Would bet that Best Buy will have it.
Staples rep told me they WON'T have that one.

Odd because a staples rep told they would carry them both.
Any ideas when new GT 10.1 will show up in Europe and when 3g version will be out?

The thicker tab will hit Vodafone (spelling?) in the UK. A '4G' (HSPA+) version will come 'this year'.
It's ALL a little iffy.
I believe that in Europe it will be called the 10.1v ... and the thinner (better¿) one will just be the 10.1... the 10.1v is almost in preorder if I am correct
Good Luck

You can pre-order with Vodafone.NL :
http://www.vodafone.nl/shop/categor...-galaxy-tab-10.1v/cat41850002/?icmp=galaxytab
It will be delivered "week 17" (April 25 onwards).

10.1v is indeed coming to European shops in few days. Seems like Vodafone wanted to be "first and exclusive: and they are the only ones that signed deal with Samsung at MWC. This means that they have to get this 10.1 in and prey to God to sell it which to me seems as an impossible task.
It can not compete with iPad 2, it can not compete with Transformer, it can not compete with Iconia a500. + because it is exclusive to Vodafone it will be pricey...
I am waiting for HSPA+ vet of new 10.1 SD card slot is a must with tablet... an why not others? Tavket has to be as light as possible, Super IPS screen is big +, battery is also very good.
I hope they will be fast.... as the things stand at the moment I am not that convinced that S1 (since it will have Tegra 2 inside???) is a good option but once it is introduced in flesh.... who knows.
I would prefer to buy 10.1 instead of being pulled towards S1 and wait even more

Yea, I'm taking what they said with a grain of salt, but the store manager told it wasn't on his list.
Just Xoom, Playbook, Toshiba Tab, and Asus.

Agreed EXCEPT for the HSPA+. Besides it's thin-ness the main draw of the thin tab was it's price. It has to be competitive in price and on a competitive network for when it gets '4G'. So i'd say $500 for an unlocked LTE version would kill all competition.
And maybe a nice dock?
I am only planning on getting a wifi version .. but I really hope that there is something like the ipad2 cover that apple made... it is nice a sleek... I can live with it not turning off the screen but it makes feel more book-like and I think that that would be a great thing to have

Ditto. I doubt there will be an LTE version. I'm buying the wifi version. And if there isn't a smart cover-like thing I'm going to try to make one. And the book like feel is one of the things I love about my nook. I'm just worried that if Samsung does make a smart cover clone, Apple will say that they're copycats.

Have you read the reviews of this cover? It's quite bad. It leaves greasy marks on the screen and doesn't really protect anything.

Again they would have hit a marketing and selling hot spot - and I do not think ppl. would care that they had it all the time but without an "i" bit.
So...
1. do not worry what Apple will say!
2. You can be sure that if GT 10.1 will sell in volume there will be a lot of companies tying to make a buck on accessories for it (Samsung included).
Just wanted to add a happy voice to the discussion here. I'm involved in social media as a consultant, I must always be on, always connected, using my TF via a wifi hotspot on my phone is a LOT more pleasant an experience than working via my phone with it's tiny little screen
Love sitting outside on my porch,working while sipping cofee without having to lug a hot,heavy laptop with me.
Thank you Asus for this terrfic device, I also thank you also for listening & responding to the feedback users are giving you on this forum!
i agree, this is a pretty awesome device
Ya~
ASUS did it well this time. Good job !
same here.
The only thing stopping me from using the TF exclusively is that there is ONE app not available yet....when it is...bye bye laptop....you' stayin' at home!

I agree, this is the best Android tablet release to date. ASUS has done a great job in designing (and pricing) this device.
I use it for business, and this weekend my wife asked if she could use it to look up something on the internet - it is now on her birthday wish list. She is an iPhone user, BTW.
I love my TF a little more each day! I love the freedom it gives me, no more having to pack and lug a laptop bag around with me!
Its the unhappy folks who tend to make their voice heard, while the happy rest of us enjoy life, right? glad to see someone give praise to the awesome device Im sittin on my porch drinkin a beer, listening to the radio and browsing the web on my tablet right now (colorado) Much love ASUS, and asus, please give us tegra3 transformer2 as soon as possible! haha
lol.. I just posted my own TF love post before reading this one. I totally agree!

If he's referring to netflix then just use splashtop and stream it as it runs GREAT on the tablet. Being able to text message, make a call, and watch netflix is a great feeling
I used to ask myself what was the point of a tablet and now I can finally understand the answer to that question.
Next week I think I am reordering mine. I sent it back to Amazon because it was having problems, but I am moving in a few days so I will wait until the move is done.
I like the lazy factor of a tablet I still feel much more productive on my PC, but I can't lounge around and poke at things on it. I also kind of miss dungeon defenders... I was thinking about the fact that the TF2 is just over the horizon, but I can afford to get a new TF and gift that to my little sister. That seems like a win-win if I ever heard one.

I wish I could express how sad this thread makes me, if I remember this is supposed to be a site for development. If there's anything to discuss here it's that you might see 300-400 megs of RAM more than your current and LTE will chew through that measly battery. If you always pre-order the latest greatest you'll be a man with very little money and not much to show for it. 200 dollars for an LTE radio which will destroy battery life and a few hundred megs of RAM. As one guy said the Note would at least be a different phone and probably a better investment, either that or keep your current GS3 and get an LTE capable tab. Every single experience I've had with LTE on my phone leads to general dissatisfaction due to it dying half way through the day. Anyway pointless thread, stop blowing money on pointless stuff enjoy what you have.

