[Q] Thin Tab Availability: Where?

I know the pricing, but I can't seem to find where I can purchase the WIFI only in the US. Help me please!

It hasn't been announced yet, but I am guess that all of the normal places will have it, best buy amazpn and all that.... it comes out June 8... so end of this month or beginning of next will be when it goes for pre-order

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

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).

Excited! Just ordered my Xperia Arc S LT18a

Yaaaaayy, I've wanted this phone for like 2 months, I had a chance to buy a SGS2 but I took the Arc over the Galaxy S2, some may call me crazy (Maybe not you guys) because it's not as technologically advanced but that doesn't matter to me, the Arc S is DAMN SEXY! I ordered it in Pure White about 2 hours ago.
I'm on AT&T so I ordered the LT18a version because I'll receive the correct bands. So yeah, excited. Join me in my festivities!
Thanks =D
Can't wait to be apart of the Arc community.

Glad to see more arc users.

Good choice, I do like the white as well ( had X10 in white ) but arc in silver cause they didn't have it in white.
Arc is well-designed and you will enjoy every second of that sexiness.

When you get your hands on it, you'll fall in love with its looks and you won't even want to consider an Otterbox case!! Trust me, I'm anal when it comes to maintaining my phone in mint condition, but with the Arc all I can stand on it is a clear silicone case. It just looks so damn perfect!!!!

Yes it comes with a very strong and perfectly applied screen protector.
It's very thick though and a fingerprint magnet. I removed it and applied a generic clear one.
Thhe best case for the white Arc S is the Barely There, it really is barely there!

When you want a case, I give anpther vote vor case-mate's barely there.
I hate cases on phones, so I removed it after 2 days, but ti's really thin. On my iPad 2 I have a case-mate barely there that is applied and it's great.
Case-Mate is a definite go
Screen protector:
Removed it on my Arc almost 2 months ago - no scretches
And I keep my "naked" Arc everyday when I go to school etc in the pocket of my jeans

Boo to cases. Just get a decent screen protector.

[Q] I'm a jerk, and broke my new camera!

Seriously just bummed myself out pretty hard with this one. #1 reason for getting an S4 was the potential of the 13 megapixel camera. The one I just broke!
S4 in my pocket, leaned against something just right I guess, and BOOM! Not really a boom more of a sad sad whimper when I first saw my cracked lens.
I've searched this already, and there is hardly even a mention of this happening on google.
Hoping that someone has good news for me, or hopefully some helpful suggestions!
Ghost Glass on the front, Machined aluminium bumper, and not a thing to protect that stupid little piece of glass (why glass?) over the camera.:crying:

I finally received my camera from China... Quite an interesting trip it must have been for this little thing. About to replace the broken one, wish me luck.
the case is sweet.. I really like that it protects the outside of the phone as that is usually the part to hit the ground first on a drop. I also really like the Ghost glass that I've put on the screen. It feels just like the naked screen and doesn't inhibit the feel of the phone at all. The only thing that seems to not be protected by this setup is the camera... However at $28 a pop, I could think of worse things to happen. I'll be sure to do a quick write up when I'm finished in a few minutes.

Damn this phone is easy to fix. Took me five minutes total to fix.

Does the official Samsung Screen Protector impair S-Pen functionality?

Heya everyone,
First off all I would like to say it's great to be here on the XDA forums. I look forward to my time here.
As for this thread, I live in the Netherlands and screen protectors like the Spigel SGP aren't easy to come by if you don't want to pay for absurd shipping costs. So I was wondering if the official Samsung Screen Protectors impair S-Pen functionality. Since its Samsung and the note 8's strongest point is the S-Pen, I would think not. But seeing how I'll have to fork over 25 euros, I just want to be sure. The only alternative to me seems a Belkin screen protector.
I would be grateful if somebody could provide some insight or experience. Thanks!

Welcome to XDA.
I have not tried the Samsung ones but am using just some cheapo "dry apply" ones off Ebay and they do not interfere with the S-Pen. Would think the Samsung ones would be fine as well. Might not slide quite as well but that may actually be a good thing.
Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thank you CC (hope you don't mind me shortening it)!
I feel a lot more confident now. I use the same type of cheap protectors for my phone but for one reason or the other, I just want to invest a bit more in this tablet. It's my first one and I am incredibly happy with it. It's just very powerful and versatile. Once I get the Samsung Protectors I will let you know how they do.
Thanks again for the insights!

I have applied them and after a full day I can say there is no reduction in S-Pen functionality. I can't, however use my finger to write on S-Note anymore, but I actually can't remember if I was able to do it before. Anyway, besides that minor point, everything seems excellent.

Like CCallahan says, this thread is indeed not about cases but screen protector. But mistakes can be made ofcourse. As for your problem, I think the magnet might have temporarily tempered with the hardware controlling the screen. Try to stop using the case for a while to see if it works. If it doesn't, send it to Samsung for reparation. This should fall under the warranty if the case is indeed the problem. The case I use is the Belkin Cinema Stripe cover. It's pricey but amazing quality if you ask me. You can check it out here:

Kind of true and kind of false. Some of these stores are 3rd party retailers. They have their own inventory and at times have their own promotions. For example the one near my house smells and looks like T-Mobile, but it's owned and operated by a different company.

OK so I had to call like 3-4 times in order to get them to ship me a new one before I send mine back. But it'll be here on Monday. I will say that the screen scratches really easily... I only put it in an empty pocket once and only for like 2 minutes! It's got two fine scratches on the screen already. To all of y'all who plan on going without a screen protector, good luck! You are definitely going to need it

Haha I've always wanted to be the first out of the gate, but I'll let you have this one.

Yeah they are. It took like 4 calls just to get them to send me the replacement first though...

My Tab S did that...took it back ans the next one did it again...waited and got the Tab S2... that sucks man I know your heart's broken.

OK so I had to call like 3-4 times in order to get them to ship me a new one before I send mine back. But it'll be here on Monday. I will say that the screen scratches really easily... I only put it in an empty pocket once and only for like 2 minutes! It's got two fine scratches on the screen already. To all of y'all who plan on going without a screen protector, good luck! You are definitely going to need it

I've heard this from more than one source, it seems like the GG5 is less prone to breaks, but more prone to scratches. On a hardness scale I seen it got scratched at 3 and the S7 edge was like a 7 or 8. Mine is sitting in the box til I get my Xtremeguard and either The Spigen I paid for, or the promos Rinke sent me to review.
