 Galaxy Tab - Fantastic Tablet! Nov 19, 2010
By Gary D Stuart
As a current iPad owner who also uses the Droid X, I must say that after spending 15 minutes with this thing I absolutely love it. The size is fantastic in that its a signifcantly improved viewing experience over the 4.3 inch Droid X screen (which is also great) and it is easy to hold with one hand and navigate with the other - an added bonus is that it also fits in a suit coat pocket.
The Microsoft Exchange integration with email/calendar/contacts is seemless and allows for almost all of the functionality provided via a laptop. One of the drawbacks of the iPad is its poor integration with Outlook (couldn't delete, move emails while one a plane working offline - not a problem with the Tab).
The screen is gorgeous, speed is quick and the Google location services (GPS, Latitude, Maps, Place and the list goes on and on) are fantastic.
I would highly recommend this product.
Update - after 1 week of ownership, I love it even more. As someone who travels (4 cities over last 5 days), I'm considering leaving my notebook home on business travel with future trips. The benefits of the form factor can't be overstated - it fits in my jeans pocket when out casually and in my suit jacket during business. It also smartly switches from WiFi to 3G when a WiFi network is not within reach and vice versa (so that you don't unnecessarily consume data via your cellular carrier). I also watched a movie on my East to West coast trip - 3 hour and 13 minute move burned less than half the battery time. It's also great to be able to modify .xls documents when needed - seamless integration with outlook / attachments.
Absolutely love this thing...

Lovin' the Galaxy Tab so far... Nov 17, 2010
By M. Sean Phillips
"Beer Snob"
I ran out and bought the Galaxy Tab from T-Mobile the first day it was released. I have been using it to take notes and read on the Kindle app since. I have a Droid X, which filled the need till the Galaxy Tab was released, but it is so much easier now with a 7 inch screen. The Galaxy Tab is basically the size of three Droid X screens, so much easier to type and to read.
I haven't found any apps developed for the Galaxy Tab specifically, but most android apps I use seem to work ok or even better on the larger form factor. I am hoping, just like some developers have built apps just for the iPad, that soon apps will come out built to take advantage of the additional screen size.
It fits well in my hand, but with the case it does not fit in my pocket. I also find that even in landscape mode that I can not really type with both hands. I hear there is an optional qwerty keyboard you can buy, but I haven't gone that route yet.
I have tested out using Skype as a phone and it seems to work fine - at least when calling people in the US.
And with T-Mobile there is no additional charge to the Galaxy Tab as an access point!

Impressive, but unnecessarily crippled Nov 22, 2010
By Jeffrey A. Meunier
Review update: Initially my belief was that Samsung has crippled this device, but in fact it has been done by Verizon. The Verizon web site explains that NONE of their mobile devices includes the ability to use a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse. Moreover, the T-Mobile model has been reported to work fine with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I also briefly tested a Sprint model with a Bluetooth mouse, and it seems as though it should work -- there was a menu option to connect to the mouse and use it as a HID (human input device), an option that is not even available on the Verizon model. I wasn't actually able to connect to the mouse, but it's possible that it was a mouse incompatibility issue (it's a Targus N2953), or my batteries were too low.
Steer clear of the Verizon model of the Galaxy Tab. And since this review is under the heading of the T-Mobile model of the Tab, I am changing my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars.
I'm surprised Samsung lets Verizon do this, owing to the bad press it's giving Samsung.
Original post follows.
----------
It's an amazing little tablet. Quick, responsive, light, bright screen, and all the Android apps I've tried run very well on it. It even works as a WiFi-to-3G hotspot out of the box. This tablet is impressive. Too bad it's been deliberately crippled by Samsung [edit: it was Verizon, not Samsung].
The problem is Bluetooth, which on the Galaxy Tab is usable ONLY for file transfers (the supplied USB cable is used for the same thing). The ability to use the Tab with Bluetooth HIDs (human input devices) has been DISABLED. Google put it into Android, and Samsung [edit: no, Verizon] took it out. That means you can't use wireless keyboards or mice with it. This tablet has the ability to replace a PC if only it could use a keyboard and a mouse (but then that's probably why Samsung [Verizon] has disabled it: politics, lawsuits, myopia, inbreeding, whatever). I have also tried 3rd party Bluetooth drivers, but they don't work. Not yet, anyway.
Bluetooth headsets are also reported not to work, but what's the point? Samsung [edit: might really be Samsung] has also disabled the Tab's phone capability.
European users do not have these restrictions placed on them by Samsung [edit: by whomever]: their units work well with keyboards and mice, and as phones. Check YouTube for some videos of this.
From the technologizer web site:
"Will the Galaxy Tab support Bluetooth HID? Will it support Bluetooth headsets or keyboards?
No, and no, said Kim Titus, a Samsung representative. Looks like Samsung's keyboard dock accessory is your only option."
[edit: T-Mobile & Sprint users should be able to use Bluetooth HID with no problem.]
My advice? Should BT HID remain unattainable (I'll report back if I can find a way to fix it), resist the burning temptation to buy this beautiful and extremely usable but very expensive tablet, and wait a few months for the 7" tablet competition to ramp up [OR get the T-Mobile or Sprint model] -- there are several on the horizon. Features on other tablets will increase in number, and prices will drop. Apple will release the iPad 2 in 2011, which will undoubtedly have a camera and other nice features you've been waiting for (the iPad already supports the Apple BT keyboard, but no mouse). Samsung will eventually cave in and provide BT HID support in a software update for the Galaxy Tab, but it will be too late. Potential users will have taken their money elsewhere.

