Some points to note for those intending to get the WiFi only version :

- that 3G isn’t the only thing you give up with this tablet. It appears processing power and Bluetooth connectivity have also been downgraded.

Though both the 3G and Wi-Fi only versions of the Galaxy Tab pack a “1GHz A8 Cortex processor”, the 3G version uses a PowerVR SGX 540 GPU, while Wi-Fi only was downgraded to the 530. In addition Bluetooth is limited to 2.1, not 3.0, which may have foiled one user’s attempt to pair it with a keyboard and mouse.

kanasai.,...... digi no stock

buy at lowyat la

someone in here manage to get GST + gifts with only rm1450

it seems to be a common issue? software problem?
and something my tab runs a bit hot..does urs gets hot too?

GST or SGT ?

GST = Government Service Tax

This is not a problem, at least not for me. Just check your 3rd party apps - these are usually causing the hangups. If one had been using cracked apps or those obtained from dubious/ahem sources just be ready to face such issues - sudden freezes, reboots . I don't think is rom issues as since stock rom till all the cooked roms I have been on, I do not faced hanging. And I never install apps that will affect system files - called me paranoid ; apps such as task killers, battery improvement apps, battery calibration, anti virus etc : never believe in using such stuffs

Temperatures - just monitor as everyone hot or warm is subjective. Operating temperatures from 32 degree to 45 degree centigrade is normal. As long as you are seeing such, no need to worry about it. If your Tab is on wireless thether as hotspot to others or downloading thro 3G more than an hour , be prepared to see temp hitting even 50 degree C

hahaha...my badddd...

Tab without 3g is a bit useless right ? seem our company tight with digi, contract or not is no issue for us, but with digi we can get it for RM 9XX why not ?
btw me in PG now, the cheaper pg Market i found is RM 1500, just tab and standard stuff .... not even free Screen protector .....

Hi,

I just bought Tab wifi version..

only to found out later on that the processor/GPU being downgraded..and blutooth as well.

I haven't got the unit yet, probably 2 days later..

So this downgrade, is it really significant? No wonder I saw the display unit, it's not so smooth when I move things around. but I hope it won't displease me ~.~


So 3g unit is much much smoother in term of UI/animation?

I am so new to Android and this will be my very 1st Android gadget for me to have.

It's for my dad's birthday, but of course, the back end job will be my responsibility..

Anyway, it's already been paid for. Hope to make use of it and to be in love with it

I just refuse to buy an iPad, wanna try Android ^^

welcome to the family!XD..

me oso dont have problem with contract but i have issues with digi coverage

thats why i want to buy at lowyat and later subscribe to maxis

me different story, i blacklisted by maxis, according to them, i owe them 11k since 1995, i make polis report and submit to maxis fraud dept, but year pass, still no feedback from them .... so i give up on maxis, i will use nothing from MAXIS anymore ...

wah..how can u owe them 11k?@@...haha...

guys that are using bluetooth headset with the tab does your caller id display on your bluetooth headset ? only phone number or with name as well ?

is that true 3rd party apps can causing the hangups?? right now i also feel my tab quite slow and usually need to force stop.
if we not install antivirus, is that easy to our tab get virus from internet??
how can we know apps that will affect system files?? different between good and bad apps??
is that enough just refer to other user comment or that apps rating??

Enjoy your new Galaxy Tab!!

Benny I use the above tips to bypass activation
for WiFi network without 3G data subscription.

I would keen to know whether I can revert the activation bypass ?

Or do you know other ways to use WiFi access only?
