I bought a couple of gel cases for them. I will have to get sd cards soon or wait till after christmas. The tabs are only 8gb storage so will probably get another 8gb sd cards for them. 12gb is enough for them

I guess Samsung is trying to push their ChatOn service.
Does it actually work on the Sprint GT3? I haven't tried yet.

Although you can't download it from the play store directly to the Tab 3, if you have an android phone you can download BBM and then using AppMonster save the APK file then send it to the Tab 3 over whatever means, (Bluetooth or wifi direct for example) then install it and set it up. Works great. Just have to get other friends on there too.

There's a link for BBM if you don't feel like going through all that I described above.

BestBuy had all weekend and still yesteryear a micro SD Sandisk Ultra 32GB for $16.99. Needless to say I got me one!

The same card with 8GB was $9.99 and I think the 64GB was $32.99.

Thanks, I might try it.
But for now we don't use it for texting. And talkatone actually works flawlessly for texting and phone calls. We'll see.

I'm using my old Sony 8GB microSD that was part of the Xperia X10 back in 2010, all I have on it are comics & eBooks. I will eventually upgrade it to something bigger, like a Class 10 64GB microSD.

I currently have a 32GB Class 4 in my S4...will also be upgrading this to 64GB Class 10 as well.

Is the 7" Galaxy Tab 3 going to receive any Android updates or will it be stuck on 4.1.2?

Thinking of getting this tablet for my kids as a cheap starter.

Re: Galaxy Tab 3 7" Is it a good tablet????

Here's a comment I made a few days ago:

Best Buy here in Canada is now selling the Galaxy Tab 3 8" & 10.1" with Android 4.2...so where the hell is 4.2 for the 7"..?!

The 7" should be getting 4.2 since the above two already have it, those of us who got it when it came out in early summer got it with 4.1.2.

Are you in the US?
If you are, you could get the Sprint version, it comes with 4.2.2.

Or just get it anyways with 4.1, I'm pretty sure it will get updates.

Since its for your kids they won't notice anything different.

My kids love our GT3 and there isn't much difference that they can tell between my GS4 with 4.3 and the GT3 with 4.2.2.

Good luck!

No I'm in Canada, and sure the kids might not notice any difference, but the later versions of Jelly Bean include performance updates, so I'm sure 4.2 or 4.3 would be faster on the tablet than 4.1. I know the Tab 3 isn't anywhere near the best hardware, just want to make sure it's not sluggish when they use it.

Believe me, is not sluggish. Your kids will be happy to use it.

There is a 16GB version, here in Canada it costs CAD$299.99. I got the 8GB version for free through a promotion with TD Canada Trust.

Re: Galaxy Tab 3 7" Is it a good tablet????

Just had a play around with the tabs. It will do the job for sure. The you tube vids look really good. I updated them too. Still jb 4.1.2. But dont matter.
