Verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G/LTE pre-orders June 8th - Galaxy Tab 10.1 General

http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/02/lte-galaxy-tab-10-1-gets-official-on-verizon-orders-start-june/
Info in the 4G GT 10.1 from Verizon. Pre-orders start June 8th, but no ship date mentioned yet.
"Verizon Wireless will offer two 4G LTE-enabled Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 models both priced with two year customer agreements: $529.99 for the 16GB model and $629.99 for the 32GB model. For more information on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, go to: www.verizonwireless.com/galaxytab4glte."
Price seems a bit high considering it's with a 2 year contract. Hmm..
And more importantly, the linked page gives some basic specs, but makes no mention of micro SD (was assuming the 4G version might have this if the Wifi one doesn't).

microSD Card slot please?
Will there be a microSD card slot w/ this 4G version? If so, curse you Verizon/Samsung for you have successfully wooed me away from the WiFi only version!
DANG IT!!

I would go ahead a say that the price is insanely too high. So basically you are required to get a 2 year contract with almost no subsidized price incentive.
So the Verizon has moved to the next level of how far they can push the bar in their favor. You are now required to have a 2 year contract with all of its ETF glory to even have the privilege of purchasing a Galaxy 10.1 at near full price from them.
Wow, how far we have come from the options of full price but no contract or almost free but 2 years required. Excellent. Now we can only hope for this to be soaked up by debut ridden folks quickly....

The following is basically assumptions and guesses on my part.
I'm assuming Verizon is subsidizing about $200 on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G (that is what they subsidized on the Xoom). And the off contract price for the 16GB model is $730.
That means you are paying $230 for the 4G modem.
The Motorola Xoom for example costs $800 for the 3G/4G model and $600 for the wifi model. So you are paying $200 for it's 3G modem with free 4G upgrade later.
So the 4G modem in the Galaxy tab is only $30 more compared to the Xoom and you won't have to go through the hassle of shipping your tablet in for a 4G upgrade.
Also there is the possibility the 4G model has micro SD, so that might also be while the 4G model costs a bit more.
So the price seems a bit high, but maybe there is a reason for it. Just wish these carriers would subsidize more than $200 on these tablets. And I don't get why these modems add so much to the price of a tablet in the first place.

The big question is whether Verizon is going to deface the device with their logo....

price is right in line with the xoom as the OP mentioned.
nobody said tablets were or had to be cheap.

How much would you buy the Galaxy Tab now?

Since the wi-fi version will come out on April 4 and the fact that the SGT has been out since November, how much do you think is a good price for a used SGT?
I have looked on Craigslist and the average price for the T-mobile version is $400.
There seems to not be a lot of AT&T version.
I do not want the Sprint or Verizon version.
Do you think a used SGT for $400 at this time is a good deal or should it be less?
I have the Xoom currently but I want to buy the SGT for my wife. It is small enough to put it in her purse.
Another question for you guys:
1. Would you buy the brand new AT&T SGT with its current price or a used $400 (with no tax) on a T-mobile SGT ?
Thanks.
I paid $499 for my VZW Tab and it was worth every penny. If you are buying it for what it does out of the box you won't be disappointed. If your like every other idiot I've met and you buy Android devices for what some developer MAY develop EVENTUALLY or not at all, you will be disappointed.
I also think $400 is a little high atm for a used Tab.
$300.00CDN. No more.
My threshold was sub $300. When it hit $299 at Costco for the VZW tab without a contract, I jumped on it. Development and BT capabilities are behind their GSM brethen, but it was worth the significant savings to me and it runs well for me overclocked to 1.4ghz.
I just paid 300 usd for my sprint one and love it. I dont like any other carriers data plans.

Interesting that Samsung moved the power and volume buttons to the left side of the tablet. Probably due to the added antennas in the top for cellular. Pricing is quite high considering they are locking you into a 2 year contract. I liked how AT&T marketed the 7" Tab with no contract the same way Apple does. I would buy a 3G Tab if there was no contract required. Here's hoping AT&T does the same thing if they get the 10.1 model.

