I've given up waiting for a WiFi Galaxy Tab to be available and want to get one before Christmas. I don't plan on signing up for a data plan andjust want the device. Which carrier should I get if from?
I think all of them have /some/ bits and pieces, Verizon being the worst as always.
But nothing rooting/root explorer/titanium backup and ADW.Launcher shouldn't be able to work around to get a 'clean' looking setup.
Thanks. So should I get the cheapest on offer or is there anything else I should look out for?
I'd say T-Mobile and Sprint are the best.
Keep in mind that T-mobile and ATT have 16gb internal memory where as Sprint and Verizon oniy have 2 GB.
ATT and Verizon have pay as you go type plans that can be stopped and started at any time.
ATT is the only version that can be currently flashed with the European firmware which allows voice calling and 3g data in the US. (This also removes any restrictions and bloatware.)
With all those data points in mind, I plan to go with ATT.

But the Sprint Tab comes with a 16GB memory card according to the site.
I believe they all come with a 16gb card. Att and t-mobile also have another 16gb internal, were sprint and verizon only have 2gb internal.

That's incorrect...those with the 16gb internal memory, DON'T INCLUDE a 16gb microSD.
Here's the difference:
Take a look at the memory specs for each:
AT&T: 512MB (ROM) + 512MB (RAM) + 128MB (One D-RAM) + 2GB (User Memory) + 16GB (Internal Memory) + Up to 32GB with optional microSD card (External Memory)
Sprint: 512MB(ROM) + 512MB(RAM) + 128MB(One D-RAM) + 2GB (User Memory) + 16GB microSD card preinstalled (supports up to 32GB microSD card)
T-Mobile: 512MB(ROM) + 512MB(RAM) + 128MB(One D-RAM) + 16GB (Internal User Memory) + (supports up to 32GB microSD)
U.S. Cellular: 512MB(ROM) + 512MB(RAM) + 128MB(One D-RAM) + 2GB (User Memory) + 16GB microSD card preinstalled (supports up to 32GB microSD card)
Verizon: 512MB(ROM) + 592MB(RAM) + 128MB(One D-RAM) + 2GB (User Memory) + 16GB microSD card preinstalled (supports up to 32GB microSD card)

Not everyone cares for using a 7 inch device as a cell phone. I already have a cell phone that does that and quite well.
Wish they'd just come out with a wifi only version.
Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
Guess i believed wrong . I would still go with the at&t version or t-mobile for the internal 16gb + optional 32gb microsd card.

Samsung galaxy tab coming to sprint nov. 14 hopefully with 4G
http://androidapproved.com/item/sprint-galaxy-tab-coming-november-14th/
Yea, too bad the CDMA Sprint version only has 2GB of internal memory where the GSM unlocked version has 16GB or 32GB internal. So stupid... Wonder if the at&t version will have 16GB or 32GB.. oh wait, they only support the iPhone... The at&t version will be lucky to even have a front facing camera! I think there is an unlocked US version thou with at&t 3g SPECS..?
I might be wrong because one never can tell what's going on in Yankee techno waters, but there are two kinds of internal storage - built-in nand (2gb) and built-in sd (16 or 32). All tabs will have the 2gb as well as either 16 or 32 of flash.

I think you are right.
Hi,
I have a rooted HTC Aria (Liberty) wth Froyo 2.2 on the AT&T USA network. While I love the phone, it seems like the 185MB of internal memory is not as robust and large as what I need, given I frequently get low disk space warnings. I have abut 15MB right now and have moved all of the apps that are posisble to my SD card.
UPDATE....So I am looking for another similar phone that is gnerally not "sold" by AT&T, that could be rooted, run 2.2, and has HTC Sense with larger intermal memory.
Ordered an HTC Desire Z from plemix.com for $550 and now worried it will not do 3G on AT&T...uh -oh...
Comments, thoughts, ideas etc. more than welcome and including how to get some internal memory back.
Thanks,
malloy0

If it's the North American version that supports 850 and 1900mhz then you're fine. If not.. then big uh oh.
Edit:
Straight from Plemix.com per Desire Z they sell:
"HSDPA 900 / 2100 MHz (3G Is NOT Compatible In US & CA)"
Here is the one you needed to order:

kaschenberg...thanks!
As it turned out I called Plemix customer service, spoke with Paul and they canceled the order. WOW! They are in Hong Kong. Talk about service.
So now I will look at ordering the phone at this link

Again THANK YOU!

