Ok guys, don't flame me here please! =]
I'm in love with the new iPad 2 thats going to come out.
Yes not MUCH has changed from iPAD 1st gen, but I guess im turning to the dark side. Overall while i love the portability of the Tab, I want a bigger screen like the iPAD and honeycomb isn't cutting it for me.
So in order to gather some funds for that, I'm going to be selling my Galaxy Tab [SPRINT].
Funny thing is, if you buy it.. the Tab will be UNUSED! I'm getting a replacement BRAND NEW UNIT from Samsung shipped to me this exact moment.
I'll even throw in a Zenus Color Edge BLACK & Orange Folio Case with Stand Worth $70.00, perfect condition.
http://www.zenuscase.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=29813
So I'll give the Tab (In box), Charger, Wall Plug, Booklets, and Case to anyone shipped for 490 due to the expensive 100% leather case. or best offer.. i'm willing to negotiate a little.
Perfectly stock, with the 16GB Micro SD Card that comes with it.
Also if you perfer me to Root the BRAND NEW TAB Replacement i'm getting from Samsung, I'll gladly do that for you. or W/e apps you might want on it. Also if you want to just use it as WiFi only, I can disable the Activation Notification for you as well. If you want Ad-Hoc connections enabled i can do that for you as well.
But if you perfer just a new tab in the original tab's box with accessories and case.. then sure I wont touch it. =]
FORSALE

Pm me details on your device, and we'll take it from there
o well thats nice.
Well 340+ shipping sure, if you havnt commited to the other guy yet.
Note this is pretty much a NEW UNIT from Samsung. and it does include the Zenus Case so if you want it for 340 + shipping I cant include the Zenus.
I'm sure the front VGA camera was the deal breaker in this case.
Update: n/a
I have one T-Mobile Rooted with 8 Gig SD Card also less then 1 month old but for $400.00+shipping here
Check your pm's. Sent ya a msg on the tab

oh well, I would suggest to think twice before buying an Ipad.
I got the first generation(I receveid it as a gift...i would never bought it myself and a galaxy tab...bought,lol)...
here what the ipad CAN'T do:
no multitasking
no microsd support
no bluetooth profiles (only audio) (gt has BT3.0 support means it can use wifi trasparently to exchange big files while using bt)
no usb storage function
no front camera (ipad 1) issue resolved with ipad2
no umts videocall
no gsm call (lol)
no sms/mms
no hd 1080 video support and not any if you don't convert the videos
no hdmi video out
no data echange with a pc if not using itunes with its limitations
inferior display quality
inferior battery life (after custom kernel OC/UV on galaxy tab no comparison at all)
no opensource
no possibility of apps installation if not using appstore (money involved ever)
no video recording
very inferior rear camera (it's like not having one...it was introduced in 2nd step)
no flash for camera
no FLASH browsing support!! even if now there is frash for ipad(needs jailbreak) it doesn't play 10.1 flash streaming videos just as megavideo for example.
castrated hummingbird cpu with 256mb of ram means less speed overall
slower wifi
no hsupa support
this is some of the stuff you can't do but there is a lot else the galaxy can do and ipad can't...this is what came instantly to my mind !
if you like all this stuff YOU CAN'T do and don't need it go for ipad2
galaxy tab 10.1 will kill ipad2 in every aspect just like the actual kill the ipad1 and even more!
I hear you bro. I just sold my galaxy tab and picked up a Xoom and it is an utter pile of ****. Will be returning it less 24 hours from purchase. Though I hate apple with every inch of my being it makes me consider the new ipad. Honeycomb is neat but I can't believe they released it the way it is, nothing works and everything force closes. I have not been able to launch half the FACTORY widgets even once, they all just FC. Garbage POS.

