UK retail is around £530
but US retail is only around USD650

malaysia market normally is closer to US price or i hope so

oct 21 seems abit fake
anyway lets see 2 day later

i dont like any news from UK or europe as they all tag with super ex price
i hope that is due to their sales tax in those countries

lets hope we here will follow what we hear from US ~ USD599-USD649

well price normally is driven by consumers expectation
no wonder ppl like to tag UK price here to let us think it is RM2600-3000

but in US the very same off contract retail is selling below RM2000..
even media price is only RM2000.. samsung malaysia really think us as waterfish..
maybe just buy from US lol

btw what buntutwoman offer seems very good deal
but too bad im not old member there..

if samsung malaysia really that thick face to put SRP at RM2699
i rather find way to get one from US..
using 1st class courier from US also wont cost me that much..

if tax any idea what the max tax may be imposed?

samsung galaxy tab if not mistaken only have 1 kind at the moment
so i believe is the very same tab in UK, US, korea, or malaysia

lol make me recall like last year PS3 slim
ppl selling USD299 at US
malaysia sony sell us RM1299

samsung malaysia probably get 1 per rm1.8k
sell media each earn rm200
and then set profit margin 50% of the cost to sell public rm2.7k

another US version at USD599

wow it has black cover

seems i was wrong earlier
US version does diff from UK and malaysia version
US thou USD599 but is without voice
no wonder i always curious why the bottom right tab is not a call icon

2011 will be flooded with 7" tabs from many brands
i will see what to get when dec 2010

1 year contract need to pay how much per month if min/zero usage?

so how is the event in sungei wang now?
still thinking shall i go there tml to see see
but somehow the price had cool me downed alot

the high price somehow i feel is due to telcos.. why cant samsung sell the phone without these maxis or digi?

ok lets wait next year 2011
new target: android 3 honeycomb with min screen 1280x768

current galaxy tab best OS upgrade will end at android 2.3 gingerbread
seems all brands including samsung are waiting the final specs of android 3 honeycomb then only announce the next tabs

i will wait
as no budget to buy 2 tabs for now and next year 2011
so wait for galaxy tab 2 or other brands with android 3.0

so the cheapest package is RM30+RM58 (data) -RM10 (debate) = RM78 per month?

new price is RM 2499 ???
great !
not even "officially" launch the price is dropped RM200

if without maxis rush to get the exclusive right on selling the tab
i guess when the tab "come naturally" to malaysia should just around RM2200
