Galaxy tab free with galaxy s3

I was one of the 1000 lucky preorders that will receive a free galaxy tab wifi only 16GB.
The question is, do I keep it or sell it and buy something cheaper.
I love Samsung but its quite expensive.
I have a galaxy s2 at the moment

Is it a galaxy tab or galaxy tab 10.1? If it is the 10.1, you're crazy lucky and that's a promotion I'm sorry I missed. If it's just the "galaxy tab" (and I suspect it is) it's worth about $100 on craigslist. Keep it if you want an e-reader, or sell it and buy a real tablet.
***edit: I just looked up the S3 (not the promotion, I don't see any sign of that existing). If you can afford $900 for a phone pre-order, why are you even worried about it?

Well, not harm doing either way, you can keep it as a spare, or a "toy"
I have 2 galaxy tab 7, still playing with it

Its the 10.1, and I love the phone but it was a big decision upgrading. It was carphone warehouse UK that did the offer btw.

well, then i suggest u keep it, u might not know if it will come in handy someday later

how...
how did you know you are going to recive the tab did u get a email or something as i also preorded it when the offer was still showing about 4 hours after launch and i have not had a notification about it ..

How is it "quite expensive if it was free ?

Wish we had a deal like that here in the Netherlands.

They sent me a confirmation text 2/3 days later.
And its expensive because I could sell it for £300+ and get a cheaper 10 inch tablet.
But do I want to loose the awesomeness of the galaxy tab?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

It is definite a nice promotion that they are giving you a tablet. Good luck and have some fun with it

posting now from my free 10.1 tab...... And its brilliant

cool~~too bad there isn't such sweet deals at where I am...

very nice. And you can't argue with "free" though I would probably sell it and get an asus transformer TF300 for a bit more.

Did you end up getting a 16 GB? I was also one of the first 1000 but I received a 32 GB White model (and oddly I also received a 32 GB Micro SD which was supposed to be for the people who pre-ordered after the first 1000), both were completely unexpected as I thought I was getting 16 GB and had no clue about the MicroSD... Absolutely loving the Tab so far and my S3 is none too shabby either

I receive one as well, and love it! I wish ICS was out because I like chrome a lot.
By the way, Why would we sell this to get the Asus? Care to inform about the advantages?
Thanks

For those of you with an SG3 and a Tab 10.1, have you been able to use the Wifi Direct features?
I notice on my Tab 10.1, it does mention Wifi direct, but since I've never had any use for it or heard of it until the SG3, I'm wondering if it works between the two.
I pre ordered my SG3 here in the US, but still hasn't shipped.

Yes. Wifi direct is really good between the two. It's miles faster than Bluetooth. Well with using for anything bigger than a photo. Once connected it's so fast to send multiple files.

I have one thing in mind...
I m a galaxy s III I9300 owner...n i m thinking of moving on to note 2..
could sumone tell me if it would be right option to move to note 2 n ill it be bit future proof coz as soon as i purchased SIII 2gb of mobile ram was out...
beside tht is it the right time to order Note 2 coz I purchased galaxy SIII as soon as it was launched for 42500/- it went down to 37500/- within a month....

Look mate. Every gadget ever produced will get beaten by something better. So there is nothing future proof. S3 was in a lot of demand just like the note2 is now so sellers were making a lot of premium. Once the demand settled it got to its actual price. I expect the same to happen with note 2. I think if u will buy it on the day it becomes available you will be paying atleast 3000 more than the price after 30 days of launch. But then i guess thats the price of being some of the 1st people to have it.
So if you want the best device atm, buy the note2. If you want something good the future, i am afraid yoh will just keep waiting.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!!!

i was a s3 owner ..sold it 2 days back now waiting for note 2
galaxy s3 is still future proof..there is no app/game out yet that will work on note 2 and not on galaxy s3 because of more ram or faster processor
prices will go down if you wait more...s3 16gb is available for 33-34K now..
so the decision to go for it now..is again up to you..can you wait couple of months to get the fastest mobile on the planet just for a few thousand rs. less ..i know i cant

As the price has fallen down to 33000/- I have a 4 months used SGSIII n its getting sold out for 28000/-

I went to a Samsung store y'day in Kothrud, Pune for having a look at SGN2.
He did not have and said it'll come in an hr.
Price of S3 has droppoed to 32,400 n he said SGN2 will be smwhr betn 35-40k...
He also added, i'll have to book SGN2 and deliveries will start from 5th Oct.
M waiting for exact price and will then buy...

Flipkart is too still showing it as a "pre-order". My guess is that they would be one of the first to get units.....Damm, the wait is killing....
If I call my neighborhood retailer again, he will probably think I am really desperate and hike up his price to me....

