Just Ordered the 7.7 from Amazon UK

I've been waiting for a UK supplier to order the 7.7 and I've decided to get the 16Gb WIFI model from Amazon for £477. I already own a Note and hope to get the ICS upgrade for it soon. I understand the ICS upgrade for the 7.7 is due in March so I'll be on a common OS when that happens. I look forward to using the Forum when my 7.7 arrives next Tuesday.

Hi can you send me the link for that as i can only find the wi-fi only one for that price - are you sure it's the 3G?
Thanks

No problem, here it is:

Sorry, I think you are right, it is WIFI only but that is OK for me as I will use my Note for calls and tethering

I can't wait any longer. I just ordered one from Ebay UK. 425 for the 3g. I know its a grey import most likley but for the money? Edit: Warranty info removed, the Samsung warranty website UK accepts registration but the actual warranty situation is unknown.
Let's hope I don't regret it!

Good luck with your Ebay purchase which is a very good price for 3g. You are unlikely to need to use the warranty for Samsung produces good quality devices. I am upgrading an original 7 inch Tab which has 3g but only used the 3g once in over 12 months to make a phone call. So it was not worth having a SIM card with a data plan or even PAYG as I use my home WIFI and when I'm away from home I'll use my Note.

Is a good price. I'm a bit impatient too. However, I just found out it takes about five days to get money from my bank into paypal to pay for it..........so I'll have to wait!

You also have to pay fee for crediting PP account. Check the charges. Normal funding method is direct debit so foc if purchase through Ebay etc.

Well, I have a cunning plan (may well back fire) I reckon dev support for 3g will likley be better and I wanted to try and go to ONE device. I could then sell my sgs2 to get either note or take the sting out of an sgs3 when the time comes? I very rarely use phone just for key holder thing at work, mainly SMS and email

My local store in Switzerland has the 16GB 3G version for 569CHF (£390, 470EUR, or $619) and the WiFi only version for 469CHF (£322, 388EUR or $510)... excellent prices!
Will go down and check one out soon I think.

Ordered mine from panamoz in Hk. 16GB 3g model for £430 including postage. Arrived three days after order and I'm very happy with it.

another one bought via Panamoz - wifi only for me. Loving it. Those Swiss prices are v. good indeed.

I got mine (hk grey import)a week ago and I love it to bits. Now using it as my one device and my galaxy SII is lying dormant in a drawer.I paid $720. A bit steep I know but hey, I'm an early adopter with disposable income

Free ZooGue Stylus - Just pay S&H

Update: Just Ordered another one on 4/6/2012, coupon code still works!!!
Just got the email, first 50,000 are free.
Just use FreeZooGueAccessory as a promo code upon checkout, S&H is $3.49

I did this the last time they were offered out, nice silver ink pen with a stylus attached.

Just ordered mine. Probably coming in next week. I'll let ya'll know!
If there's any left by that time.
Thanks!

thnx dude.

Thanks, I picked one up for my iPad (Which will be sold for a PadFone when it comes out)

Will it work for android devices? If so hoe much was S+H
Just my spare change.

This deal is awesome. You can now order 2 at a time. I have 6 of these cases now.

The styluses are advertised for different phones/tablets on the site, but any one of the ones advertised will work for any capacitive touch screen, whether it be android, iPhone, or windows phone. It just wont work with most windows mobile phones because of the resistive touch screen (it'll work with the HD2)

just got mine today.
it works on all my phones, tabs even on IL lottery Machine !
they could spend little less on the case of the pen, and make it lil more cheaper.
My reviews:
Shipping : Fast
Works : Great
Build Quality : 7 / 10

Hooooo yeah. Just got mine. Theyre pretty good! Will work on any capacative screen ofcourse. Gonna order some more.

Nice, just bought one. S+H to Brazil, if anyone is interested, was $6.99.

3.99 inside the US, and a dollar of it goes to charity. nicely done, ZooGue

Just ordered mine. Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks just order mines

Costco Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

Not sure if this is common knowledge here, but Costco sells this tab for 240$ with a case. Just figured I'd let y'all know.

Yes, it's been posted a few times. They also offer the tab 2 10.1 with case for 379.99 at selected stores.

Oh okay sorry for the repeat thread.

I might be wrong but I think it is more of a pouch than the actual case. Costco has the same offer on the 10.1 for $379.99

It is just a pouch, but it works good for me.

Picked it up to try but looks like I'll be returning..
- No ad hoc WiFi support
- No standard USB port to charge (must use Samsung cable to USB charge)
- Nearly every Gameloft game doesn't support 7"
- A few EA games work but are a bit sluggish
I really like it otherwise and would recommend if the above do not matter, but they are deal breakers for me. I tried a 10" too and find that 7" is mo betta for a mobile device. 10" just too big for me.
Nice thing about Costco is easy to return.

There is a way for ad hoc support. Few forums on that topic. Can use a previous wpa_supplicant file and replace it. Won't get into logistics but the tab needs to be rooted and permissions changed on the file and using Wi-Fi Tether change to a device profile w/SoftAp and you got tethering wirelessly. FYI.
Too bad for proprietary charger and games but extremely mobile.

If you are rooted you can fix two of your four issues and the charger is like that with any tablet you get.

