Hello guys, i would love as many opinions as possible. I work for tmobile and get duscounts right, well i decided to buy two of these bad boys. One for me and one for the lady. My laptop is pooping out so i looked for alternatives. Got bitb for 700 total. Now i know im a little late to the game but is it a waste of money? From what ive seen this is pretty much the best tab on the market . Return or keep? Thanks in advance.

350$ per 3G unit is pretty good; paid mine 375$CAN back in december..
The Wifi-only model retails 400$...
the pricing is good, but if you are looking for something as a notebook substit. have a look to asus transformer. new prime coming...

The Prime is a train wreck. Check their forum. The Samsung OEM BT keyboard is amazing and serves the same function as the one in the Asus products. The difference being it doesn't add extra battery life. It does however double as a case and can be used keyboard down as a stand. Here's some pics of mine (disregard the Vaio). Keep in mind, no Android device can replace a laptop if you do anything but light work and don't collaborate. Faux-Office can't compete with "real" Office.

Your sammy looks good! What keyboard do you have docked in? And i preordered a prime before but because of the issues it had i cancelled it. Im looking to just use for internet browsing, kill time with games and for school papers. Good buy?

It's the official Samsung keyboard. It's not cheap.

And it doesnt gives us any USB port.. =(
Which means you might need/want a Bluetooth mice as well...
= The Transformer Prime's keyboard dock adds to battery life...
= The GTab101's one cuts it down.

But...
= The G-Tab works consistently, has great wireless, and isn't held together with chewing gum and bailing wire.
= The G-Tab's single battery performs better than the Prime's battery when not expanded via the keyboard.
Seriously, any one considering the Prime spend some time on their home page. It's got serious issues. The TF700 due out in a couple of months that has a different design and plastic border for its antennas is a better choice if you want a hard dock.
Oh, I'm happy with my 3G GTab101;
I'm only talking about docks;
Just don't tell me you wouldnt like Samsung to release/have released something like Asus?
It's aint magic alright; it is just a keyboard dock with a battery and a USB port.
But I sure would like something like this for my GTab. Thats all.
I work for tmobile and we have the 3g/wifi tabs, thats what i got. And they have a keyboard for $80 that has a usb port so thats what ill get. But im considering the sammy keyboard.

Truthfully, I don't get the whole "Android as a laptop replacement" thing. Faux-Office is just that, you can't use things like WebEx and SharePoint, and Ethernet connectivity either doesn't exist or has to be kluged. For light document creation, e-mail, note taking and the like I get it. I use my BT keyboard like 20% of the time. The little Vaio in the picture has a 256GB SSD, runs Windows Ultimate and Office 2010, and has VZW broadband. I'll take that before the G-Tab if I need to stay connected to the office.
As for Asus vs. Samsung keyboards, I like that the Samung reverses to be a stand and acts as a protective case at the same time. It has better key travel and feels more natural too. I have a ZaggSparq that I bring on long plane flights w/o power if I need to extend the Tab's battery.
It's all personal preference and how you everyone individually uses their devices.
Neither am I digging the whole "Android as a laptop replacement" thing; at all!
I dont have any bluetooth device; and am not planning to buy one as long as we dont see a serious.. let's say "standard" gamepad.
(I just cant understand why we dont see any)
As for Asus vs. Samsung keyboards; my point wasnt to say which one is the most comfortable or such;
Take whatever Sammy keyboard you like and just give it an extra battery and a USB port. .. But keep the price around 100$. Not 200$.
I think that it can be a replacement depending on needs. For my needs like multimedia viewing, web browsing, email and short papers but if youre developing stuff or mixing music or other stuff then obviously it isnt a replacment.

