Verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G/LTE pre-orders June 8th

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/02/lte-galaxy-tab-10-1-gets-official-on-verizon-orders-start-june/
Info in the 4G GT 10.1 from Verizon. Pre-orders start June 8th, but no ship date mentioned yet.
"Verizon Wireless will offer two 4G LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 models both priced with two year customer agreements: $529.99 for the 16GB model and $629.99 for the 32GB model. For more information on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, go to: www.verizonwireless.com/galaxytab4glte."
Price seems a bit high considering it's with a 2 year contract. Hmm..
And more importantly, the linked page gives some basic specs, but makes no mention of micro SD (was assuming the 4G version might have this if the Wifi one doesn't).

microSD Card slot please?
Will there be a microSD card slot w/ this 4G version? If so, curse you Verizon/Samsung for you have successfully wooed me away from the WiFi only version!
DANG IT!!

I would go ahead a say that the price is insanely too high. So basically you are required to get a 2 year contract with almost no subsidized price incentive.
So the Verizon has moved to the next level of how far they can push the bar in their favor. You are now required to have a 2 year contract with all of its ETF glory to even have the privilege of purchasing a Galaxy 10.1 at near full price from them.
Wow, how far we have come from the options of full price but no contract or almost free but 2 years required. Excellent. Now we can only hope for this to be soaked up by debut ridden folks quickly....

The following is basically assumptions and guesses on my part.
I'm assuming Verizon is subsidizing about $200 on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G (that is what they subsidized on the Xoom). And the off contract price for the 16GB model is $730.
That means you are paying $230 for the 4G modem.
The Motorola Xoom for example costs $800 for the 3G/4G model and $600 for the wifi model. So you are paying $200 for it's 3G modem with free 4G upgrade later.
So the 4G modem in the Galaxy tab is only $30 more compared to the Xoom and you won't have to go through the hassle of shipping your tablet in for a 4G upgrade.
Also there is the possibility the 4G model has micro SD, so that might also be while the 4G model costs a bit more.
So the price seems a bit high, but maybe there is a reason for it. Just wish these carriers would subsidize more than $200 on these tablets. And I don't get why these modems add so much to the price of a tablet in the first place.

The big question is whether Verizon is going to deface the device with their logo....

price is right in line with the xoom as the OP mentioned.
nobody said tablets were or had to be cheap.

Sprint Galaxy SIII (16GB) $139 on contract, $589 no contract

Seems like a good deal. $139 for new customers, $149 for upgrades, and $589 with no contract.
Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, Blue 16GB (Sprint)

[Q] Why would I buy Exynos?

Ok, so everyone today is pre-ordering on amazon or wherever you can go to get it without tax... good for them... but not me.
I will own a Note 10.1 2014, around the time it comes out, so I'm already committed to the purchase.
The one on pre-order at Amazon is the Exynos WIFI only.
I think I'd rather by the 4gLTE/WIFI one at ATT. Here is why:
-I get the Snapdragon 800 and Adreno GPU which I've been reading is pretty much the best over the Exynos.
-Developers love making custom ROMS with those Qualcomm chips (bloat removal)
-I can pull the SIM card out of my ATT Samsung S4 and plug it into my tablet when I feel like going online with it.
-I buy it from ATT unlocked, spend the same amount of money as the one on Amazon, and I get the above features for free.
Now... the reasons for getting the one on Amazon:
-I can order it now and have a good chance of it shipping out on the release date.
-You can say that Samsung has announced that they will unlock the dormant 4 cores of the 8core Exynos in the future.... but did they promise you that they would enable it on the Note 10.1 2014? No. No promises whatsoever. You'd be setting yourself up for some serious disappointment if you bought the Exynos, expecting it to happen, and then they enable it with the next device. If an active 8-core tablet is what you MUST HAVE, then wait until they ship a product with an active 8core tablet... not when they announce that some day it will happen.
I'm just waiting for ATT to have a pre-order or a release page come up for their 4G/LTE/WIFI tablet.
Anyone poke holes in my logic?

Where did you fund a price that was the same between the two? Thw lte one costs several hundred dollars more accounting fir the cost of the contract.

