Do galaxy tabs go on sale?

Hi everyone,
I've already asked a similar question concerning the Asus transformer tablet and now I'm wondering if the same applies to the galaxy tab. Basically, what are the chances of a decent discount price in the next few weeks before I return home to NZ? I'm located in Manhattan at the moment.

The best I could find after looking since black Friday was 50.00 off so when best buy had it on sale yesterday I finally picked one up!
Best of luck finding a lower price. If you do make sure to post it up.

Me too! For $319, this thing kicks ass. Though it kicks ass for any price.

Me too. Best deal eva!

In Canada, Either Best Buy or Futureshop had $100 off the Galaxy Tab 10.1 as well as many other tablets.

I guess nobody has purchased the $32Gb version? Am I the only one?

100$ for 16gigs of space? Rip off. They purposefully left the sdcard slot out to lure us into this cash cow just like apple. Samsung should know better. My phone has more gigs...and a faster, better processor at that! The tab still is the best honeycomb out there tho.
Sent from my GT-I9100

Consider it a "ripoff" if you want. For my thinking the only way to get the space is to buy it with the tablet. I'd rather spend $100 now than run short of space later.

Ha! Endoran, everywhere I see you posting, you sound like a toolbag. Are you a teenager?
My phone has 40GB of space. But, it doesn't have a Tegra2, and I doubt yours does as well.
However, the GTab 10.1 rocks, with Task's ROM. Who cares how much storage is local? Storage comes and goes. I have servers with 32GB of RAM and terabytes of disk. Yet 16GB onboard is more than sufficient for my tablet.

bought my 32gb from best buy cuz it was an open box (a return) for $525 couple days before christmas.

They have them at walmart for 400 witch is less than I paid

Yeah, I caught that, I changed the OP. Its the right link this time.

Best buy has this for 29.99 in today's ad. It was the deal of the day yesterday at bb for 25.

On Amazon, list price is almost always higher than the price. You can't really say that's on sale just because it says it is cheaper than list price.
32GB class 10 microSDHC near $30 is quite normal. I got my Polaroid one with adapter from Amazon for $25.

Amazon has this for 24 right now. Just search sdsdqua-032g-u46a. I is available for $23.99 through amazon with free shipping over $25 purchase. I got best buy to price match it.

32GB was $23.99; 64GB, $49.99 along with Extreme SSD's during yesterday's Amazon Gold Box sale (maybe celebrating SanDisk's 25 years of flash memory date). But ship dates were a few weeks out.
Good deals for those items, although regular 32GB microSD goes for <$1/GB.

Buying in USA or waiting in Canada

Hey guys, I'm from Canada and I'm planning to buy a tablet and decided to go with the note because of the multiscreen function and the s pen that could help me in my studies! Anyway my girlfriend parents are going to New Hampshire next week and they said they wouldn't mine buying one for me (obviously I would repay them ).
So I just wanted to know your opinions on either waiting for the note to come in canada (will be available to pre order soon at future shop) or make my gf parents buy one from the US and if so where would be a good place that would have them in stock? I don't want to make them drive everywhere to get it so somewhere not to complicated like a walmart, etc??
Thanks
PS: The sooner I get it, the better it is, I just can't wait anymore!!!!

I remember driving around everywhere here in Maryland trying to find it when it came out. I could only find it available at Best Buy's, but they were sold out at every location. I tried looking at Office Depot, Staples, Target, and Walmart but the best tablet they were selling was the Tab 10.1 2 or the Nexus 7. I would just check Best Buy online or have one shipped to a store for pickup in NH if they are sold out so they can physically pick it up. Just check shipping times.

Some of these early models have some QC issues like light bleed. You may want to wait and buy it from a retailer who can accept a return if you are unlucky and get a faulty unit.

Yeah maybe try amazon they have a good return policy if anything.

I got mine from B&H. It's definitely an American company, but it arrived 4 days later (cheapest option) and never seemed to spend any time in customs. The package said that it was from the B&H warehouse... in Etobicoke. I had to pay sales tax, but no duty/customs/import fees.
I'm in Calgary, so 4 days from Ontario is pretty quick! There's no way it could have crossed the border as well.
Anyways, if your girlfriend's parents can't find one in NH, I'd recommend B&H (bhphotovideo.com). I've bought camera stuff from them for years, and I've never had any "surprise" cross-border fees.

I think you guys are missing the point. In Canada the 32 gb will cost you $499. In the US the 16gb is the $499 and the 32gb is $550. So you getting more for your money if you buy it in Canada.

True... I forgot to actually reply to your post when I replied to your post!
The only advantage I can see from ordering from the States is getting the white one, and getting it faster. When I ordered mine in mid-August, Canada wasn't on the horizon. Now that it is though, I might have waited.
On the other hand, I've never come anywhere close to the 16 GB on my Nexus S (it's reading 11 free right now), so I really don't care about the extra space. I do like the white better than the grey, so I'm not kicking myself right now.

It wouldn't be worth it even if you could get someone in the UK to ship to you as the Samsung cashback can only be claimed in the UK and only one plus it uses the registration details when first set up according to the conditions. Surely you would get import duty plus the high cost of postage would bring it in line with us prices ? Plus any issues would need shopping back to the uk ...
Xpansys in the US are selling at $499 which works out at £314

No, the Tab 2 10,1 is also reduced:
Tab 2 10.1 = £238 - £50 Samsung Cashback = £188
Note 10.1 = £318 - 50 Samsung Cashback = £268
Not sure I'd say £80 difference is 'nearly the same price'.
These prices are valid at Tesco, Argos and John Lewis (at least)
Argos currently offering a free £10 gift card if you spend over £100 too (offer ends today!)

I had an email from Samsung saying that I could get £100 off if I sent in my old Nokia N95 8gb as I had purchased the S3, I registered as at the time Tesco didn't have the £318 deal, I was getting the note for 299 + my phone, I emailed in saying that it was a poor deal as my Nokia was still a useful phone and worth more than £20 to me, anyway to cut the story short the note has now been sent without me returning the phone all for £299.99 I sure as hell hope I can get the £50 cash back.

Agh, I paid 480 euros just a month ago and it seems I'm not even eligible for the cashback as I bought before the 24th. It's great for most but I'm feeling a bit annoyed that the price had gone this low already given that it had only just been released here. I was thinking prices might drop after Christmas which wouldn't be so bad, but it's ridiculous for those who bought a new product so recently.

All electronic products come down in price or better spec newline the same price. I bought back mine for 319 about week ago from Tesco.

Got the Galaxy Note 10.1 for £234.99 on Thursday at PC World with price matching at Tesco and Argos after £80 cashback
PC world price £399
Tesco and Argos £318
10% of £82 Rounded it down too £8 and adjusted till price to £310
had to buy a cover to qualify for £80 cashback so cheapest cover £4.99
Galaxy Note 10.1 for £234.99
This took a bit of arguing before they would accept their own price promise but got there in the end

not sure how much of a deal this is. Considering you can get the 32GB for $449 at BestBuy Canada
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/samsung-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1-32gb-android-4-0-tablet-with-exynos-4412-processor-grey-gt-n8010eaexac/10220829.aspx

With only a 90 day warranty you'd probably want/need to add SquareTrade which is another $100 making it $480. How great a deal it is depends on how you feel about a 90 day vs. a 1 year warranty.

Absolutely never buy from 1 sale a day. They ship slow ( took 3 weeks once) and only offer 21 day returns from date of purchase. Horrible customer service.

I bought my 32gb in Canada for 449 at future shop as well. For once somethings cheaper in Canada. I belive the 16gb is 499 in the US.
