may I know are you taking this galaxy tab as primary phone?I think it is too big to carry around(shopping and etc) and difficult to make calls...
*
Yup, at the moment I still carry another normal phone as well...smile.gif

I've carried it around for several days now and I don't find any difficulties carrying it around with me..the tab is still pocketable n can fit most of my pants...

To make calls will be a bit weird but u can still make calls and use it easily with one hand..im using a bluetooth though....

Overall, I'm very happy with it..practical,good productivity,complete feature and fullfill all my needs... thumbup.gif

now my wife n daughter can play with the ipad dengan aman nye...don't ever need it anymore...heheh! whistling.gif

thumbup.gif huhuh Saluuuteeee to u ...  rclxm9.gif  is it really good that tab?.. compare to ipad?.. ahahha with the name of Samsung there, it is surely hard for me to ignore lorr... huhuhuhu  drool.gif

personally for me the tab is great..i do have both the tab n the ipad..and for me the you can definetly do so much more with the tab.it has a better form factor compared to the ipad..

The only thing that lack on the tab is the all great ipad games..which I definetly can live without...

Pimping the home screen with widgets, icons, folders n live wallpapers is so much fun! I couldnt have enough of it! drool.gif
The stock touch wiz sucks though...ADW is far better!

Cheers!

giovanni, JKK made a free app called Spare Parts to enable full screen for incompatible apps to run fullscreen on SGT.

not for all apps..some apps/games still cant run full screen even with the compatibility mode off in spare parts...

Reckless racing do run smooth in full screen on the tab...really enjoying the game.. drool.gif

Added on November 14, 2010, 1:20 amFound a really cool accessory to pair up with the tab..

http://www.qla.com.tw/product/product_2.as...D5%BE%F7&id=249

http://blog.yam.com/kiss486/article/31161168

for those who find it difficult to make n receive calls due to the tab form factor n dun wan to hang the ear piece all the time, this will be a nice device....

with this u can divert all the phone functions to the device and make the tab purely for tab functions only....

wondering if anyone selling here...if got surely will buy one!

any ideas??? smile.gif

Hi winnie..quite a good review there!

How about the owners to start sharing the screenshots, recomended games n apps that runs well on the tab as well as the accesories?

Perhaps someone can pinned it up to the top thread together with the FAQs as well so that it could be useful for everyone....

Anybody care to start?

Finally, I am done with a review at my blog.

By the way, shall we open an official page with updates and tips for the Galaxy Tab?
*
bro, Nice review and agreed on the official page..

BTW, commenting on ur blog, actually the still camera does support auto focus. U just need to press and hold the snap button until u hear a beep then release..but still no zoom function n bad quality is a big letdown...sad.gif

Im looking for a good camera app replacement but dunno which one is good...Any recommended third party camera app anyone?

Dear Mods, I hope I'm not breaking any rules but since people asked, the name of the shop I saw it was Cycom and prices range from RM99 to RM199 but you can try and negotiate with them.

Just sharing, been looking a while for a sleek custom lockscreen replacement that displays well for the tab and finally sticking with this.

Attached Image

Pros: simple n executive looks, clean ui (fits nicely with the display,fullscreen n no pixelation), good info display (date, time, batt % lost contact), immediate notifications for calender,calls, sms,gmail, rss n social networks, widgets.

Cons: widget always not refreshing, quite a juice sucker, can only use k9 for other pop/imap emails acc, I caant log into twitter.

Overallits perfect for me...what u guys think? Any other nice lockscreen?

Btw, just found that u can upload attachment directly in this forum with the tab...wow!
