ETA?

from where u get the 8.8 wifi cost 12xx. interest to buy.

I wonder how the seller can sell at rm1699..lol

For those ppl who think will below 2k r really funny... Never understand the cost of super amoled plus screen...

Somemore, those "clever" ppl keep compare with 8.9", 10.1" or others brand tablets never know it can't compare with tis 7.7" tablet "phone" =="

If tablet, go for iPad 2 enough, but tis one with phone... Wake up ppl...

No one got exact pricing right? There is still hope
Btw, how much does it cost just to add a voice call feature into it? Just that extra earpiece? A bomb? Don't think so. I do agree amoled should cost more but seeing samsung is using large amount of that thing in their product line, their cost should be reduced by a large margin. I'm not sure whether they sell to other brands though. Those amoled used in nokia and motorola, from samsung??? I would say samsung definitely CAN offer it at 1.7k but whether they will do that it's different story. Besides, there's no problem comparing 7.7 with 8.9 and 10.1. The CALLING feature is just an addition, not the major thing. You can't call it a phone when samsung itself doesn't even market it as a phone, instead categorized it as tablet. I don't see a problem comparing them here. For me, the voice call is just a PLUS. If you need it, get 7.7. If you don't need it, get other models. Another thing, we were not funny THINKING IT IS PRICE BELOW 2k. There's a seller offering it preorder @ 1699. It's not WE THINK but there is such pricing. May it change or remain when it released, no one knows... Just my thoughts!

Oh ya, your post got a little harrassing.

Guys, I have the 8.9 HK unit, with 3G + WIFI.

Played with it for almost a month since its launch, and let me tell you.. it doesn't support voice calls / sms.

errr... thought it's 7.7 thread...

confius a bit...

perhaps, u might help creat one thread for 8.9 ?

Guess there's no point waiting for this 7.7" which will take forever to come... zzzzzzzzzz
7 plus will be launced in Indonesia tomorrow... hope it comes to Msia soon.... i mean like Sunday???

The tab 7.7 has a much faster processor than the 8.9 leh

i know but the waiting is killing me,...
