Got this tablet last Friday and I must say this is a wonderful 'mobile' tablet. Also took the Anymode VIP case which is the perfect companion case.

Before this was trying out the tablet at Samsung retail outlets but for some reason the display sets were choppy and laggy. Believe they are running in 'retail mode' (with a demo video). My unit is perfectly smooth (although just slightly laggy at times).

Anybody have any comments to the battery life? Mine seems to be drained at a very fast rate. For example had it charged to 100%. Used for a 2 hours on and off (light browsing and FB) and its down to approximately 65%. Then overnight and it drops 10% to 55%.

Had all the settings under control (GPS off, airplane mode, minimized syncing, brightness at reasonable levels).

Read some threads on Xda and seems like calibration is required. But my understand is that it is only required is custom ROMs are involved.

Any comments?

But at the rate that I am experiencing it is draining in just 5 hours... kinda strange...

Actually mine weren't intensively used at all. Just light surfing and FB. I do have my email Exchange synced but that typically doesn't impact the battery adversely.

Steven, I have similar experience as your with regards to the battery life. I am amazed that everyone is getting good results. For example last night I started at 99%. Within 30 minutes tinkering around the tablet, I'm down to 89%. Seems pretty quick.

At first I suspected maybe mine didn't have the 3G SIM in it and I had the GSM radio on causing it to drain as it tries to detect the SIM. So turned it off, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