This is exactly right. Honeycomb is NOT finished. Motorola rushed the Xoom out the door with an unfinished version of Honeycomb, and others had to follow suit or be left out of the market. This is exactly why AOSP doesn't have Honeycomb yet, because it is not finished.
Just be patient guys. Once AOSP gets the proper FINISHED Honeycomb, ports will be done for our device, and we will have a much much better experience with Honeycomb than anyone buying a current Factory Honeycomb Tab.
It actually pained me to watch the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Barcelona Launch Event vid. Terrible performance, video glitches (the red box glitch in particular, I mean you see it in SDK ports and such but that is understandable, but in a supposedly finished device? that is just terrible...), many bad things. I can see Honeycomb, among the general public, getting a bad name from this
Why did you got the replacement unit? was the first one was not working?
well it had a very faint yellow coloring on the original, if you search my other post you'll see it.
I think it was glue not setting issue, so they sent me a New one.=]
Isn't the Galaxy Tab pretty much outdated now that we have the killer Motorola Xoom and uberpopular iPad 2?
Like the Geico advertising: what do you..live under the rock?
Thinner than iPad2 mind you http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/22/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-and-new-galaxy-tab-10-1-thinner-than-the/
FWIW, I bought my Galaxy Tab after the Xoom was released and after the iPad 2 was announced.
I was more interested in width than anything else and I couldn't find anything I the market that would match what the Tab could do and still fit in a jacket pocket.
I too with rather wait for the 8.9 tab due this summer or if size doesn't matter the new Galaxy Tab 10.1
Neither of those "uber tablets" fit in my pocket which is why the Galaxy Tab is sitting in front of me at the office while the iPad is sitting on a desk at home, unused. Bigger isn't always better.
It's the size! If there was a more capable tablet that still fit in my front trousers pocket, I'd look at it. Meantime the SGT is still best of breed.
I have a ipad and gtab....im for the gtab....i got mine a month ago...havent picked up my ipad...i gave it to my gal.....plus it fits in my back pocket

well, i've come back to the galaxy tab - just bought one from a forum member. for what i'm using it for a dual core tablet would be much benefit, besides there aren't any programs i use that even come close to slowing down the tab.
the size is perfect for book reading and it's not too big to lug around (it fits in some of my pockets).
xoom is heavy and has speakers in the back and I dont think it has gps . Ipad does not work and play well with windows pcs for transfering files and progs and they are too big to lug arround with you . Galaxy tab has it all . Only thing I don't like about tab is both speakers are on right side so it does not give you stereo feel when you watch movie but i use headphones and getting used to it . I did not flash it with any custom rom . It is perfect out of the box and all that without contract .
Its not outdated. 10.1" is too big for a portable tablet. Fair enough if its only for home or work use, but I wouldn't want to have to carry it around everywhere I go as a day to day tablet.
And speakers on the back are the worst tech decision since the iPhone 4 came out.

Well I've loved every minute of my pad and hardly ever put it down since purchase. With less than a week before the pad 2 drops something pulled me towards the galaxy tab and despite my intent to go for the pad i thought why not have a play with the tab and if it measures up id keep it to play second place to my pad when i get it.
Onlyhad it 24 hours now and i can't put the dam thing down. The size makes it so much more pocketable than the pad and despite my concerns over the battery being poor its really turned out to be a dam good bit of kit. Only just getting to the end of the first charge and I've had a hell of a lot of use from it.
All of a sudden the Friday deadline for the ipad 2 dropping really does not seem so far away anymore and im suddenly not in any rush to go back to apple ios.
Who knows maybe by Friday i won't even worry about getting the ipad and stay with the galaxy tab until the new models hit the UK.

Hi @All,
I only wanna know, if this Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9" has telephonical function, cause I hate IPAd and other Pads, where you can only surf and play games....
And if there will be no Phone functions, I will hate them All, cause why bying such big, senseless bricks, only for surfing,gaming? Samsung Galaxy Tab is the most wonderful thing, Samsung have created, so should it be for the Future!!!
U will find the 7" a good compromise. None know if the 8.9 could do voice

No one knows for sure seeing how it's not out yet, but I am sure that like with the gTab 7" the brilliant devs here at xda will be able to make it so it will make phone calls.
I actually just got my Tab today finally. I wanted to see what was announced at ctia and I wasn't overly impressed. The Flyer is a good size, but I have a feeling it'll be priced way too high. The new GTabs are too big. I have an iPad so I didn't want another large tablet as I wanted something I could easily take with me often. The Playbook looks nice, but the bezel looks larger and dimensions are too big for my pocket.
So I ended up right back where I wanted to be in the first place. My new shiny Sprint Tab won't see much downtime in the next couple of days I don't think
I think it's all about what you want out of a tablet. I have laptops and an iPad (1st gen) and there's definitely a place for the OG Tab with me.

