I bought one last Tuesday and it was delivered yesterday. It is a very good tablet, as long as you are not expecting it to be the successor to the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 -- that honor will go to the Galaxy Note 10.1 when it gets released.

Back to the Galaxy Tab 10.1:
* It's big but thin and light. It clearly was meant to be used in landscape mode most of the time, but I find it more comfortable to type in portrait mode.
* The screen looks great with good colors. It is very responsive and I'd say better calibrated than the screen in the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0.
* The 16 GB model will only give you 11.97 GB. The rest of the storage is reserved by/for the OS. Still, my previous tablet (original Toshiba Thrive 16 GB) only gave me 10.1 GB of that storage so Samsung wins here.
* Speakers sound very good... for a tablet.
* The cameras are pathetic. I don't mind because if it were for me, tablets would not have rear cameras, though the front-facing one could've used some improvement.

I can't comment on battery life yet, since I've had the tablet for less than 24 hours.

One thing I say in Android Central's review, that I haven't figured out how to do myself, is that they took screen captures of the lock screen. I can't get that to work. Anyways, I'm happy to have a tablet where I can save files to my memory card from all applications! (Toshiba locked the external SD in the Thrive so only their proprietary apps can write to it. All standard Android apps are limited to saving in internal storage only.)

I love my tab 2..10.1...screen is gorgeous and typing is much better than my previous tab 10.1 original.

I just got mine and this is my first tablet! Biggest problem -- finding a better wallpaper and a colorful case. I'm trying some of the wallpapers here. But I just LOVE it!!

I just bought one used off ebay and now I'm trying to find the best screen protector.

I found this one on amazon, but i'm not sure its going to be the best one especially since there are some cheaper alternatives. Anyone have one of these?/??Amazon.com: ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Screen Protector Shield + Lifetime Replacements: Computers & Accessories

Bought one for my 9yr old son who wanted it over a laptop.....got bluetooth keyboard, screen protector, and case too.

I bought the regular Zagg at Best Buy and had them install it for $15.00 it has been frustrating as I have had to go back and I am still not happy ... they said they would put a new one on if I have to go back which I am. Little bubbles appear for no reason so I would not recommend that brand for a tablet. However, I am happy with the Zagg screen protector they installed on my Razr. I played some reviews on youtube. You might go there.

I got one for Fathers' Day. Just really getting a chance to get it setup and tweaked the way I want it. It is very nice. I can't complain...much. I have noticed two problems. 1. 1ghz dual core is not enough for a me. 2. There aren't nearly enough tablet specific apps.

And where do I find this forum? I would love to find an answer as to why sync is unavailable. When I first got my tablet it worked, all my settings are correct, etc.

I just purchased one and I am waiting for delivery. i kind of wished I had the patience to wait until I had enough for the Galaxy Note 10.1 since it has the quad core processor and 2gb of ram. However, I already own the Galaxy 2 7.0 and if the experience with the 10.1 is anything like its little brother, I will be more than satisfied. The 7 is smooth. I added the SPB shell to it and it works very well. I have had multiple apps open and only realize a slow down if I have about 8 or 9 open at the same time. Can't wait to see what the 10.1 feels like. I have an Ipad and it's ios is getting to be boring since I've had the Galaxy with ics. My 10.1 should arrive by Friday.
