purchase in the at&t store? Seen something that Radio Shack will have the 32gb version for Sale on the 27 April 2013. 16gb is not enough onboard memory for me.
I read today at android central that a Samsung rep said within the next week or two for the 32GB but I don't know how accurate that is, I also don't see a 64GB coming at all to the US.

For those who can live with 9.8GB of space, I applaud them. I simply can't and won't. Just annoys me to have to wait, weeks, months, who knows when for the 32GB. I hear Saturday, I hear next week or two to pre-order, I hear May or June. Not sure what to believe.

Rumor from Google I/O coming in May is a revamped Nexus 4 with 32GB and LTE. May hold out for that. Now if a 32gb or G4gb Galaxy S4 come out before then, I might make that move. :highfive:
While a Nexus 4 w/ 32GB and LTE would be nice the lack of microSD doesn't make it any better for me at least.

I would really like to buy an S4 but not in a basic 16Gb form. I want at least 32Gb or preferably 64Gb. With Apps2SD not functional on the newer versions of Android and the internal memory being much faster than an external microSD card the larger memory versions are a must for power users. Maybe I will have to give up on Samsung and go for a 64Gb HTC One which does not have a removable battery or card slot but looks a worthy alternative to an S4 with only the basic memory.

With Apps2SD not functional on the newer versions of Android and the internal memory being much faster than an external microSD card the larger memory versions are a must for power users. Maybe I will have to give up on Samsung and go for a 64Gb HTC One which does not have a removable battery or card slot but looks a worthy alternative to an S4 with only the basic memory.

rumors abound on when we will see it, some say the 30th, some say May or June, some say never. If ATT didn't even mention it in the fine print we would just assume no.
Bottom line is if they don't then I have to rethink my whole phone strategy. Perhaps Samsung will offer up a 32GB developer edition soon.
Just get an international version. I scored one for $699
I am giving it some time before I get an unlocked international version. I am optimistic that coming soon is May or June at the latest.

Did u get the 32gb version international and from where? i am also patiently waiting for the 32gb version in india. Dont want to make the same mistake of getting the 16 gb again like i did with the s3. Its just no enough space. One of my friends went to the samsung store to ask they say that the 32gb version will not come to india but i have a feeling they are just saying that to sell the 16gb versions but who knows.

Wow. I've searched high and low for a 32 or 64Gb version. Which size did you get and where was it from bacause there are loads of us who would like to know where to get the larger memory versions.
Why is this so difficult? Many people, like myself, were looking to finally switch from iPhone to the S4. But I won't live with 9Gb available. I just won't. They had a huge opportunity with this launch, and they have completely squandered it.
I did see 1 international (South Korean) version for sale on eBay, however apparently LTE doesn't work on that model in the US. I have seen several listings touting 32GB, but then the details pages reveal that they are all 16+16. Today thee were two new listings for 32GB that don't say 16+16, but I have emailed the sellers for clarification since I find it hard to believe that random people would get them first.
Its a myth .. i have being waiting for samsung to release anything greater then 16gb since s2 times..
S2 -> Tab 7.7 -> S3 all annouced 32 or 64.. but none reach my country.
So do not keep your hopes up for 64gb.. 32gb maybe..

i actually expected the same situation which i why i went ahead and bought the s3 16gb only to find them release the 32gb a month or so later so now im not sure what they plan to do and i just hope they release it soon cause i really want to buy the phone and dont want to get stuck with 16gb again.

32 GB at AT&T.
Hey everyone !
Just made a petition to make Samsung release the 32gb and the 64gb. I know that on AT&T the 32gb has been released, but not everywhere and the 64GB is still missing. Please sign (at least for helping others) and share the petition link: http://www.change.org/petitions/release-the-samsung-galaxy-s4-with-32-and-64-gb-internal-memory
Best regards.