Buy it for what it is right now or don't buy it. It's a tablet, not a phone, just like the iPad. Don't buy one and then complain every day because you wanted an oversized phone and no one cares or it can't be hacked. Buy it for what it is right now or don't buy it.
I am interested in GT 8.9", if it fits nicely in one hand I will probably buy it, if not, I am still sticking to my orginal GT. Seeing how laggy Honeycomb is, I actually don't mind Froyo on my GT
Best thing about the current GSM Tab is it's the only 7" + tablet with a phone, provided your willing to flash that feature.
You can also find them at great prices now in the used market.
It may not have next gen specs but it sure is capable of email and browsing
which is what most use a tablet for anyhow.
I also like the 5" Dell Streak another device you can find at low prices,
and it does fit in any pocket unlike the Tab
So this thing is definitely not out-dated. On April 1st, I picked up a Xoom and then on the 3rd I picked up a Galaxy Tab off CL for $300 (Leather case and Keyboard included). I find myself using my Galaxy Tab substantially more than I use the Xoom. The Xoom has effectively killed my laptop use, but for general surfing and usage, I tend to lean towards my Tab. If you can't hold out, its definitely worth it, but if you can, get the 8.9.
I wouldn't recommended it its soon slow i returned line today

Alright guys,
i need some expert opinion here,
I've never used a smartphone before, but last week i bought a galaxy s2, i think it was last wednesday, just loved the phone, but the battery was very unstable, so i took it to the customer service center on saturday, they offered me a replacement S2 because my phone was just 3 days old.
Anyway, today I got a call saying that I can collect my replacement tomorrow, or I can choose to upgrade to galaxy note (by paying the few bucks difference).
So what do u guys suggest? time is short, so answers as soon as possible please...
if you loved the s2 then stay with the s2 . or try out demo the note in the store then decide . ( if you happy with s2 size and no need for the note size )
Sg2 is almoust same than galaxy note,if you want very.big screen then you buy note, both are very good phone.note also have a pen but idont never use that pen.sg2 is better in hand but note's big screen is very nice to watch videos and browsing.sorry my bad english
i did like the S2, but the battery life was horrible for me... and i have average sized hands but thick fingers.. so i keep getting things wrong.. i was wondering if the note will help improve that...
also i am from india, the S2 in india is still version 2.3.3 , only was to upgrade is to use a custom rom, i dont want to risk the warranty just yet, and the note comes with 2.3.5 .
these are the positives i see in note, that being said, i loved my s2 for the 3 days i used it, i mainly use video streaming and business work related browsing.
Will the note be able to match up to the S2 in the display and brower aspects? also application compatibility
and thanks to both of u for the quick replies
The Note does the same job as the S2, but especially for video en browsing, and anything else benefiting from a larger screen, the Note is more pleasurable to use.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
There are a couple of s2 to note threads for you to search for and look at. The GPS is another huge difference.
Go to YouTube and watch some reviews and videos of the Note, and go to a store and hold it in your hand(s).
hii
im from india too n recently sold my 5months old GS2 n got note and i must say i did a good thing buying Note.
advantages over S2
1.battery is better.
2.Display is AWESOME text is super crisp n clear.
3.HD screen 1280x800. which will be useful when ice cream sandwich releases as it takes full use of it.
4.android 2.3.5
5.extra customization over S2. (OTA updates now work in india,new live wallpapers ,weather widget @ homescreen)
6.dual core 1.4ghz (s2 1.2ghz).
only problem is size if its ok with u then GET NOTE!!
its upto u buddy to make the choice.
SIZE...is the key for me...
I came from the S1 to the Note...didn't get the S2 as i didn't feel there was any true advantage but the Note has a larger screen and as i only use my mobile for calls for approx 1 hour in a month, the rest of the time being used browsing the web or sending text / whatsapp messages i thought the Note was a better fit.
Me and my wife rearly pick up our laptop as the Note is so well suited for the web too...
Her Galaxy S now feels like a little toy!!! Couldn't go back to a smaller screen now so careful!

I don't have the Note yet, but i couldn't imagine going back to 800x480 after using 1280x800.