 The Phone Is Disabled Jan 20, 2011
By Donald A. Ostrower
A beautiful product EXCEPT T-mobile has disabled the telephone. When you install a T-mobile SIM card you cannot make a voice call. If you pay to have this tablet unlocked you still cannot make a voice call with any carrier's SIM.
This very material fact is not mentioned on the Amazon page which offers this item. for sale Curiously his item is sold under the banner of Cell Phones and Accessories but it cannot make or receive a call - and Amazon doesn't even mention this.
Also if you unlock the unit you still won't have phone service. But now you will be denied phone service regardless of whose SIN you use.
If you wan't to use the phone feature of the Galaxy buy the European model which is often sold as "unlocked" (here "unlocked means "never locked). If you don't need a phone and have access to wifi wait a few weeks for the forthcoming WiFi only nodel and save hundreds of dollars - but you will not be able to use 3g or 4g.
Why doesn't Amazon disclose the very, very material fact that the phone function has been disabled?

Samsung Galaxy Tablet Nov 13, 2010
By nexus_one
This product is really good. Carrying a stock android of 2.2. Although it feels almost like a pound but its just the right size for your pocket or purse. Samsung really made promised on overall graphics of the tablet. i still haven't fully dug into the tablet all the way. Only one thing I can really point out is the internet with this device on carrier 3g network. I gave it four stars for it for that reason. The internet is horribly slow. IThe internet can also drop as well. Thats why wifi comes in all the way. Very fast on Wifi. As for games is really great. I usually have all my movies and tv shows on itunes, so theres no need to buy any from the media hub unless theres a reason if my show or movie isn't specified on itunes. The box comes in black. A set of headphones, the tablet, and a few manuals. There is no case or cover which left me disappointed about it. Samsung should have least put cases in the boxes just like t-mobile and their mobile devices. Battery power is awesome. Charged very fast charging. From a half a charge in about an hour. I'd say two hours for a full charge. As for camera, it's no that bad. As for orientation portrait and landscape mode, it is a little sluggish when turning the tablet either way. I'd say that I am waiting for honeycomb update for the tablet itself to experience the full force of a tablet. 2.2 is a good build on it, just not perfectly set for the tablet. There are apps that aren't adjusted for it. But all developers will jump on track as soon as this tablet sells more often. Thats it for my review. Its a great tablet. It will not or cannot replace a laptop. And its a lot like and android phone, just bigger. I do recommend buying this tablet if your interest in one for yourself. If you have any questions regarding this feel free to ask me. I'll answer the best of my ability. As I dig deeper into the this tablet, I'll post more information regarding this over the next few days. Please to read all post for more understanding about the tablet.
Update November 5th, 2010
Media Hub, now I'm not an apple fan, I'm just a customer to them. But to say the very least is that the movies on the media hub is a little more expensive. Like the dark knight almost 17.99. Others 19.99. And the itunes price 8.99 movies. I would say to use itunes than media hub. Does not support call capabilities. North America strip that from the tab when it crossed into the states. Does support texts. You can get unlimited. If you want to root your device for the call capability there is a site for it. But I wouldn't recommend right now considering the device it is still new.

Sorry Im a bit late on my replies, just been busy for the holidays.
WIFI TETHERING
Everyones been asking me about the mobile connection with the galaxy tab internet usage. Well here it is.
As this have been a month of playing with my tab, its been surprisingly good. Though I am still waiting for Honeycomb in early next year. Internet connections using the Galaxy Tab: I have just recently used the internet connection for this device under settings: Wireless & Networks; Mobile Ap. This activates the wifi on the device for internet use for mobile and/ or laptops. This is more faster than 3g network and is free. I tried this using my Nexus One and MacPro. Connections were good. I usually have internet at home, so I think this is a feature to burn up your tablets life quicker. Or unless you want to pay $9.99 from T-Mobile or $14.99 for tethering.
Added extra updates:
Music: As for the music, it is loud and clear to understand. I used DoubleTwist to download my music fast and convenient. The music app separates your music into the categories of artists the songs that go under them.
As for game loft games, the Hd is superior on it. [...] for more games for the galaxy tab. You do have to pay for them, $4.99 or you can have it charged on your phone bill after you downloaded the demo game. The game is fully downloaded into the tablets memory card 16gb. You just have to buy it if you are interested in the expansion of the rest otherwise uninstall. I only have Asphalt. The thing about this game is that when your driving, the steering wheel seems to stop turning therefore, you crash into a wall or turning around. Using the sensor was a bit difficult for me. So some game controls from gameloft is a bit sluggish, but its still good.
Slacker Radio: This app is pretty good when it comes to listening to music. You can upgrade for the full version or just keep the demo. The demo, you do have options of switching stations only six times, then you would have to wait an hour to change them again. Though this app will sometimes take awhile to load the radio station thats because its the demo app. One month: $4.99 or $3.99 monthly thats $47.88 annually. You don't have song lyrics in the demo and there are ads.
This device is just a magnet for fingerprints, Luckily I have a spare nylon cloth.
More Updates coming soon.
