That is really a great price for the device. I paid more than Amazon's listed price just a month ago for my 7500.

Cheaper yesterday....
I have been tracking this soon to be selling item and yesterday it popped up for 799.00 from Amazon itself and 1400 bucks from mobilesityonline.com. In the afternoon, it refreshed the web page and claimed it was not in stock but will be soon. This morning i checked just for the heck of it and sure enuff its at a higher price but a good deal nonetheless. So Im not sure what happened here if they found out the price was too good to be true they had to ramp it up to milk a little more or what. I hope this isnt a bad trend they are getting into here.

$799 is even close to what MobilePlanet/Expansys charges for X7500 with $40/mo T-Mobile USA 2-Year contract.

I just remember that I paid more than $799 for a XDA II (Himalaya) 3.5 years ago.

Yeah I'm very interested in this. Is it confirmed that Amazon will start shipping around August 1st?

This one with the WM5. T Mobile is on Germany offering far better deals than that with a 2-year contract.

Yes, that's why I said it is 7500 (which is upgradeable to WM6 and comes with two cameras)
The one on Amazon is 7501.
CompUSA also has 7501 on their website now.

Price dropped by a whopping 10000 INR in India

Yes, thats true. The Indian SGT (GSM unlocked) which launched on 10th Nov, 2010 at 38,000 ($833) INR is now retailing at 28,000 INR ($614) on flipkart dot com.
I bought on launch at 38k from the same retailer. Never expected to fall the price this soon (barely 2 months). Feeling cheated. Planning to write to Samsung India about my feelings.

yes am getting it for 27k~ inr even in the samsung showrooms...was thinking to buy it..are u using the tab as a primary device or a secondary one ??

ruenigma,
In India the telcos did not offer any voice/data bundle plan with Galaxy TAB?
For me over at Singapore, I bought my Galaxy TAB for SG$248 (US$193) with the signed-up SG$56 (US$43.60)
(SG$44.10 (US$34.35) in actual under my corporate plan) voice/12GB data plan for 2 years contract.
Beside that, I also getting 1 Samsung bluetooth headset and 1 Sansdisk 16GB Class 4 Micro-SD card for free.
I even enjoy the 100st customer to win a pair of tickets for free fashion show and Korean pop star Seven mini live concert.

@Dare{D}evil using it as a secondary. Can't pocket it, so can't be primary. I carry a handset just for voice and text. Tab is used exclusively for data needs at home and in office. Never regretted the device itself, it is just the timing that I messed with.
@NewForce In India they do have data plans bundled with SGT but they don't carrier lock it for the same. Means you can wall out of a plan anytime (you may have to pay a marginal penalty).
Samsung India provided BT, carrying case and a car charger free of cost after I purchased the device. The online retailer also shipped the device with a 2GB sdcard and another BT.

I bought it for Rs.36500, feel extremely cheated because it's been over a month now but no sign of carry case, bt and charger. Samsung says it's out of stock and they will send it whenever. You are planning to write to them, what good that's gonna do?

Same here in the Philippines
SInce Indian Rupee and Philippine Peso are virtually 1:1, I have a sense of the scale you are talking about.
At launch, it cost around 35k to 40k here. Now, bnew and carrier unlocked can be had for as low as 27k, with weeks-old 2nd hand units going for 25k with screen protector and nice cases.
I got mine with a bundled data plan, and although the price is plunging, im still enjoying it very much (best portable media and movie player in the market tofay) so no worries

Even I feel bad that I bought it too soon. After I got it, Samsung bundled the case, charger & mapmyindia navigator.
Samsung has sent me a leather case, a bluetooth headset & the car charger later.
I still don't have the mapmyindia software.
I guess early adopters have negatives too. I guess they dropped the prices after the iPad was launched much cheaper than expected.

If you got 2gb sd card bundled with SGT, just check that card for mapmyindia installation file. This card comes with mapmyindia bundled

Xperia Tablet Z Owners Thread

This thread is for Xperia Tablet Z owners. Owners can discuss
which version of the tablet they bought
when they bought it
for how much did they buy it
and then discuss the general feedback, issues with the tablet, help each other out.
Me myself will be buying the tablet next week when it launches in India.

