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

Ill so that since I hear horror stories about unit not turning on if they run battery dead.

Yeah I agree. I have had that problem with one of my galaxy players but never with my tablet, but have never let the tablet battery die completely and would not suggest it. Just charge it when the screen goes dim (at 5%) and you'll be fine.

Is that issue with all galaxy or only the Tab 3? Wonder if samsung will have a update or fix

I would imagine with all? Not completely sure though. I know I have had the problem on my galaxy player and now reading about it with the tab 3's it makes me wonder.

I see you also have the Z10. I'm a Q10 user myself and the Tab 3 amongst other tablets. Glad to see another user that can appreciate using multiple platforms.

I think bb10 is a great product, looking forward to the 10.2.1 update next week! Saw the tab 3 at best buy and couldnt resist the $149 price tag and took the opportunity to dip my toe into the andriod ecosystem . Im very happy I did!

My kid runs his GT3 until the battery is dead, since 2 months ago!
That tablet is still going. 👍😆

I have run my Galaxy S4 until battery is dead several times since I got it back in July.

So far no problems with the phone or the battery.

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

Well it seems that everyone I talked to at Sprint is a F-ing liar, first back in November telling me, "oh yeah, the Tab 3 deal ends in a few days, same with the 2 gig data plan for 15 bucks deal." Then I was told the same thing would happen right after the holidays. Well, both deals are still going on, I haven't pulled the trigger on it yet, since my finances are fail right now, but hopefully Sprint keeps this deal as a way to get customers?

From the beginning no store employee knew how long the deal would last, but at least the stores I visited never lied to me.

I'm thinking all the carriers are trying to get rid of all those tablets to make way for the new ones. I've noticed most (if not all) the stores around here don't have the white one anymore, they can't even order it.

Even the TV commercials don't show the white one anymore.

I think some retailers had the WiFi version with 8 GB for $150. If you can't pay that now you can always try to get one at Sprint and get the cheapest plan, $5/month.

That'll be around $120 at the end of the 2 year agreement plus the initial payment of $50.

Man I know how you must feel, believe me. Why don't you go on Tuesday into a Sprint store. Tell them that you heard about a Tuesday special were you can get $50 off a tablet, and because of that, the GT3 would end up been free. 😉