what do you guys think? will this be the nexus tablet? i sure hope it is.. as i am still waiting a announcement from google i/o before jumping into XOOM...
i should had have my xoom weeks ago, but my supplier delayed me.. and now google io is just a week away, i sure hope they announce that this is the nexus tablet.
and i quite like the specs. (don't mind it being heavier and thicker).
it has HDMI port (i belive is full size, not mini), USB port, mini USB port and a dock port as well.
the only thing missing is a micro SD card? but if the USB and mini USB works, we can just plug in any card reader.
But it is ugly. As you said, thicker and heavier. I hate that silver thingie.
Oh my, i hope this is not google nexus tablet.
Website says it does have an SD slot.
I am curious what the retail price on it is. if it is above or below Xoom mainly.
i hope it isn't a Nexus Tablet. I mean the specs are pretty dam close to the Xoom. Its like the Nexus S all over again. anyone who has a tablet already has no reason to buy it. Now if it had a Tegra 3 in it and not a 2 then yes it would be something to buy. I mean the USB port is nice and all but really the Xoom has a SDcard slot kinda the same to me.
how about the battery life.
it suppose to be 3x better than normal lithium battery plus its interchangeable..
my concern is always about updates coming stright from google.
at the moment, xoom's update comes from motorola, not from google directly.
hence at the moment, i am holding off xoom untill after google IO....
Pretty positive that at I/O there will be welcome packages of either the Nexus S 4G and the usual T-Shirt. At the keynote, I think they'll announce that everyone's getting either the Galaxy Tab 10.1 or the Xoom.
All I know is that it is what I am getting, I just purchased the Xoom to hold me over until it was released, my return date for the Xoom is in June when this is to be released. I hate motorola products but wanted something to see what Honeycomb was like and since this was the only one worth getting at the time well the only one that was around.
Acer and Asus are worse than Motorola, have owned laptops from both and quickly disposed of them!!! I have three Toshiba computers and like them very much, plus the back of that tab can be replaced with different color backs just like a silicone case and that is the ONLY tablet with a removable battery!!!
This is the link to the tab's web site. http://thetoshibatablet.com/
hmm good point made in the comments over there ... both front and back cameras are in portrait mode... Honeycomb is made for landscape mode use...this looks like a potential 2.2/2.3 tablet... hardly a Nexus.
Doubt it's the nexus tablet.
Evo Better Than The Best...
i guess we just have to sit tight till google IO to find out. which ever it is, as long as google is going to provide the update, i am getting that.

Yea this is a really big indicator. Honeycomb's UI is almost exclusively made for widescreen landscape use, not portrait. Not sure why they'd have the cameras set up for portrait use.
No, it is a Honeycomb tablet.

The xoom although receive updates from Motorola but it has no custom skins or anything anywhere whatsoever. So, xoom or nexus tablet are both good choices. Plus, the xoom were given away at either CES or mwc by google. That proves the xoom is already one of the few chosen kids.

weird camera placement for a honeycomb tab then. very weird.
love the XOOM cameras ... they're both very very good.
I'd guess it is simply being called 'Toshiba Tablet' judging on the URL etc.
and why not?
Also with the Xoom being out and about - I can't imagine Google needs a Nexus X device for a tablet? wait till 3.1/4.0 for another Nexus device?
I'm not thoroughly convinced that I need a keyboard with my device, but if I was going to buy one, it would have to be either very small or very thin. Why tote around a keyboard that's just as large as the tablet?
Any ideas?
Of course, there's always this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/keyboards-mice/8193/
(if it was ever in stock again).
I am currently using the Acer wrapping with an Incase faux-fir slip case, so I'd hope that it would be low-profile enough to fit in there.
I am curious as well. what are the best keyboard/case combis that we can get
If you give me 24 hours I think I may have a pretty small keyboard that may work for us. I just need to test it first to make sure the BT connects properly. Feel free to contact me 'if' I forget to hop on and post findings

Also, a prerelease product info page on an interesting BT fold-up keyboard:
https://jornostore.com/
that jorno is nice but not for that much!!!! you can get a flexi keyboard bluetooth on amazon for around 30
I was considering getting the Motorola atrix keyboard.... i have the atrix so that with bluetooth on the tablet would work fine specially considering the android function buttons..
I have the Moto keyboard (Link) and for the most part it's a very nice unit. The only real issue with it is the massive bump in the back where they put the batteries and whatever else they have packed into it, that and not all the short cut keys work, but I am not sure that is the keyboard.
It's worth the purchase, and is very nice on the plane, but I find myself not carrying it locally just due to size. The Jorno looks like a great compromise for when I am more local but want to slam out a page or two...

