i saw Tab now drop price..RM2020 for AP..advisable to go for it? or wait for Tab 2 announcement?

That is a good price as the usual retail for AP sets is RM 2200 to RM2300. PLease post the link of such a good deal - we could help you to verify its reliability. Buying AP sets - the importer source is very important in case of warranty issues. Some are brought in through a established local company ( which is a better choice) while some are just grey imports , example brought in by seller who went overseas. If the latter - then is not advisable as any warranty claims you will have a tough hurdle ahead

Make sure is not US based sets as it cannot be use to make calls

well it is by x132755, very reliable of coz ..bought my 2 previous phone from him

haha..at least he use the bt handsfree. i did pick up a few calls with the loudspeaker...hahaha..
theres even this time when i was eating at some cafe..i dare not pick up a call..hahaha..its my 2nd line.

agreed. i was using ipad for few months. 1. you need to carry a bag for it 2. need a leather case for better grip.

7" is really good enough..

just wondering..other than the SGP Oleophobic SP for Galaxy Tab, what other SP available in the market?

Try to search in lelong.. got quite a lot there..

I would like to ask about. SGT battery life let's say compare to iPad , I am thinking to get another android tablet but my main concern is the battery life itself. I am very satisfied with iPad battery life I can say. With heavy usage for gaming and browsing I can get around 9 hours straight till 10% , how about SGT ?

How does SGT loudspeaker , isit good ? clear and loud ?

What is wrong with that? I do that as well. My maxis package comes with a voice which I did not wan to waste. I dun wan to pair it to my regular iphone.

The Samsung's official reported is 7 hours continuous video usage. I don't see hitting it will be a problem. Based on my usage - browser, email, RSS, Tweeter, etc plus some youtubes watching it will exceed 7 hours

Confirm can reach 7 hours ++ on heavy usage.

Clear and loud. Just the ringing is not as loud as normal phone. But quality is way better.

@benny888 so you are saying the battery usage for SGT and iPad are on the same level right? Thats pretty good if 7 hours batt life for heavy usage. My iPad has been serving me well though it has some limitation.

Added on January 21, 2011, 10:43 pmI own a nexus one running cyanogen rom with tons of widget running constantly , even with 3G turned off the battery life was horrible. The juice merely last me 4 hours with heavy usage. Even standby mode the battery drops at 3% rate per hours. Thats my only android experience but I see SGT is doing good in this aspect. I am thinking to get another tablet which can do more than iPad and SGT is one of my choice currently. The nexus one bringing a nightmare to me for android as I am kind of road warrior and not often has access to charging source. I don't really believe what Samsung claim whatsoever, I prefer some end user experience.
May I ask how you define your " heavy " ?

I doing a lot of multitasking , if running on android of course I will be sticking all my screen with widget ( hourly update ) like weather, news, twitter, fb, rss etc. I will be using it ALOT for browsing like 4 hours, watching flash video, IM like MSN and WhatsApp running. With also some gaming session let's say 2 hours.

Actually I prefer Android over iOS but what attract me to iPad is the battery life actually.
Your input are much appreciated

Yuhuuuu! Finally, i have my sgt back from samsung servcie center.got battery changed and softwate fixed..it fill more smooter

Cannot compare with smartphones whose battery is about 1300 to 1500maH. The Tab is at 4000mah. Even though its screen estate is double that of most phones, its battery strength is more than double, close to three times. . If you just google you will read most web reviews gives very good comments on the Tab battery's life. Engadget example put it through a continuos video test at 65 % brightness with WiFi on recorded more than 6 hours . I have tested and noted that if you are not using it the screen display brightness tone it right done. I noticed by so doing my battery usage has improved by 20 to 30% from 11 pm to 7 am ( when I am not using it ). However background downloads are on. My typical settings for a whole 24 hour day:

4 email accounts : refresh/download every 15 minutes
Weather : refresh every 4 hours
News feed, Tweeter : Every 30 mins
Phone calls - about 10/day and SMS about 20. No MMS
Youtubes : Download and view - ranges 30 mins to an hour
Music : NONE
Browsing : About 2 hours/day ( mostly on 3 G ) as the places I go to usually no WiFi unlike KL ( mine small town). When at home, I use WiFi but seldom use it as I will use notebook/desktop

With these at 7 am 100% charged , by 7 pm I still have about 10 to 20 % charge left. So I estimate if I use continously will exceed 7 hours before it dry up

Ooo ok . Sure will . Tomorrow will give maxis center for a visit . Hope they got stock ready as i might take one home hehe

no regret on it .....
good speaker.
nice battery life.
easy caring.
I do almost everything on it now, including setup client website with small little gadget (what they said), at home i use it as my multi function remote control ......

After purchase of tab, my netbook, notebook, viao, china android and most of gadget is not using at all (not even switch on for month) ....

any muslim owner who got this software on your tab pls share your comment, or even better your screenshot, coz if it's good i wanna buy tab

https://slideme.org/application/quran-android

Downloading. Before I used iQuran but it got compatibility issue with 7" screen (each line not properly aligned)

anyone knows where i can give it a try? seen in maxis/digi center only dummy set. the size is good though.

how's the mp3 quality ? ok?

The sound quality is excellent , better than all my smartphones I have. Speaker sound quality is crispy clear
