I placed an order today at Tigerdirect.com for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Next Day Air shipping for $554.
Finally got the tracking information so they might still have a few. Unfortunately, I have no idea what color is coming. After the Best Buy fiasco, I don't think my wife will really care.
It's probably Black. I've only seen Best Buy selling the white ones in the US.
I droped my Galaxy tab and the screen is craked, however it is insured with Currys Knowhow they are not replacing it or going to fix it they gave me vouchers to the value of the product .
I went to my local Curry's to buy a new tab and was told that the original model the one that makes and receives calls has been discontinued. I am devastated I use my tab to make calls, for work, emails, diary, calender, to do, the alarm and so much more it has become part of my life. I like the tab because I only have to carry the one device. There is an alternative, I could buy the phone free model but I will still need a phone and I will be carrying two devices.
I've been told by Curry's that they will be stocking the Samsung 10" model but for me this model is to big. My question is will Samsung bring out another 7" model or is the 7" tablet dead?
So curry's are only stocking the P-1010 wifi model now? That sucks.
Have you tried carphonewarehouse? I saw some there last week, price unknown though.

How much are you getting for it?
You could get the new model, maybe an Asus Transformer and take it to CEX and trade for a Tab and you'd probably have a chunk of credit left over.
Noooooooo !!! I feel your pain. My Tab is like having an appendage. How about looking online for used ones?

Just thought I would say hello from the uk on release day.
Just bought the 10.1 from the uk, I was one of the first 50 so got a free case and keyboard dock
Sent from my Galaxy S2........
Nice, did yours come with TW already installed on it.
Nice one, did they have any other accessories?
Nice, wanted to go to it but had work doh! Enjoy the tab it's lovely!
Looks like the UK launch was a bit of a flop, i walked in 2 hours after the doors opened and picked one up straight away, and I even got the free accessories 2 . There were more staff than customers, seems like they were expecting an ipad 2 style rush but with only 2 whole page adverts in free london news papers I don't think that would ever happen.
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.
This order contains:
Items(s) Currently On Order: Release Date
Samsung 16GB Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Wi-Fi 09 Sep, 2011
This is the 5th delay!
I bought 2 today at the source in Cambridge.

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 !

Other accessories listed at the Source are mobile charger and home charge (also on sale).
Now Available Best Buy/Future Shop
Canada
Best Buy showing GT as available as of: Release Date:08/25/2011
Order Online:
Temporarily Out of Stock: usually ships in 6-7 business days. 94 units available for back order. Limited Quantities available.
Black model listed.
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.