I had played around with a white GN2 yesterday and it's awesome. No multi-windows support but that Samsung has clarified would be available as an update soon.
In Delhi deliveries are going to start by today late evening according to the same dealer with most dealers getting stocks today. The best price quoted to me was 39,000 without the bluetooth headset, which I really don't care about. However, the dealer wants an advance in the morning today for delivery in evening. He also has no clue whether he will get both the colors or just white initially.
Though I was very excited about the device, I have decided to wait till the end of this month before I get the device for a few reasons.
1. Expected price drop. There a good rumors that this phone would be priced lower soon, around 37,500, which is the price a few readers on this forum got as well. A site called uniquekart.com already quotes this price.
2. eBay Diwali Offer. There is no hint of eBay diwali offer yet but if I am buying this expensive phone, I can wait a bit. Most likely eBay will give a free 1TB hard disk as a free gift, but hey that's great.
3. EMI. Dealer currently was offering only 6 interest free EMIs, though the VP clearly mentioned 9 months.
4. Other Diwali offers. Samsung is expected to launch diwali offers.
5. Lack of accessories. Buying now means you will not be able to get any accessories including basics like scratchguards.

I am tempted. Very tempted to buy. It's also likely that if I visit the dealer again and he has stock I would probably too. But, I have done this in the past and I am just going to use my head a bit better this time.
I am not waiting till Diwali. Just till the offers start around 15th of this month maybe 20th. Pre-orders are anyways shipping after 8th. So, two weeks perhaps. A free 1TB HD worth 5k is not a bad deal. Even now, you could pre-order on ebay with a free Asha phone worth 4K, which you could gift to someone if you want.

Should I sell my S4? Help please!

I have the i9500 variant and my friend who has a note 2 asked if I wanted to trade. I know Note 3 is very near so even if I get the Note 2 I'd have to sell it instantly. I am on vacation in India and checked the prices.
Galaxy S4's, new ones cost about 35,000INR. Used ones sell for about 30,000INR.
Note 2's sell for 31,000INR. Used Note 2's sell at about 18,000INR.
I checked how iPhone was doing and saw.
iPhone 4S 16GB, new costs about 25,000 and used costs 20,000.
iPhone 4 16GB, new costs about 37,000INR and used for about 35,000INR.
So I am in a dilemma. I have about $60 worth of accessories with my S4 which I'd obviously giveaway. I do not wanna invest 10,000 more and buy a current highend device. I am eyeing the Xperia Z and Xperia Z Ultra but they say the display isn't nice. And Sony resale/support isn't good. HTC One is nice too but I think its expensive and HTC isn't good with updates.
So what should I do? How much should I sell my Galaxy S4 for? My friends offering me the Note 2 AND 15,000INR. So can anyone tell me how much would a 2 month old used Note 2 sell for?
Should I do it? If so, what should I replace my S4 with. I am thinking to get iPhone 4S and wait till Note 3 is out and sell iPhone 4S for Note 3.
I chose Apple cause they have good resale prices. I am thinking about getting the Nexus 4 too.. are their resale prices good too? betting on Nexus is risky as Google does price cuts wayyy often and there hasn't been a new Nexus in a while.
I need a good temporary phone that will sell well in about 3-4 months.
Opinions?

Note 2 is a bit of a niche phone. A lot of people can't deal with the size so obviously the s4 will have better resale value.
Unless there is a reason you don't want the s4 anymore then I'd just stick with that.
-- Sent from the mighty Note 2 --

If i were you, id stick to my S 4 till the note 3's up for grabs.price wise, i see the galaxy s 4 price is still high tho it was released few months ago.But its your call mate, decide what suits you best.

I guess I'll keep S4. Note 2 internals are bad too... but for some reason it is tempting.
I do love my S4 though.

Silentrazor why are you even comparing prices? If you have issues with your phone cool.. Why sell your high spec phone for older tech?

Note 2 internals are not bad they are just not as good as the s4. I do understand why you are tempted ... I have both phones and am finding it hard to sell one of them as they are both great. At the end of the day though the s4 is much more popular and will be easier to recuperate money on later.
-- Sent from the mighty Note 2 --

As long as it gives you what you need... Theres no reason to change your phone...

I would definitely keep the S4. It's a fine device.

Weird that the iPhone 4s sells for less than the 4. Or maybe you got it the other way round.
But anyway, if you like the note 2 it wouldn't be such a bad idea considering he's also paying you cash on top. Personally I prefer the S4 and wouldn't trade for any available phone.

Wait for the Nexus 5, if its anything like the LG G2 looks and the same specs it will be the hottest device around running KLP.

I think you should keep S4 till the next generation. Think about it, you're changing your phone within less than a year!! S4 is still a beast device, so why not hold up with it a little more? I bet your warranty (if not rooted/unlocked) is still there!! Do you want my advice?
Wait for Note IV or something like this
Your device can still keep up with current generation and even further
Also, if you're really going to buy the Note III, sell the device to your friend, get a 50$ cheap one, and then buy the Note III! I think it's better than investing in a good phone and selling it later.