I could see how not having a standard USB port would bother people, but that's nothing new to Samsung. Chances are that when people are doing their research online that they will see that.
I bought mine from BJ's Warehouse last weeek as it was on sale for $229 with the offical leather samsung pouch. (Samsung sells the pouch for $49 but I would not have paid for that as a separate accessory).
The tab was $20 bucks off but I purchased an extended 2 year warranty for $20 which includes accidental coverage. That gives three years total warranty, including the Mfr one year warranty (without accidental coverage).
If you are going to buy form BJ's they only have a 15 day return period for tablets but I have never had any return hassels from them.
I gave my wife my Original Verizon Samsung Tab 7 and I think she is hooked now on it.

Also, that's a great deal you got. I paid full price ($250) from Best Buy with full insurance for a year ($80 (Includes idiocy protection... I mean accident protection), since it will be my main device for basically everything) and feel like I got a little jipped but can definitely live with it since this is a GREAT tablet.

Well, it is not advertised, but the same $239.99 + pouch at all Costco locations. I bought mine there last week, call ahead, alot of stores sold out over the weekend.

Prices in store for Costco are always lower than they are online for their electronics from what I've seen. It could also be related to specials that are running for certain time periods with the coupon booklets they send out.

Well I'm not an expert, but I do travel a bit and end up visiting a few Costco stores. There is no sale or coupon. Some stores have the 7 inch and some stores have the 10 inch, while others have neither. They both come with a sleeve. $239 for the 7 inch and $379.00 for the 10 inch. With the addition of sales tax and not wanting the sleeve anyway, I bought mine online YMMV.

Any Samsung Deals?

Remember last year samsung offered a free flip-cover to all note II and S3 owners. Does anyone know of any promos for the note 3?
It's funny last year I was too late to use the promo, and the only color they sent me was a pink one.

Best I have seen is 50% of all accessories under $50 direct from them. You get the coupon code once you register your new device.

But checking the Sammy website, I don't see many GN3 accessories so they might not be sending anything out because they have no stock yet (could be wrong).

Where to buy Galaxy Tab A 8 (2019) with S Pen (SM-P200 or SM-P205)?

I am from the US and can't seem to find an online store that sells it. Is it possible to use the Asia or UK variant in the US? It's the perfect size for note taking at work and much more convenient with the built-in S Pen.

They also have the sm-p200 which I just ordered. Free shipping to US is hard to beat.
I believe they are in hong kong but the site is very US friendly with prices in dollars and they take paypal.
If you are asking about using cellular in the us I have not seen any reviews on that yet. The bands all look pretty familiar though.
I just went with wifi as I would rarely have a need for cellular on the tablet.

I would get the LTE version since I use it for work. I am concerned with the 4200 mAh battery. That's even less than the S10+ 5G in a much larger package.
I would happily pay $500 for this tablet:
8 inch & built-in S Pen
4:3 or 3:2 aspect ratio
SD835 or better
4GB of RAM
64GB of UFS2.1

Did you recieve your order yet? I ordered the tablet from this site like two wks ago and I still havent got it. They told me they ran out and will restock in 5days so after I emailed them again after 5days but its been delayed for another wk apparently. Im running out of patient/trust so Idk if i should cancel or not. This is the only site that has a good price w/free shipping though

No I cancelled. Can't stand sites that sell things they do not have. I don't think anybody has it right now.

I too placed an order with TobyDeals and have been waiting for 3 weeks. The buying options right now are limited. I haven't seen any listings on eBay, Amazon, or Alibaba. There should be greater availability in the coming months.
My reality is that I am desperate. I've been using a Samsung tablet as my primary phone for the past decade. I was quite happy with my 2015 Tab A 8" until it broke 18 months ago. I've been waiting for the updated version of this tablet for a long time. In the interim, I bought a Tab S3. It was too big to be my daily driver. So I bought a Note 9 and have been using it. But it's too small. I am looking forward to enjoying the new Tab A 8". I know its the perfect size for me.

Anybody received the order yet? I ordered Wifi version sm-p200 from Toby almost two wks ago and it's still in process.
They told me they will restock in 3days, I will wait till Thursday and will resend email.

I've got a similar experience so far.
I ordered from them last Wednesday (5/22). Sent an email (to [email protected]) last night requesting a status on the order.
Got an email reply early this morning stating that they are currently out of stock and "more stock to arrive in the next 3 working days".

Mine just arrived too!
So that makes it 2 days after their email letting me know that it had been dispatched from their warehouse.
I'm at work right now, so I'll give it a closer inspection once I get home later.

I got mine through a seller on ebay. It seemed sketchy but after confirming his paypal email was correct and matched his little online shop I decided to give it a shot.
Took about a week from Israel, but it did hit new york during memorial day weekend so it sat there for 3 days.
He does have more if anyone wants to try (pm for his contact info), but toby deals is probably cheaper and faster IF they have stock.

So I ordered the SM-P200 from tobydealsau.com on May 22 and it arrived yesterday. Happy it did not take as long as others have reported -- I was a little nervous after I saw what others experienced.
It arrived well packed and the box was well sealed. As far as I can tell it looks brand new and genuine. The box was sealed and the serial numbers on the box and on the device matched.
It came with a European usb power supply, but included an adapter for US.
So far it is working as expected.

How's the performance? I do a lot of split screen with YouTube and Chrome. My concern is that the 3 GB of RAM is not sufficient.

Was looking at buying the 10.1, but it was just too big. Glad I didn't pull the trigger, I would MUCH prefer the 8.0 especially with s-pen. Any guesses if this comes to the US officially?

@KevinN206 I rarely do split screen on mine, so I really don't have any expectations as to the performance in that situation.
But comparing it to my older SM-T380, I can see a noticeable performance upgrade.
