Been Waiting for This [First]

[werkx]

current tab 10.1 wifi owner here. i definitely would consider an LTE/4G version and with it being a little more portable at 8.9, i think this might be the right one. i think the only thing stopping me would be data pricing. anyone else?

I am a fan of the AT&T data pricing model, where you can go month to month if you choose to, so I hope that AT&T carries this device.

This will probably be my choice as well as soon as they release an LTE compatable version. I think it's rumored for November on Verizon.

I've been waiting for this tablet to come out but now that the 7.7 came out today with the SD card and Amoled screen...choices.

Any idea when the wifi only version is scheduled to be released?

This is the tablet I originally wanted, but when Staples put out their $100 off tablet coupon I couldn't resist the GT 10.1.

actually, the 7.7 model was interesting, too, but looks like they pulled it.

for those buying from mobile carriers like ATT, VZN, Sprint, etc. how much of a price difference between ones with mobile radio added and just plain wifi? as mentioned by @Major, month-to-month data plan is nice, as i don't need it everyday. just when i travel, which unfortunately is not as often as i'd like anymore.

i might have to post this question in a more general area.

3 months ago I was 100% sure I'd get this the minute it was available, Now, I'm not so sure.

If they upgrade with a SD card slot so I can expand the memory I will buy one. If not I will wait for the next model. A little frustrating that they announce these models in Feb and its Sept and still no launch.

Interesting that the 8.9 has a micro usb, while the 10.1 does not. Could be of value to some customers.

That's a start, but this thing really needs a micro sdcard slot. If it had that, is be in.

Doesn't say that on bestbuy or the Samsung site. If that is true I may be in. Now Im just woried about Samsung updating this thing. They suck at updates on their phones.

 

[ThunderFan]

Anyone seen this thing on display anywhere?

 

[ShawnMeds23]

Will this have a micro SD slot? I dont see it on Samsung or bestbuy either.

 

[ThunderFan]

I don't see it on bestbuy's, samsungs, or engadgets specs so I think its doubtful at best at this point. I think that would be something they advertised heavily.

No external storage, and $469.00? No thanks. At $399.00 I would buy it. I think $399.00 is the right price for a 10 inch tablet, so I'd have a hard time dropping 470 clams on this one.