Sure, it's not going to be the world's greatest keyboard, but I'm really just looking for decent yet portable. If I really need something more, I've got a Logitech K340 that works great. It's not bluetooth, but Logitech's USB receivers are so small anymore that it really doesn't detract at all.

Stand is great, but unfortunately the keyboard doesnt work natively, it uses spp, which you have to purchase a 15 dollar app to use it with the tablet, and the app is a piece of junk, returned the keyboard, now i gotta find a new one

I feel like expanding my tab. So I'm having a hard time deciding on buying the keyboard dock or save $50-60, and get the dock stand and a bluetooth keyboard. Battery life is not a factor since I'm getting 7 to 9 hours per charge, and but usb port is. Just wanted some opinions.

If you've gone for a while without ever needing the keyboard dock, there isn't much that any of us could say that would make you change your mind, and judging by your case the dock stand should work just fine. And if you wanted to save even more money, you could just use a cheap USB keyboard instead of paying for a Bluetooth.

Well the physical slide in keyboard (the one advertised with the TF) would be a better choice of mobility and all that. Using a bluetooth keyboard on the go would be extremely hard. If you plan on using the keyboard only at home, then getting the desk dock and bluetooth keyboard would be pretty cool, especially if you connect your TF to your TV, and then you could use the bt keyboard to control it from your couch.
Thanks for asking this, I've been looking for that dock and haven't been able to find it. Thinking of ordering this now since I use my tab as an alarm clock.

The added battery life is fantastic, and I use the USB ports all the time for transferring files between hard drives. My only complaint with the keyboard dock is that the keyboard itself sucks. I've never been a fan of the chiclet style keys, but I guess you don't really have much of a choice if the aim is to keep the device really thin.
I tolerate the keyboard when I have to on the go, but I'm definitely planning on getting the dock stand at some point so that I can use one of my nice mechanical keyboards with it at home.
I have the keyboard doc and I really enjoy it. It integrates well with the transformer and it works exceptionally well. It has been really useful for me to use at work. The added bonuses have been discussed, never had an issue with the battery running out, love the USB ports and the SD slot. As someone else mentioned, the chicklet style keyboard and the sensitivity of the mouse pad gets me sometimes. (I have big hands). Overall it is great, I love it.

This thread makes no sense to me. The dock is a no brainer and what separates the Transformer from the crowd. Just buy it and don't even think about it
I agree the dock is the way to go.
It a very well thought out system. The USB ports and portability alone will make you glad you got it. Not to mention the full size SD card slot and extra battery.
yep..+1 for the TF dock...
it works so well and put all other 3rd party ones to shame..
Another +1 for the dock.
I find it quite comfortable typing on for a keyboard of its size. Takes a bit getting used to tho. Besides, I doubt any BT keyboard would allow you to rest the tablet in your lap (in any comfortable angle) without holding it. If it wasn't for the way these two pieces integrate, I doubt I would even own a tablet of the current generation.
Anyone else see this yet? They are taking pre orders now it looks like.

