I used one a few weeks ago (Samsung rep laughed when I started Hofoing on it).. I want one, and could def. see this replacing about 90% of what I do with my laptop.. but the price is way outta my range.

Just got mine and posting from it now. I wasn't planning to get one but I had to go to the doctor immediately after and wanted entertainment for the wait, so it was an impulse buy. First impressions are stellar.

Can't deny that.

I bought one yesterday but I haven't decided whether it's worth the price tag or not. I also have a 64GB iPad and the Galaxy Pad just isn't as snappy, but it does have it's own advantages and it's quite nice in its own right. I will say though, I absolutely would not have bought if I would have had to start a new line. Why? Because they offer absolutely no contract pricing discount what so ever. Luckily, I had a line I wasn't using and just swapped it to that line without a contract extension. However, when I went to the store, I went to buy a Pre 2 as it was rumored to come out yesterday, but they had no information about it and didn't get it in, but did get the Galaxy Tab (which was a complete surprise to me). So, being a hopeless gadget-whore, I couldn't leave without a new toy... so I took home the Galaxy Tab and I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping it.

And it's worth mentioning that the pictures a few posts back aren't entirely accurate. The siding is black, not silver, which I think looks great and super sleek.

Wow, awesome!

I tried one out at Best Buy the other day and I was more than pleased with the device overall. If this thing had been in the $400 it would have been difficult to walk out the door without one. However, the $600 price tag is just too steep IMO. If I'm going to throw down that much cha-ching I'm going to get me an iPad instead! I'm hoping that the flood of Android Tablets hitting the market soon will force prices down across the board. Right now I plan to hold out to see what the tablet market does even though it isn't easy waiting!

I already have a Verizon account and would like to use the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 as my cell phone. So far I've heard that Google Talk in conjunction with GrooveIP would do the job. But I was wondering if I could switch out the SIM from my cell into the Galaxy and get cell service.