The note 2014 isn't listed yet but it's always been the case for mobile/lte devices that they cost several hundred dollars more in the US accounting for the cost of contract. If the LTE version really did cost the same, why the hell would anyone buy the WiFi only version?

wait, if we pre-order it on amazon, we don't need to pay for tax, but if we order it later we have to?! why is it like that?!
how about for best buy?
(I'm new to US, can somebody clear that up for me pls?)

Two answers.
To the first, I want to buy the tablet, full price, no contract. I'll pay the non-subsidized price, to get it unlocked and without the contract. With my ATT SIM, I'll just drop it in whenever I feel like. That has to be an option... You take the contract for the subsidy. It wouldn't make sense for me to buy the tablet at full price plus a service contract, and then the next day I cancel the contract AND get a late fee. Am I wrong about that? Educate the thread.
State sales tax is different in every state. I'm in California and Amazon charges sales tax. I researched it and if I were to buy the Exynos... I was going to buy from TigerDirect since they don't charge CA Sales Tax.
Still not convinced to go the Exynos path...

Having owned devices based on both Snapdragon and Exynos.
Samsung fab is better than TSMC so this results in better idle battery life so when you leave it idle for days it hardly drops battery life, is cooler running and with better stability.
Exynos performance is more consistent as it tends to keep more cores active and the clock rate higher. In contrast, Snapdragon aggressively disables cores where there is usually only one active and runs the clock rate low so the performance is inconsistent like what I experience with Snapdragon 600 on Nexus 7 2013.
Related to the above, Droidfish app nodes per second rate on the Note 3 Exynos is nearly double that of the Note 3 Snapdragon.
Undecided on GPU between the two since it's not clear if Exynos 5420 will have T628 or PowerVR GPU.

Sprint
Sprint has confirmed that it will offer both devices through its leasing program. The Galaxy S6 with 32GB of storage can be had for $80 a month, which covers both the service and device cost. The Galaxy S6 Edge will cost $85 a month. Sprint customers can upgrade to the 64GB model for $5 extra a month, or $10 more for the 128GB model. Sprint's Boost Mobile prepaid arm is offering the Galaxy S6 starting at $650 without a contract. The carrier didn't announce pricing for devices purchased on a two-year contract or at full retail.

Why AT&T gets away charging $85 more than Verizon baffles me. But hey at least higher storage capacities are available and it's not just 32gb. Why we can't have the emerald green and blue variants I'll never understand.

Oy... I wasn't in pain until I saw the full $$$ amount of the 128 Edge in writing.
Oh well... better make a stiff drink and go ahead and get this out of the way -_-

anybody else mad we only get 3 colors?
and on top of that verizon is only doing black and white.

why can't samsung just sell devices on their website, this **** is annoying.

Looks like AT&T'S pre-orders are live. Not sure how long but I just went to att.com and noticed

I'm mad and simultaneously happy.
I was getting nowhere on deciding between the Emerald S6 Edge and the Black Sapphire, but seeing as the Emerald one isn't even a choice, it made the decision easier lol.
Of course, I might end up buying the Emerald one and selling the Black Sapphire depending... but for now, I'm good.
I'm also a little salty that AT&T didn't bother throwing in a wireless charging pad with pre-orders or something. Considering the price of the phone (and the fact that Best Buy is offering the the pad for pre-orders) they really could have thrown people a bone. Especially since it appears they decided to put their damn branding on the back of the device -_-

I did some digging and found the sprint prices for 2 year agreement by logging into my account and going to shop for phones.
32 gb $199.99
64 gb 349.99
128 gb 449.99
That's a little steep imo for the 64 gb one. I don't know about you guys.

Exactly so annoying...every other manufacturer does that. It's like Samsung is fully bent over back to carriers.

According to Sprint's website, the prices are actually
$199/$299/$399
$299/$399
for the standard and edge respectively. Looks like the 128GB Edge might not be happening though?

I thought we were finally at a point last year when storage bumps were $50 instead of $100.

Because they can. No other reason. They do it to raise the cost of the monthly installment payments.

That's odd. Maybe the upgrade prices are different from purchase prices. I double checked and it still shows what I posted.