P.S: Enjoy the thanks by my stupid usb mouse.
If you dont mind a very big screen,the choose note.
I guess we're on the same page I wouldn't mind seeing a 6" note. I have been using the Galaxy tab as my cell phone for a year now so I'm like stepping back in size but stepping forward everything else.
Just check out the Note for its size. It can seem a little oversized for some people (although, with my large hands and fingers, I love it). If the size works for you, I'd really recommend the Note.
The S2 is miles behind when it comes to resolution and internet-experience. And it doesn't have an S Pen... People don't realize how much value the S Pen adds yet. I didn't even get to using it fully until yesterday (3-4 days after buying the Note) and I got sucked in just drawing for something like 2 hours...
You get xtra benifit in Note
- 2.3.5 inbuilt with Indian language support (I can read gujarati n hindi),
- OTA firware update
- Kies Air hav known issue on S2, working nice on Note
hey guys,
from your own experiences, do you think it's worth it to own both devices?
i already have a Galaxy Note... should i pick up a 7.7? (i've wanted one since september lol)
let me hear your thoughts!
I have both. I use the note mostly when i need to go to places where i need a device that fits my jeans pocket. other than that i use the 7.7 both as my phone and mobile internet device even though i have to admit, i wish they would have made it a 7'' instead of 7.7''.
For me 7.7 is perfect, it is better than 7 ^^
@Kibosh
"I think" you should buy it otherwise you'll never stop wanting it lol.

I'm in your same sitution and i'm also thinking what to do
I have both devices as well. As it stands, I use my 7.7 to majority of the time, mainly because I feel that the Note is really held back by Gingerbread in terms or truly harnessing its power and taking full advantage of its capabilities.
Perhaps it might help you to have a read through of my 7.7 vs Note comparison
I don't want to sell Note for 7.7, i want Note AND 7.7 because i want to use Note outdoors and 7.7 at home but i think they are similar in size and don't know if it's right to have both!

I have the Note but Im returning it due to the screen defects but if it were in a better circumstance id have both note and tab 7.7, one for mobile and one for home use.
I have the Gnote and the 7.7 is on order...
I am also betting that the 6800 will fit in my front pocket just as well as my old P1000 did.
Intend to.enjoy both devices....
I don't use my phone much, and I don't like it's coarse resolution (Skyrocket). I live in an LTE area (20K down, 8K up, so not full speed, but good enough), so I'm thorn between the ATT Note or the International version. Speed vs XDA support.
Or maybe I should just keep the skyrocketas a dumb phone and use the 7.7 as my main mobile reader/browser? Decisions...

One thing both the Note and Skyrocket (and the Skyrocket is pretty awesome in my opinion, lower resolution notwithstanding) have over the 7.7 is the camera. The 7.7 has a really crappy camera and is really the only major disappointment I've had with the device. Granted, most people don't do much more than casual social media uploading with tablet cameras, but with the smaller 7.7 some people may want to use it as their all-in-one device so it's a shortcoming.
traded my beloved note to a dealer for the 7.7 as I justified it would be more appropriate given my usage pattern which includes significant travel, lots of donut shop time, high data consumption, and and very little phone calls. I figured giving up a phone wouldn't be difficult with 7.7 and bluetooth headset.
After a few days I feel naked without a real pocketable phone even though my 7.7 is always with me. I had to start carrying around my very old g1 as a temporary. If you can afford both, but it's a nice pair to have.
That said, with the 7.7 now I will unlikely buy a new note as there is a lot of overlap in functionality. I'm eying an xperia ray to partner with it for its size and camera when needed.
I PM'ed this to Kibosh3 earlier:
It's definitely worth it if your aim is laptop replacement. For word processing and reading documents (especially complex ones with quality photos), the 7.7 is a huge improvement. The 7.7 can even be slipped into a front or back pocket when walking around so that you can keep it secure in public places. In fact, I've been bringing it in and out of my pocket in public places to read stuff on public transportation, but you have to be much more careful than with a regular phone. The only time I regret the 7.7 is it's much less practical to quickly whip it out of the pocket and put it back every second--to find out what time it is, nervously check messages, etc. If you absolutely MUST have that permanently convenient availablility (as in, you need to be on the phone all the time), you'd be sacrificing that comfort for the larger size, despite the 7.7's pocketworthiness. But unlike a full-size tablet, it is light enough to operate comfortably for an extended period. And it's easier on the neck to read than a little phone because it stands tall when I put it in my Note's spare battery charger/stand.
...Galaxy 7.7, via tapatalk
I do this too (checking the time often). But I never use the smartphone for this. I have a watch.
sorry if i revived this thread again. but i need help too regarding this matter.
i just sold my iPad 64GB, so i have money to spend. i have a galaxy note here though. my question is... what should i get? should i get the new ipad, iphone 4S or the galaxy tab 7.7?
things that my note can do:
- call, text, browse the web, download youtube videos
what it can't do:
- video call through YM (beta version has a lot of bugs, need YM cause most of my relatives uses YM)
what it barely does:
- type documents (too small for me)
- battery life.. lasts only like 7-9hours unlike Apple products
what i need:
- something with good battery life
- call and sms capabilities (7.7 seems good here)
- very good video experience (new ipad or 7.7 here)
- portability (iphone 4S seems good)
torn between these devices appreciate the help friends!
Galaxy note might qualify when it comes to portability. Ipad I guess is a good choice since it has a longer battery life than 7.7 and the P6800 and galaxy note has identical features. Video feature is better too. :-D