Just bought the one you mentioned above; keyboard works pretty good but times out very quickly. It has to be reconnected in the settings every 15 minutes or so of inactivity. Typing is extremely fast and responsive though.
This keyboard is more of a universal keyboard than it is tailored to Android. It's got a home key on it, and the esc key doubles as a back key, but it also has a Windows logo key.
My biggest complaint is the folio case itself is extremely cheaply made. It's floppy, and doesn't really support itself very well. As a matter of fact, it almost makes it awkward to use. The keyboard is molded into the case and does not come out. The tablet is held on by one big sticky patch on the case. It doesn't leave any residue, but it does leave me wondering how many times I can remove the tablet from the case before it doesn't stick any more. Unfortunately the tablet doesn't fit into my car dock RAM mount while it's in the case, so I would be removing the case every day.
The case also covers the speakers on the Iconia, which muffles the sound pretty good.
All in all, like the keyboard, hate the case. I think it's way too overpriced to have such a crappy, flimsy, cheap feel to it. I think I'll be returning it.
Att sells a real nice keyboard. Very thin. 50 bones though
The standard acer bluetooth keyboard and acer mini usb mouse is the best combination I have found to date. I use this setup in the office. But to go mobile...this makes you carry around a keyboard no matter what. It's nice, not practical for daily mobile use IMO.
worth it
I got this keyboard, works wonderfully. Adhesive bit sticks nicely to tablet, keys travel well, And connects easily via bluetooth. Worth it if you need a keyboard. I've used it for school, taking notes, even writing whole essays on docs
I bought this keyboard for only 14 bucks
^Same as him. Works like a champ too, I would recommend it in a heart beat. I've had mine since Feb and its still in great shape plus, despite the look, it protects the tablet well.

Because Bluetooth is old school. USB is the way to go

I know most of you wouldnt be interested in one since it is a tablet but I'm jealous of the asus transformer infinity owners who have a nice keyboard/dock etc, theirs even has a trackpad to make it essentially a low powered laptop. I've seen various 3rd party bluetooth keyboards on ebay but none that look too impressive.
I'd definitely be interested in one. That was one of my cons when purchasing this tablet. Something integrated would be sweet!

The best solution I've found was a MoKo Keyboard case.

I've been using it awhile. My review is at the end of my Nexus review.

Best looking one I've seen yet, thank you sir! I like the idea of an Asus dock style keyboard, but the fact that this is in a case is nice.

Its not always the best- after owning it 6 months, it HAS saved my tablet from 3 drops (outlined in my Amazon review), but the loop that holds the closing strap is a tad loose and I'm worried it might tear. Otherwise I love it. Best of all, the keyboard's detachable without clips/knobs/anything that might snap.

I have this case as well, however I have it for only two days LOL, and it is already amazing to use, the keyboard is really nice and the best part of it being in a case is that you can take off the keyboard and use only the tablet . Also it has a really stylish finish, and it's comfortable to carry . Using this thing with a mouse and Complete Linux Installer gave me a very powerful Netbook hahaha
I didn't realize you could take the keyboard off, nice! yeah I'm excited; it's ordered. Hmmmmm linux on nexus 10......... interesting.

Yea, it's really good! I took some screenshots and uploaded here, it's nothing more than chmod and vnc, but 2GB RAM and Cortex-A15 processor is more than enough hahahaha!

Using the bluetooth keyboard, a normal USB mouse plugged on an OTG cable. Rooted. Running with CompleteLinuxInstaller (to boot up Fedora) and VNCing with Jump . Hope this makes this "Linux on Nexus 10" more clear . Hope you enjoy your case hehe

Thats Cool! I love ubuntu on my labtop, definitely going to do some reading and searching! Nice work!
I too would love to see an official keyboard, that makes use of the Pogo pins too, and maybe had some extra cool stuff. Perhaps Google just doesn't want anymore money though or something...
It Arrived yesterday. You guys were right this thing is money. The keyboard is a bit small for long typing session, but perfect for general everyday stuff! Couple of questions: Do you guys just use the nexus charging plug or something smaller? Does anyone know if the magnets on the case mess with all of the compass/ gyros/ accelerometor/ etc?

Haven't had it mess with any of the above. I use the POGO myself, actually.

Great . I typed half of my new one shot today lol (1200 words), I thought the keyboard was small too, until I got used to. And no, I don't think it messes with anything mentioned . Enjoy it!