AT&T will open the SGS III pre-order books on June 6 as well

There is hardly an element of surprise here, given the fact that most US carriers announced it a few hours ago. AT&T Wireless will also begin taking pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S III on June 6.The LTE sporting smartphone will be priced at $199.99 with a two-year commitment for a 16GB version - right in line with what the other carriers will be asking for it. Curiously enough though, there might not be a 32GB version on offer. Instead, AT&T sales representatives will offer you a 16GB microSD card for an extra $39.
AT&T will also offer the handset in an exclusive red color scheme at some point this summer. This makes the carrier the most patriotic among its counterparts, as it will offer its Samsung Galaxy S III lineup in the same colors as the US flag.

ONE DAY ONLY: $49.99 Galaxy S3 available from Best Buy on December 16: All Carriers!

"In case you still haven’t purchased a Galaxy S3, the best-sold Android handset to date and one of Samsung’s 2012 flagship products, you may want to do so tomorrow, as Best Buy is ready to offer you the device for just $49.99.
This isn’t the first time Best Buy is discounting the Galaxy S3, and just like before, the deal will be available for a limited time – in this case just this Sunday.
Naturally, in order to take advantage of the deal, you’ll still have to sign a new two-year agreement with the carrier of your choice – in this case either Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile. What’s worth noticing is that this time around, Best Buy’s Galaxy S3 deal is available with any of the four main U.S. mobile operators.
While Android fans are already talking about the Galaxy S4, the Galaxy S3 is still a great handset and definitely a great Christmas present, despite being just six months old, which is a lot in Android time
Are you buying the Galaxy S3 from Best Buy tomorrow, or are you looking for a different Android Christmas deal?"

Sprint
Sprint has confirmed that it will offer both devices through its leasing program. The Galaxy S6 with 32GB of storage can be had for $80 a month, which covers both the service and device cost. The Galaxy S6 Edge will cost $85 a month. Sprint customers can upgrade to the 64GB model for $5 extra a month, or $10 more for the 128GB model. Sprint's Boost Mobile prepaid arm is offering the Galaxy S6 starting at $650 without a contract. The carrier didn't announce pricing for devices purchased on a two-year contract or at full retail.
Why AT&T gets away charging $85 more than Verizon baffles me. But hey at least higher storage capacities are available and it's not just 32gb. Why we can't have the emerald green and blue variants I'll never understand.
Oy... I wasn't in pain until I saw the full $$$ amount of the 128 Edge in writing.
Oh well... better make a stiff drink and go ahead and get this out of the way -_-
anybody else mad we only get 3 colors?
and on top of that verizon is only doing black and white.
why can't samsung just sell devices on their website, this **** is annoying.
Looks like AT&T'S pre-orders are live. Not sure how long but I just went to att.com and noticed

I'm mad and simultaneously happy.
I was getting nowhere on deciding between the Emerald S6 Edge and the Black Sapphire, but seeing as the Emerald one isn't even a choice, it made the decision easier lol.
Of course, I might end up buying the Emerald one and selling the Black Sapphire depending... but for now, I'm good.
I'm also a little salty that AT&T didn't bother throwing in a wireless charging pad with pre-orders or something. Considering the price of the phone (and the fact that Best Buy is offering the the pad for pre-orders) they really could have thrown people a bone. Especially since it appears they decided to put their damn branding on the back of the device -_-
I did some digging and found the sprint prices for 2 year agreement by logging into my account and going to shop for phones.
32 gb $199.99
64 gb 349.99
128 gb 449.99
That's a little steep imo for the 64 gb one. I don't know about you guys.

Exactly so annoying...every other manufacturer does that. It's like Samsung is fully bent over back to carriers.

According to Sprint's website, the prices are actually
$199/$299/$399
$299/$399
for the standard and edge respectively. Looks like the 128GB Edge might not be happening though?
I thought we were finally at a point last year when storage bumps were $50 instead of $100.

Because they can. No other reason. They do it to raise the cost of the monthly installment payments.

That's odd. Maybe the upgrade prices are different from purchase prices. I double checked and it still shows what I posted.
