I saw this too....Not bad. Only issue I have with this deal is that it's refurbished with only a 90-day warranty from woot and then you're on your own if it takes a crap.
hmmmm........

And I litterally just got one on eBay for $300... Do I return it and get this one? Or just stick it out as a decision I've made?

Return and get this one. Unless eBay one is new.
In Australia they are going for 299 new
swyped from a galaxy far far away...

Ok... i want one but i guess they dont send to sweden...

Given this deal, can the Sprint Tab be rooted and connected to Verizon's CDMA 3g, or is it permanently tied to Sprint's 3g network?

I'm thinking about buying it. I'm on the Viewsonic G Tablet forum only, so I don't know much about the Galaxy Tab development. How functional is the Honeycomb port for the Galaxy Tab? I just got Honeycomb installed on my GTab and so far its really good for an alpha build. The only thing not working is flash plugin, camera, and video hardware acceleration.

I just got mine from their last sale, and it works great, have had some over the air upgrades. I, too, have a viewsonic. I like the Galaxy size and the main reason was the built in GPS... Makes the Copilot work more reliable compared to the bluetooth Viewsonic. Of course the Viewsonic big screen is nicer to read documents and web...

Just bought one. I've got the wifi only version right now and really enjoy it. I'm listing that guy on ebay right now and I'm going to start the auction at $260 or so. It'll sell and I'll basically get upgraded hardware (faster processor, BT 3.0) at no cost. I'm down with that.

this must be limited availability... this is monster deal for 3G. thats 180euro

So If I have a current sprint plan with unlimited data, can this be added just like an extra line? obviously that wouldn't include the sprint hotspot. Or, will they require a separate plan?

I am about to hit Buy now, but is it worth it. Any serious opinions on the device from real users is what I like to hear, not reviewers. I own an iPad 2, which is hard to beat. Im no apple_boy either. Its the best thats why I own. Anyways I want a new Android tablet, I have owned one last year (Camangi WebStation) but I want to give it another go. How is the DEVin here, are there a few good ROMs?

I'm in for one, ready to upgrade from my Nook Color. Looking forward to the 1ghz processor and ff camera.

There are a few ROMs available... not near as active as say the HD2 forums or the Xoom forums... Overcome is pretty much the dominant ROM for GSM tabs. Alterbridge has both a 2.2 and a 2.3 rom available at the moment, and Spacemoose1 is currently working on development for Honeycomb for both the GSM and CDMA devices. If I didn't have one of these already, I'd be buying it... Someone point Deeper-Blue to this post so He and Space can develop HC together...

I've got a Nook Color as well and I am considering buying the G Tab on Woot too.
Not sure if I am going to pull the trigger on it, though. Besides cameras and a mic, what else would it give me that my rooted Nook Color doesn't have?

so it might be worth it. I was about to pull the trigger on the ASUS Transformer, but I went to best Buy this morning and it was sold out. I was available online there for like the past 3 days, now SOLD OUT
But I keep seeing these Galaxy Tabs for sale, some pretty good deals, its making me wonder if I should go Honeycomb, the post for this could be a ways away.

Put one on order for my dad, he's been drooling over my g tablet but I'm sure he'll be happy with one of these galaxy tabs. Couldn't beat the price.

Galaxy Tab 10.1 for 400, worth it?

Hey guys I have the option of buying a great condition galaxy tab 10.1 off of a friend for 400 bucks. You guys think thats a legitimate deal? Or should I wait for a better instore deal?
EDIT: Incase I need to send it in for warranty, how does samsung handle it, do I need the original receipt or is it through serial numbers?

Cool thanks for backing up my purchase guys, made me feel a little better
Now a few questions, one, whats the best screen protector for this tab? And two, what applications/widgets should I download, and three, what do you guys think is the best rom for the tab?

Screen protector: Naked, especially if you're just keeping it around the house, it has Gorilla Glass. It's not like it's going to be in a jeans pocket rubbing against grains of sand.
Apps/widgets: That's a personal thing, based on what you're going to be using the Tab for. Go browse the Android Market (use the web-based version) and start downloading.
Best ROM: Run stock KMB for awhile, then you'll know if you want/need the enhancements(or reductions) found in the custom ROM packages.

