That is Samsung official site. It is not a 3rd party site/or some guy blog . If the official site cannot be trusted, which can we rely on ?

Slight reversal of earlier court decison of Tab 10.1 sales in Europe:

http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/16/german-court...alaxy-tab-10-1/

Excerpt:
The Düsseldorf regional court in Germany announced on Tuesday that it is partially lifting its original injunction that banned Samsung from selling its Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in all of the European Union except for the Netherlands. Samsung is now allowed to sell the tablet in the whole of the European Union except for Germany. According to The Wall Street Journal, a court spokesperson said that it was unclear if it was even possible for the German court to stop Samsung from selling its tablet outside of Germany. Despite the ruling, which allows Samsung Electronics to sell the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in most of Europe, Samsung’s German arm still cannot sell the tablet in Germany or anywhere in the European Union. Samsung is presumably still scheduled to appeal the ban on August 25th

Noticed that this thread is now pin up as sticky

Same scenario as previous SGS II thread when official launch due in 2-3 days time

So means our Mods already received notice imminent official launch date

No NR on mine till now
Hope it stay that way

Yes

Typical human behaviour
can never be satisfied

Buying it thro telco with plan is only worth if your monthly data usage matches what they offer. If you are a light user, it is not worth at all. Also telcos always coming out with cheaper offers. Tied down a 2 year plan is just horrifying as probably next year you will find half price for present data coverage. A one year tied up can still be considered

I don't think so as I have always being using this type since my days of ipad, gtab 7". . Must be very rough handling to break it. I take it in and out dunno how many times a day as when I use it at home, I hold it naked without the casing. You just need to slightly bend out any one clasp and the whole unit will come out

Must root to remove default apps
Rooting n unrooting is very easy
If u worried about warranty I can say is all bs as proven so many users claim warranty with root n flash Rom at sgs2 thread, galaxy tab threads.I personally 4 x claim free warranty services with root n cook Rom. Just don't buff tell the truth

Rooting just take most 5 minutes kautim

I never use default in all my androids. My choice
For performance xscope
For friendly well features dolphin hd

Did you set your APN ??
Go to settings/wireless network/mobile networks, at menu select new APN. For celcom APN is just simply celcom3G

Try Friend ME or Friendcaster - these 2 are meant for tablets. Personally, I use FriendMe, way much better than default Facebook ( which is still meant for smartphones)

Friend Me for Facebook : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.l...molabs.facebook

Friendcaster : https://market.android.com/details?id=uk.co...otifyFree&hl=en

Simply beautiful with the keyboard

Maybank2u.com working perfectly on my tab 10.1. I can even see the login confirmation image , some user said unable - strange??
Anyway I am using Dolphin HD browser as I never like the default browser which plain sucks

Never understand mentality of those who clamour for calls on a 10" size tablet. Heck, I don't even use my 7" tab to make calls - just find it too big/troublesome. If I just bring my 7" tab out, at worst I bring along a small Nokia phone. Any calls to my 7" tab all divert to my small mini nokia phone - so convenient. Also using the 10" tab as another GPS - also can never understand unless just wanna show off, Anytime I will use either my SGS II or Dell Streak in car as GPS device, definitely not the 10" or even 7" tab - just looks crazy to me

There is always a saying : use the right tool for the right job
An ALL-in -ONE solution idea is good but not always practical

AND I DON'T BELIEVE A USER WHO BOUGHT THE 3G TAB AND CAN MAKE CALLS WILL DUMP HIS HANDPHONE

My opinion on these since I have used all these the 7" Tab ( still using ) and ipad - 9+ months / ipad2 - 2 weeks only

User interface - nothing so far can beat the ipad. I must say is darn slick and smooth. The new Tab 10.1 can now challenge t, shall I say neck to neck. Other 10" Android tablets ( I have use Iconia, tested xoom and transformer ) looses out. However I always say the ipad's slick UI is only a delusion - it decieves especially new users giving it a false impression it is great and fast. In truth even the new ipad2 fails badly against even my SGS II smartphone on browsing, youtubes, email content downloads. The new Tab 10.1 beats and thumps badly the ipad 2 on these features
Lag in 10.1 - what lag ??? Yes the 7" Tab has more obvious lag vs the 10.1. The 10.1 is a Porsche while the 7" tab is just a honda accord

I will only recommend the ipad to those who like to play games, like to play with apps, watch movies ( NOT Youtube videos). If you are looking at a tablet with some work related/business/file management etc - the Android tablet, any one is the better choice

The Tab 10.1 does not look as classy as ipad2 but it looks more business class n professional. Its build quality is good and solid. Comparatively, the ipad2 looks more flimsy. Looks are subjective - you gotta see and feel yourselves ; some like it rough and tough, some like them slim and sexy

No 8.9 available yet -lah !!

Use DATA COUNTER WIDGET ; this app also measures the amount of data used when used as a wireless hotspot

If you want to flash this recovery ( which is a very very good clockworkmod recovery) - you must let the process finish. I must say there is none better than it
Why would you want to abort it during flashing. If the Tab is displaying downloading mode and you see the progress bar in progress, DON'T ever stop it. If you do, your Tab will hang and will not reboot. Than you need to reflash your rom. If you have a nandroid backup done earlier than you can use your last CWM to restore it. If you are unlucky and midway critical system files deleted, sometimes you cannot even go into recovery mode with the buttons
I have been always experimenting on "HOW TO BRICK" my phones just as a hobby. So I use to do stuffs beyond what the developers warn just to see it for myself. I have no worries about bricking phones and I lost count how many times i have soft brick, hard brick my phones /tablets. But in most of the time 99 % I can recover it. The failed 1 % I sent in to service center to revive it and despite what other people use to say about " warranty", I never have to pay a single cent to reflash my phone/tablets whether is from Samsung, HTC or Apple
