Title says it all. If anyone else has one, might as well be here to answer any questions for anyone. I have the 32gb Bronze version.

I can also answer any questions if you have them. So far the screen is incredible, device is snappy, the new MIO wifi antenna works great I'm noticing faster speeds already. I am testing now how big of a file can be moved to the SD card, say like a game 1 gb. I am really enjoying the new size and feel of the tablet.

Let us know what you find out about the file moving abilities?

I tested this out the other night.. I downloaded madden 25 and fifa 14, one under a gig and one over a gig. I was able to move them to the ex sd card completely in 2 steps. I had to go to app manager and move to ex sd card and that moved the cache data part. I then located in SD the file under android the oob game files and copied those to my ex SD. I was able to do this and then unmount the card and the app had a grayed out icon that said on the SD. The downside to this was the game would. On play off the ex sd card, I would get the message downloading resource. So it's possible to save your game on the sd card but if you want to play it has to be put back on internal memory.

I love the tablet. It is so light. I've been reading magazines on it and its just great. The reviews are right about the screen, its the best one I've ever seen. I was using a Tab 8.4 before but wanted something larger and the size is perfect.

I work samsung sales and marketing and our ears are open to the feedback. I have also spent the last few days in BestBuy stores watching the responses of people to them. It has been very good and people are loving them as they should.
I also recommend u try out power saving modes Grey scale option for reading, also ultra power saving mode for over night.

my only complaint was that Best Buy didn't offer the free case deal. Wish there would be an option when you register the device to receive a free Book Cover or Simple Cover.

Best Buy did offer the additional $50 off if you trade in any tablet. I got over $50 for my trade in, but never got my $50 off coupon. Had to go back and was given it via gift card. Used it on my book cover.

Just played Dead Trigger 2 for 3 hours and 51 minutes with the screen at 70% brightness and have 75% charge remaining. So far, a very capable battery.

Best buy tried to sell me one last night when I bought my tablet at the store

yea looks like BB has the Logitech one in store. Haven't read anything about the Samsung keyboard. I think the Samsung keyboard might be better if you want to take it out of the casing often.

True technically but you can find one that does occasionally. Yes I know this makes no sense but that's how BestBuy is. Policies are "flexible" so always ask. Really depends on how much of a hard *** the manager is.