Oh it was as easy as to run A2SD with moving the dalvik cache to the ext partition. Now I have 512mb to install stuff. With a class 6 memory, there's no lag.
Darius, thanks.
Did some searching on A2SD and found a couple of guides, but wondering if I can tap into what you have already done? Is there one method better / easier then another?

This is my ONLY gripe about the Aria, will look into A2SD. Desire Z looks like a great phone, it is the G2 on t-mobile here in America.
Real quick question: Ive been wanting to treat myself this christmas with a samsung tab, but the only thing I don't know is which carrier I should buy it from. I don't truly ever plan on using a data plan on this rather just wifi, so which one has the best features all together on it? I heard ATT had the best tab because it has the most internal memory, is this true? Thank you!!
I don't have one (yet) but from what I understand.....AT&T and TMobile have 16GB internal whereas the Sprint and Verizon have only 2. all models do however have the open microSD card slot
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2372723,00.asp
"the T-Mobile and AT&T versions have more built-in memory: 16GB as opposed to the Sprint and Verizon models' 2GB."
Cowboom has a galaxy 7inch tab special with sprint 3g.
Not sure if its a true deal since I'm on at&t, but i'm sure XDA's cooked something up regardless to make this thing decent.
http://www.cowboom.com/deal-of-the-day.cfm
FYI - Sprint model has only 2GB of internal memory unlike VZW, AT&T, and T-Mobile versions which all have 16GB built-in. That said, they all have microSD slots.
same boat
my vzw sgt only has a 2 gig internal data partition as well(grumble, grumble, :\ )
Currently Samsung has stated that EU/NA markets will get only 32GB built-in memory models.
Korea and perhaps some other Asian markets will get 64GB - at some point in time.
Currently no official information (as of 25/2/2016) is available from Samsung on:
- 64GB model release dates/countries
- 64GB model supported 3G/UMTS/LTE network frequencies (bands)
Previously one could buy for example 128GB special model of Note5 from Korea. However this model would NOT include support for all US/EU network frequencies.
So, if you know of 64GB model information, release dates, prices, countries or frequency support, please post here.
Some sites are already listing the 64GB versions of SM-G935F
PhoneEgg (no price) - S7 Edge SM-G935F (Exnynos version)
http://www.phonegg.com/phone/7140-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-edge-SM-G935F-64GB
PhoneEgg (no price) - S7 Edge SM-G935FD (LTE Snapdragon version)
http://es.phonegg.com/phone/7154-Samsung-Galaxy-S7-edge-SM-G935FD-64GB
Phonecurry (India, Rs. 70 000 estimated) - S7 Edge 64GB - launch perhaps in March 2016
http://www.phonecurry.com/show-mobile.php?phone=Samsung-Galaxy-S7-Edge-64GB
91mobiles (India, Rs. 64 000 estimated)- S7 Edge 64GB Exynos/LTE Version - Expected March 25th
http://www.91mobiles.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-64gb-price-in-india
Again in India: http://www.mobilephones.co.in/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-64gb/
It indicates LTE bans 3 and 40
With all the gear VR stuff and game being almost 1 gb nowadays. I am really compelled to get the 64Gb variant. Cant find much online. Any sites you can buy them from? All seem to be coming soon.
Why do you need a 64gb version at all? I have the 32gb european model, a 128gb micro sd partitioned 50/50 and formatted fat32/ext2. Then I rooted my handset and use Link2Sd Paid and every App (Data and Obb files too) are transfered to the ext2... I have over 500 apps on handset, lots of which are 2gb games and my internal storage still has over 20gb free... Job Done [emoji39]

Cause if you use 2 sim cards, 32GB is not enough.

I can't seem to find a 64gb model anywhere? There is like 1 on amazon or ebay but i don't think it's real, gsm larena listed it as a 32 and 64gb lol