$370?? Awesome deal!! I got mine for 400 plus tax using the Staples coupon

Alright Croak will do. And thanks lost. I'm really liking the screen on this think, its miles ahead of the screens on my old tablets (Elocity A7 and Nook color)

You already got it, but keep an eye on the screen moisture issue. I picked one up off Craigslist and it has very bad moisture issue. I am not yet sure how Samsung offers or if they will support this type of purchase.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1": 2014 Edition with WiFi (Manufacturer Refurbished)

i was wondering whether is worth to get this tab from here https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-samsung-galaxy-note-2014-edition-with-wifi
or get brand new?
also can i connect it with my samsung s4 and remotely use all data and apps vice versa on both devices?

If I already did not have a 2014 I would be considering this option, remember........
It only has a 90 day warranty but you could purchase a 2 yr warranty with accident protection on the 16gb version for $45.96 at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004M5QPDK/ref=twister_B00EVEFQTQ
Yes, you can share your apps and games from Google play that you have already purchased on your account for free as long as the app is compatible with the new device.

so how long will tablet like that last? do i really need any protection plan? i am just wondering??
ok thats cool that i could do same things on both and can i send txt`s from tablet?

I wonder if these are all those ones with bluetooth connection problems that have been returned.
If so, and assuming bluetooth now works, I'd certainly be happy to buy one. In some ways a long warranty is a burden with these things; it makes you hesitant to root the thing.
I would just use it to death for the first little while. Most hardware faults will be obvious well before 90 days are up.

No not better, the same but "Bigger".
The NotePRO is just 2 inches bigger than the Note 2014 with all the same specs Including S-Pen and the TabPRO is same as Note series just minus S-Pen and S-Pen features of course.
It's like a tape on repeat explaining the difference between the devices haha

I own a GT-N8013 and a SM-P600......
The 2014's screen is very nice, it's thinner and lighter, like the screen sleep and awake by opening the case, loving WiFi with AC connectivity.
I like it but I don't think I'm enjoying the experience as much because after having a GT-N8013 for a year there is a bit of a learning curve. The location of the buttons throws me off a little but I'm starting to get the hang of it.
Don't like the much thinner stylus, it feels like it will break it's so thin.
I guess I do like it but I would not recommend for someone to dump there old version Note 10.1 for the 2014 edition just to get the screen.

Tab S 8.4 and Tab Pro 8.4 tie for first in Consumer Reports!

As the title says, check the December issue of Consumer Reports. Tab S and Tab Pro both got a score of 86. IPad mini 83, Nexus 7 81. However, the CR Best Buys are the Amazon Kindle (78) and EVGA tegra Note 7 (78) as they were at least $100 cheaper then either Tab S or Pro.

I'd choose Pro over S because AMOLED is too warm (4300k vs 5700k) and AMOLED is prone to burn.

You'd probably find a OnePlus One easier than a Galaxy Pro Tab these days..

Man, I picked up my PRO for $250 at Best Buy and they had plenty still in stock. At $250, this is absolutely a steal.

Bought mine last week when I returned the Nexus 9 I had been trying out.
Lots of stock both black and white in the Naples store.
This might mean we will see a further price drop and with my bill saying returns now can be made until Jan 15th 2015 I guess that gives us a price match until Jan 15th as per their policy.
"If we lower our price during the return and exchange period, we will match our lower price, upon request."
Not sure if Black Friday would count anyone know?

Bought mine this week for 249 euros in France.
Upgrading from Note 8 running the excellent SlimKat ROM.
489 euros for the Nexus 9 32gb was way too pricey
379 euros for Z3 Compact 32gb was pricey too, and there isn't a lot of dev on Sony's Tablets, even if they are good.
Galaxy Tab S was an option but Exynos/3gb vs Snapdragon 800/2gb... Snapdragon wins, sorry for AMOLED

Confirmed the Tab pro 8.4 is on sale black friday for $199.99 with Best Buy also some other Samsung tablets
http://blackfriday.bestbuy.com/?category=doorbusters5&filter=&brand=Samsung
I have found out that they don't price match to Black Friday deals, some purchasers however who bought in the last week get until Jan 15th to return so its a case of buying another one and return it with your previous bill to save $50.00

Tab Pro 8.4 availability
I bought mine in Greece on Jun 2014 for 250€.
It is now available and stocked (at least in 15 stores) starting from 210.99€ (checked today, Nov 12)
I envy the Tab S's 3GB of memory though ...

It's hardly to tell the difference between 2GB and 3GB RAM except you open a lot of app at a time.
Tab Pro 8.4 design is based on Note 3 except cam and RAM, but CPU stays the same (same results as Antutu and Quadrant).

