I went to the SEP at The Gardens to check it out today..The salesperson said SGT 8.9 Inch can't make calls and send out SMS n it only supports 3G Data like the SGT 10.1 Inch..Find this quite odd as gsmarena states this device supports for Voice Communication,SMS n MMS..I sense something wrong here..Well only time will tell I guess

Had mine for 2 days.
Things I like.. A. Light. B. ..... <-- reserve if I can find any C. .... <-- reserve if I can find any Things I don't like A. Can't set to mass storage, to my Mac or windows. Unable to make kies work. So I bought USB connection kit... honeycomb issue I guess. B. "Recent apps" toggle is a joke. Cannot delete the list? wTH... let my daughter play with the tab, the list became very long, very impossible for me to detect my recent apps that I want. Someone need to reconfigure this I guess. C. Touch and drag icon experience is horrible. Maybe my fingger is too fast for the processor. The feeling on the old galaxy tab 7 is superbly better. D. Cannot make folder on the desktop out of the box. Need third party apps. E. Screen capture toggle.. handy, but don't really use it. F. Market only works on landscape. Portrait? Cannot.. .... beginning not to like this tab. It present itself just like i-device by refusing to be connected to PC. Still Googling how to: A. Delete access desktop, currently have 5. Want to reduce it to 2 or 3. B. Root C. Install custom rom. |

D. agreed E. sometimes will come in handy F. not an issue for me. B. yes recent apps. you have your point. i don't like it because i cannot delete the list or disable it. so, no privacy. as plain as that. C. not using live wall paper. tried with just black wallpaper, same result. it is not as smooth as my SGS2. am i the only one having this problem? or is it due to the ram. during idling it uses 313MB/724MB (after killing all processes). is it normal? |