I've pre-ordered the 32GB black version of the Xperia Tablet Z for €549 + the official Sony leather case in black, which was only €40 instead of €80 during the pre-order period. I'm really looking forward to receive it! (just hoping that the availability date of 22 May is correct...)

Preordered mine from Sony about a month ago when they offered the 10% discount. So got it at about £360. Only got the 16GB version as I can expand on micro sd which I personally think would be more than sufficient for my usage.
On the Sony website it states that it has been handed to their shipping partners and it is on their way. So hopefully it'll get to me on time (fingers cross for it arriving early ) Can't wait to share my experience.

also an almost owner. should be in my hands on Tuesday.
ordered the 32gig wifi version with dock for around 530 euros
quite nice of them to have put that 10% discount on it that day
now im afraid i can't sleep anymore

Your New Sony Tablet Is On Its Way | Let the Fun Begin
Just received this from Sony:
thanks for choosing another Sony product
Your Sony® Tablet is on its way
well ahead of the May 24 expectation they set on the US Sony Store. Purchased the 16GB WiFi unit via our Corporate Perks EPP agreement - $449.99 USD + tax. Ordered it last week.

I got drunk the other night and pre-ordered the 16GB LTE version for € 628,99 + 80 for the flipcover from sony.nl, did I make a mistake? I never bought a device without thoroughly reading reviews and analyzing benchmarks. I hope the screen is better than the experia z but I have no idea

@godutch, you could have saved €40 on the case by buying it from another retailer.

I couldn't find any retailer, heck even this subforum didn't exist

Purchased a 32GB black wifi model from Japan from Yodobashi for 59800 yen which worked out after conversion to be 590AUD. Tried to get the cradle as well but they're sold out over there. Am hoping to buy the cradle once the Australian release happens (June).
The tablet Z is really nice, first thing most people say is that it's so thin and light which at 500 grams it is quite surprising!
The Throw feature and remote app has definitely come in handy when I'm on the couch and the remote is too far away

@hoarsehorse
Does your JP version have the tv antenna?

Anybody received their device except probably people at Singapore and Japan?

mine says del 21 st may hopefully il get it tmoz ordered 16 gb for £359
csnnot wait to get this beauty sold my n7 to get this

mine is NTT docomo model SO-03E, have the tv antenna near the headphone jack.
paid HKD 4380 (approx. US$565) to a HKG parallel importer retail shop on May 3, after Sony HK has announced the HK version at a rip-off price. HKD 5,298 (black 4G version with 16 gb storage, WITHOUT the charging dock)
3G version with 32GB storage in White color, WITH a black charge dock.
firmware version:
out of the box 10.1.E.0.244
OTA updated to 10.1.E.0.250
rooted using ROOT MANY ANDROID tool after 250 upgrade
except for the fact that the touch screen is too sensitive at times.
(while i am sliding my fingers during a list, 9 out of 10 times the touch screen would have reacted as if i have clicked somewhere and chose an item in a list.)
heard that new firmware version number 265 would have this fixed. but cannot do OTA update now that i am rooted...

India Pre-Order Waiting Room

Since we will start getting deliveries only from next week in India (hoping for 25th Onwards in major cities), thought of opening this thread to share and discuss the nervous excitement we all have before a new phone comes. I've ordered a Mystic Black Note 20 Ultra. Went for it since i got a good credit value on my Note 10+ which is still pretty incredible. With exchange, I had to pay INR 55470 and will get INR 10K voucher as well. So overall a pretty sweet deal. How about you guys? From which phone you are upgrading, where have you ordered it from and which city you are from.
Upgrading from: Note 10+ Aura Glow
Ordered: Note 20 Ultra Mystic Black
Ordered from: Samsung Website
City: Bangalore.
P.S: I'd suggest previous samsung owners to check samsung shop app on their phone before ordering the note 20 ultra. I got a INR 2000 discount coupon from that app.

I think you can continue HERE instead of having this "additional" thread.:good:

Thats more of a discussion thread. All other countries have the Per-Order threads so why not one for one of the biggest smartphone markets.