I picked mine up a few days ago from the Sarasota store

Just got one myself at Best Buy for $199... happy so far.

Got mine this morning from best buy in the villages. Sold my gpad for $180 and got this for $199, not to bad if I say so myself.

Picked up a brand-new Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 from Craig's List over the weekend for $170. The guy had posted it for $250, but after I pointed out that these are now on sale at Best Buy for $199 and I'd have very little reason to buy from him, he was quick to go down in price and I was able to get it down to $170. This tablet is a steal at that price! I replaced my 32GB Nexus 7 (2013) with this, and so far I've been very, very impressed. Fabulous screen and fast performance. This thing rocks! I really like a physical home button. The Nexus 7 lacks that, which I never got used to. Also, I actually kinda like the Touchwiz layer. It adds a lot of useful features. Plus I picked up a 64GB micro SD card on Cyber Monday for $25 for extra storage, also something that you can't do with the Nexus 7. I sold my Nexus 7 for just about what I paid for my Galaxy Tab Pro, so that's been a great swap!

Man yall got a good deal!!!
i bought my GTPro 8.4 last Friday for 229, and thought I got it for a steal 9I mean i did, but that extra 30 left in my pocket would be nice LOL
Just trying to find some good theme setups now from Zooper & such. So far, happy with it!

Hi guys. I got an 8.4 at the BB $199 for Xmas. I am likely to return it unless someone can explain how to overcome my issues 1. Portrait mode the thumb activates the side app launcher and fonts are too small in the browser plus the bezels are too small. My complaints are standard I'm sure. I will likely return this and order a cube talk 9x 9.7 unless someone can show me how to use this
Please

1. If you pull down from the top of your screen, swipe the little circles (Wi-Fi, location, sound, etc.) to the left until you see the multi window option. Click on it to turn it off. Now the side bar will not pop open.
2. Download Boat Browser for Tablet from the play store. In the settings, look at the page content setting. Then click on text scaling and set the font to a comfortable size. (There are a lot of features that make Boat Browser one of my favorites)
I personally like the smaller bezel and the 8.4 screen size. This tablet is a great deal for the price. Don't give up on it!

Thanks k8108
It seems so many sites do not respond to the browser settings. Even navigation bar suggestions use the sites' font. Any other options to use in this case e.g. bibliotecapleyades.net? That is very annoying. I'm coming from the 9.7 inch retina screen
I may keep plugging away with the 8.4 pro and resell on eBay if I can't adjust. I do like the single handed operability. The screen is bluish to me so I am running the blue filter app to warm it up
The multi window option is very convienent but lacks customizability. I may go with another ROM
Enjoy yours. And thanks!

In boat browser with my text scaling at 150%, I am able to read articles from the site you mentioned with no problem. I am also able to pinch zoom in on the page with all the links to see it better. Play with the settings to see what suits you.
If you root this tablet you can install the exposed framework which has a multi window module that let's you add any apps you want to the multi window function. I use it all the time.
I think the more you play with the features this tablet had to offer, the more it will grow on you

Yeah these fonts are getting to me. I mostly use apps not browser and they don't offer many option for text xposed framework has a mod to customize app scaling so when I figure out how to root the tab I'll try that

The release of the Tab S4 could be the best thing for the S3!

Perhaps that the release of S4 will lead to a price drop for the S3
At 300$, the GT S3 would be a good deal and could have a second (mostly a first) life, who knows?
Remember what happened to the HP TouchPad a few years ago: from Hate to Love with only a good drop of its price

I hope development community will grow up

Tab S2 new is still over 300$, but I did just buy an S3 for 100$ off today. I didn't want to pay 550$ so I waited and got it for 450$. That isn't too too bad of a price.

Yup, I just bought the 128gb Tab S3 for $300 from best buy (open box, excellent condition. Looks brand new with no signs of use.). I also got the Samsung keyboard cover. Planning to use it as a travel laptop for light work. Got termux, Nodejs, express all running well.
I still can't believe I was able to get this for $300 and have been trying to find if there are any issues before my return window closes.

I got the same thing at Best Buy a 128 GB. I wanted to check my end to make sure it was all good before the return window closed also. But... I flashed magisk and found out that somebody already unlock the bootloader because the Knox was tripped before I messed with it. So I think if I try to return it they might say it was ineligible for return Maybe but I don't care it's a pretty cool deal.

I hope so too. I got lucky and found a local deal on Letgo selling a new Tab S3 with $250 back in Spring. It was a freaking steal.
