How is your experience reading magazine or e newspaper? Cause the screen is smaller right? So, have to keep scrolling down? Does it annoying?

I downloads PDF magazine from piratebay. Science Illustrated, Discovery, National Geograhic, Popular Photography, Economist and etc... It is a bit hassle to read the magazine on SGT as you need to scroll/rotate/zoom but I wouldn't complain since the magazine is "free" wink.gif . I got whole 2010 issues of those magazines in the SGT.

As for eNewpaper, the experience is the same as need to zoom and read. But too expensive to subscribe. I think it is USD0.99 per issue if using PressReader.

So far, most I used from SGT is the games, followed by internet. Ebooks not really .. despite having lots of books, comics and magazines.

Out of all the games installed and tried .... only addictive ones I like for quick gaming is :-

1) Ninjump
2) beetlejump
3) Angry birds/seasons

is it adviseable to use the Tab as a hp??will it cause any problem??

thanks

It is based on oneself.

If OK to carry a small sling bag / waist bag all the time then it is advisable. Otherwise if you have a big pants pocket and don't mind the discomfort then it is alright also. The phone is a bit hassle during driving since it is too big, there aren't many place you can put it unless you have a holder.

Another thing is that SGT too big for 1 hand to type SMS/Email, it is too slow and often make mistakes. Leather case is a hassle if SGT is a phone. You can't type SMS properly since you need to open the leather case and fold it over to use with 2 hands thus thicken the hold. Email is same issue. If using the SGT on horizontal / landscape, you can't see original message (Android is not ready for tablet doh.gif ) except for keyboard and texts you typing. I prefer typing in portrait mode.

Be warned, if you use it for quite sometime. You will feel 3.5~4.3" LCD HP is too small !!... and cannot satisfy you anymore. For me it is very hard to go back and my next phone has to be 7" again... sweat.gif

Anyway, to me the benefit of having a single device defeat all the hassle. I seldom use my laptop nowadays, except during office hours. Most of my internet related stuff I can do with SGT including work related stuff as well. Entertainment is superb on SGT as LCD and speakers are excellent quality thumbup.gif .

When using Dolphin HD to reply lowyat.net forum message, often hang and force close. It hang on stock browser as well.
So now use Opera, very stable. I think it is browser webkit engine problem, since both using same engine. Anyone having same experience?

and yes gaming is so much better!

the phone function is bit tricky for me.. I think it is only make sense with a BT headset.. The battery has been ok, Heat is a minor issue here.

And android has been really great! So far lagging is still acceptable! One thing i really hate is the speed of the map, maybe will another map apps to compare to the stock.

And guys please root and prepare to spend more time to testing apps and customize UI to fully utilise ur tab and android.

One particular app i really loves to recommend is the wifi file explorer. You can access , transfer file from ur pc to ur sgt thru ur wifi connection. Work flawlessly. There is a free version available in the market. Try it now.

So far loves it..

Me too I had some issue on surfing to lowyat forum too with tab. But it tends to load heavy. So i tried Opera, it is better. I mostly use Dolphin HD.

Anyone tried skyfire?

Think someone mentioned same problem with browsing and force closing, earlier.

Maybe lowyat has too many flash and ads ... you experience the problem for mobile version or pc version lowyat?

Most probably cuz he's trying to drive more traffic to his reviews. As we all know, in the world of online advertising, traffic = king.

No traffic = no business for reviewer.