Note 3 for Full No Commitment Price?

Do you guys think the Note 3 is worth getting at $725? I don't have an upgrade, but am really want to get the Note 3..

That's a super hefty price for just a phone! I don't think it's worth it. Maybe at $500? I'd take it.

It's not just a phone, it's a power house! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438466
However, its initial price is indeed abusive anyway.
I would suggest waiting a couple of months till prices settle a little.
And if you still think price remains abusive, set you eyes on a Note 2 which is going to be 30/40% cheaper in comparison and it's a GREAT phone ( I have it)
You gonna have 2 choices:
1) Note 3 State-of-the-art phone but quite expensive
or
2) Note 2 an excellent phone nevertheless and way cheaper
:good:

Yes its just not a phone, it is a phablet. But anyways my justification is that I just sold my HTC One and will be selling my S4 for a combined total of 750. So I'm basically trading two phones for one. Also I saw that m4sta2k was going to buy it for $1000!! which makes my purchase alittle bit better. ha.

I dont know about the Note 2 being way cheaper. I remember paying full price last year ($650) and its currently $704 on AT&T's site. I guess its success caused a price increase. I can see it going down a little but not much. I would love to get the Note 3 but I really love my Note 2. Hoping to get the 4.3 update and some other goodies in the update before the end of the year or I just may get the Note 3.

Well, I can only talk about how things go over here ( Holland ) and about sim lock free phones ( no plan/contract)
The Note2 is already around 100 euros cheaper ( 132$) than one year ago costing around 560$ at my favorite webshop
It will get even cheaper after Note3's sales warm up
Anyway I will be visiting NY next month and gonna check some gagdets prices in places such as B&H ...

700+ is the usual price, it was the same for my note 1 and note 2 upgrade

I can beat that price, but not by much.
T-Mo is selling it for $703.99 full retail.

I know this is an off contract price but I'm not sure it's an unlocked device.

Cheapest UK price I've seen is from Handtec, where I got my Note 2 from when that was released. It's currently 586 then a fiver postage, I'm literally on the site now about to place the order, but reluctant to until I know which variant is gonna see the most community activity, 3G or LTE.
As the the ones listed on, Expansys, Handtec, Clove etc are all LTE, looks like my decision had been made for me but would still love to know what version is gonna sell more.

How tough is to buy a phone without contract (simlock free) in the US ?

I can beat that price, but not by much.
T-Mo is selling it for $703.99 full retail.

You're not beating the price. He meant with tax included. It's $699.99 and you don't have to pay for the SIM with Verizon. Neither phone is unlocked.

This is still better than ATT&T at $725+tax

Mine was almost $765 with tax:

That's a rip off to pay that much and your device and not be unlocked.
True you could probably hack around and unlock lock it, but it's the principle.
It does not pay to be first when it comes to electronics.

Note 2 price drop

I m looking to buy new note 2 and because note 3 has been just released, I want to hear your opinion.
Will it be a price drop for older model anytime soon (1 month) or not?
At the moment I can get it from amazon (EU) for 425 eur.

For sure! Depending on your country the price tag is different. Here in Brazil it was costing 800 usd (incl taxes) some months ago and now its 600 usd it still somehow expensive but 200 usd off is always welcome, oh and for this price you have the option to pay in 10× of 60 usd, if you pay at once it would be even cheaper like 520 usd with discount.

Don't count on it. You will probably get the 7100 cheaper but the 7105?
Sometimes they cleverly let stock levels diminish, before release of the new model, to a level where demand actually outstrips supply hence higher prices.
Btw as you may guess from my name my previous Phone was an evo. There truly is no comparison between the two.

I paid 540 euros or 535, I forgot, in October of 2012. Right after it's release. It has only dropped 100 euros since then? Wow. Samsung loves to keep their devices up in price.
It will lower, but not more than another 15 euros or so. :-\ Sorry.
Look at the SGS2, still costs a hefty penny! Samsung wants you to see that it's not that big of a price difference from the SGS3 and buy that!

Keep an eye out on eBay, I picked up my N7105 for half the rrp price as it was 1 month old in mint condition with receipts.

Sadly, All samsung phone's price drop fast because they keep inventing new things S1 S2 S3 S4 , Note 1, Note 2,Note 3, Everytime they launch a new product, price of the previous model will drop.

I'd guess that note 2 won't drop as much as usual as note 3 is so expensive. ...
And not that much of an upgrade.
At least. .. Thats what I hope

I bought note 2 for 300euros, brand new xD

wait for note 3...its price drops way faster

Or maybe wait till the Note 4 price drops
Honestly you could be waiting forever you just need to buy whenever you need one