exactly why i am torn between these devices hehe
if i get new ipad:
- can only get the 16GB version
- nice screen
- big screen
- no 3G
- hard to lug around
if i get the 7.7:
- can get the 16GB (also have a stagnant 16GB microSD at home)
- nice screen
- call and sms function
- kinda portable
- not-as-good-as-ipad document maker (iWorks is awesome and there is the official MS Office already for apple)
oh man.. think i should save my money and spend it on other things instead (like food, clothing hahaha)?
Google docs or Polaris office not enough for you. With bletooth keyboard and stand you can satisfy most of the "office tool needs". Ics helps here greatly as well...

i don't know, maybe it's just me liking the smooth official MS Office and the iWorks from iPad. downside for apple is its really restricted unlike android. but yeah i'm open to things. i'll try fiddling with Polaris right now hehe. thanks for the reply sir! keep the advices coming people! :good:
EDIT: ok i tinkered with Polaris already. yet to see Google Docs. hmm.. maybe the smoothness of iOS is just getting to me. *shrugs it off* another factor could be that everyone in my family (except me) uses Apple iPads.. i'm the only one who doesn't have facetime and imessage. tried to convince them to use Skype so i could join the fun. will read more about these products (still tempted by the 7.7 though). been reading for 2months already!

I'm still using my galaxy tab 7.7. Havent found a better replacement yet. And the Samsung Milk music app makes it even better. I connect it to my car via bluetooth to stram free music.
I also just bought a z1 compact. I switch between devices depending on where I go. But im so use to the 7.7 screeen. I prefer the tab. But irs awkward carrying this everywhere

i have the Tab S, and though i naturally love it, the 7.7 is now permanently on my work desk for videos and such. reselling it for $120 just isn't worth it to let go. i'd love it a whole lot more if it would go into deep sleep though. my tab S is in standby for over a month while this 7.7 is literally 3 days or so

I have an SCH-815 running 4.2.2 and it's a piece of junk, everything is slow, it is very frustrating. I have tried several ROMs. My daughters Gtab 2 running 4.4.blows this thing away unfortunately.
$120 u say...might have to grab a second one. But i think if i did get another it would be the wifi only probably. one i815 is enough lol
I have had this device since it first came out but I would not say it is still a great device - I don't use it anymore it is just too slow I have flashed the latest cm12 ROM and it is still very slow - its best feature was its screen but with the tab s there really is no reason to use this anymore - rest in peace it was the best but that was years ago
I use the tab s now. The only annoying thing here is that the buttons are not on screen. When using the tab s in landscape mode it's far too easy to hit one of the capacitive buttons for back or show last used apps.

agree with you. :good: now its my baby's toy
Try running the p6800 with rooted, stock, debloated JB 4.1.2 XMD3 with JB (and earlier) apps. It still runs pretty snappy and I have and 8.4 Tab S.
Yes, it is !!
With de CM 12.1 (from Daniel_HK) it a new device !!!
I've got an i815, but only use it for wifi. Just rooted it and installed TWRP. Tried a few roms, from Omni 5.1.1 experimental, to a few 4.2 variants, they also seemed to slow down after awhile and lag a lot. Now I'm on 4.4.4 r2 Carbon from daniel_hk and it's been solid for days... it's not seeming to have the slow down issues. I just wish there was a way to disable the radios without resorting to airplane mode. I still might abandon, as one of the things I wanted was to do TiVo streaming, but the stock image of 4.0.4 isn't supported.... aaaand flipping to a supported verson of Android (4.1.2+) has issues because the TiVo app does not work on any CM based ROM's. Unfortunately, the only person I saw that tried a stock P68xx ROM on the i815 ended up without touch input on the device.

Understand and agree. There are more powerful and versatile devices since the venerable 7.7. I guess I'll always keep mine for historical purposes as it was the Tab 7.7 that caused Apple to go ballistic resorting to litigation!