Why would he want to choose the Note 2? If I could choose again I would stick with the S3. Your preference is not everyone else's.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using XDA Premium
I've a year or so left on my contract anyway and my current provider "3" doesn't offer an LTE service at the moment anyway, so I'll just wait and see how the LTE market matures here in the UK.
At the moment I have unlimited data including tethering and that suits me just fine.. "3" are just rolling out the latest version of HSPA+ with support for theoretical speeds of 42Mbps so Im hoping that will give me most of a good balance of speed and battery life.

Please, step down from that high horse of yours. The general section is for stuff that isn't really development related, and if this discussion cannot be held here, it would have been locked by now. You want development related activities, relocate yourself to the development forums on this very site.
Just because you have had a bad experience with LTE devices, doesn't mean OP will. Yes, it consumes more battery and RAM than a non-LTE capable phone, but there are people who don't mind. Personally, I won't buy an LTE phone, because 3G suits me more than enough, but that's me.
If this thread makes you sad, why did you feel the need to drop a useless comment showing it? You would have saved approximately 10-20 seconds (give or take) by not posting that comment.

not really useless considering the fact, despite I don't really like the idea of this thread I still answered OPs question. Xda-Developers isn't about developing anymore?(I need to section myself off to a specific "development thread" instead of discussing general things about the phone) there will always be something better than what you have making a thread to point out you're not satisfied is fairly pointless. Arguing with someone who tells me to get off my high horse is another. General forum is general discussion about the gt-i9300 Samsung Galaxy S III not about what you're going to buy next week or what else is better. enjoy your damn device.
P.S. If you want to have a circle jerk about new devices and pushing people off their "high horses" reddit is always an option. :fingers-crossed:

Well, he did talk about the S3, just not the specific "i9300". No forums exist yet for the i9305 LTE-specific version, so this'll have to do until such forum exists.

I enjoy my device. There's nothing damned about it.

You didn't have to reply at all.
Really, now? Then why do we have development sections?
Development is strict development only, but just because it says general doesn't give anyone the right to flood it with topics that don't even have a relation to your device. Saying you don't like Samsung because they made a different variant of the phone or perhaps "better" is silly anyway.
If you ask me, the OP didn't seem unsatisfied.
"F U Samsung" seems pretty satisfied mate.
You had it coming. You act like what you say was important, when it was unnecessary.
You act like you had to reply to me in the first place, the only reason to respond to me was to start an argument, which is fine. but let's continue this in PM and stop flooding the thread.
Well, he did talk about the S3, just not the specific "i9300". No forums exist yet for the i9305 LTE-specific version, so this'll have to do until such forum exists.
Then make a general thread about the device, don't whine about how you wish you could exchange yours for another.

"damn" is used as a superlative, not literally damning it.

I don't mean to seem like the bad guy here, but the constant flood of threads about "I don't have enough RAM, I exchanged my phone for X device, the camera sucks" just gets old. If you wish to continue this I'm more than happy to in PM.

Yes there is a fair few but most of them are not against the rules and therefore you have no right telling someone what they can and can't post, that's up to the mods.
If you don't like those posts then don't post on them because they will eventually go a few pages in front, you posting in them is just bumping them back to the top.

That's BS
Why would he want to choose the Note 2? If I could choose again I would stick with the S3. Your preference is not everyone else's.

Well said thank you... The S3 is the best phone around and with that extra edge it will make it perfect for me. And a little more future proof. And My network doesnt provide LTE at this moment but are looking to in future so it wil be good to have the option atleast and extra 1GB
I am thinking of getting this phone, i have read so many good reviews on it but i want to know from people who actually have it, what are the best things about it? how is gaming on it such as playing GTA3 etc and how good is the screen quality when watching movies?
£499.95 is a lot of money so i just want to know if i'll be making the right decision.
Thanks all.
in terms of gaming performance and quality for watching movies - you won't find anything better at this time.

Trust me man this is my first samsung phone. And to be honest in the past every phone i owned i moaned about somethingvor the other. But this phone is brilliant plays my HD tv shows no problem with MX Player. Plays games really well. Overall i feel this phone was worth every penny. My brother bought one for £549 the other day after he saw me not complain once about it. Usually he hears me moan about all my phones so he was suprised haha. Anyway it is your choice and that was just my opinion. Whatever decision you make good luck mate.

i want to use s3 to change ip4s
I had a gnexus and had a lot of problems with it. The camera was crap, no additional storage, crappy audio on headphones.
Then I bought the SGS3 and I am very happy with it, the only minor downside is that for it to be perfect you need to root and remove the bloatware, but for me is worth it. The hardware is amazing and I love how it feels on my hand, it is very ergonomic.

Smarty stay is a godsend, keeps the phone awake while you are looking at it, makes reading books perfect!

@OP, this phone mate is a beast! And since it's so awesome, you will find it difficult to get off your hand, thus you need an extra battery! ^_^

Question - Why on earth are you paying £499.95? bought mine last week for £399.95 with a free car charger. Brand new of course.

RAM is good for multitasking. Lol if your into gaming you should get the quad core international version and not the other way round.
You will not regret getting this phone. Usable, simple and if you want an iPhone buy a Samsung Galaxy S3!
I'd wait for the GT-i9305 Galaxy S III LTE

Absolutely, I've have the i9300 about a month and love it. But if I was in the market today I'd pump for the quad core 2gb LTE version that is available in a couple of weeks, and thats even if I didn't planning on using LTE on it!!!!
ps I paid £430 for a 32gig i9300 so you shouldnt be paying £499, shop around.... Hell you can have mine for the right price and i'll go get the i9305 lol
i decided to go with a contract instead, it works out cheaper (i think). the phone was free with orange and it'll be £28 PM for the 16GB which is pretty good.
Does the smart stay also work when watching movies?, i hope so because the amount of times i have fallen asleep with it still playing xD.
