Can someone please help clarify info on the GSM Galaxy Tab 10.1 for me?

So I'm interested in getting an unlocked Galaxy Tab 10.1 w\ GSM support, so I went out on the intertubes and searched it. I'm seeing there's a 10.1 and a 10.1v that have "GSM support" which I'd assume are quad band and will work with GSM frequencies around the world?
I'm curious if anyone knows where online or offline these can be purchased. I read that people had bought them from Vodafone UK, but going to their site it shows they're not even released yet.
Thanks!

3G (GSM) version of Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not yet released. It will be released in Europe in the beginning of July. Can be purchased then from Amazon.de or notebooksbilliger.de for around 600 EUR (3G, 16 GB version, no microSD slot)

Does Amazon.de deliver to the US?
What's the diff between the 10.1v and the 10.1? I remember reading that one was the thinner model, but can't remember which was which.
Thanks!

Not sure about Amazon.de delivering to US, but most probably they dont.
Because Amazon.com does not deliver to Europe either
The new one is 10.1.
The 10.1v is the old one (thicker), so don't buy this 10.1v.

Hmm, good info on 10.1 vs 10.1v.
I guess a trip to London will be in my future... just sucks they don't release these models in the US... we get hosed with the USD>EUR or USD>GBP conversion, lol

Why are you telling people not to buy the 10.1v? 10.1v is superior..

Elaborate...

Um, 10.1V Had around an hour more battery. 3MP Camera compared to 8MP is nothing to 'lol' about either.
EDIT* The only thing better about the 10.1 is that's it lighter and thinner.

10.1v is the old model, why do you want to buy older model?
10.1v is still not officially updated to Android 3.1, and we don't know when it will get the update?
10.1v is thicker, this is personal and I like the look of the new 10.1
10.1v has 6800 mAH battery, the new one has 7000 mAH
10.1 has cool flip cover:
http://www.androidcentral.com/flip-case-samsung-galaxy-tab-101
Sure, the 10.1v has better rear camera (8MP vs 3MP), but I don't need that camera as I have my Android phone
So, those are some of my reasoning that enough for me to make decision to not buy the old 10.1v!

Or you can quote specs like they mean anything @ all as far as the battery. Is it really hard to go to Google and see 10.1V has better battery?
VERY good Camera
OR the fact that you can actually use 3G on the 10.1V?

I quoted the mAH number, that's all. Usage pattern might be different for each person, 10 hours yours might be 11 hours OR 9 hours mine
It depends on how do you use your tab, the apps/widgets that you have and the OS version (3.1 vs 3.01).
But, the mAH rate is something you can "compare".
This is the 10.1:
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1/spec.html
And this is the 10.1v:
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1v/specification.html
See that? 7000 mAH versus 6860 mAH.
And that's from the official Samsung website.
About 3G, both will have 3G model In Europe, the 10.1 3G will be released first, Amazon.de will have it end of this month.
Or are you saying the 10.1 will not have 3G model?
About the camera, the rear camera, I don't care
As I don't use rear camera on tablet anyway. I will look like an idiot making photo using that big device hehehehe. I use my phone for making photo!
Oh and I really like that cool flip cover of 10.1 !!!! LOL

Can't be mad with your nicely toned reply. But, what I am stating is the 10.1V is in all aspects= the 10.1 and having a 8MegaPixel Cam(Although im not a photo freak) and the ability right now to use a Sim card makes it superior. 3G 10.1 coming next month is not for U.S.....
10.1=10.1V I only am defending the 10.1V because the person told the guy not to buy it like it was a worse product...

Well, I am just stating facts and my opinion regarding both. I think that's clear from what you read here.
As it is my opinion, I think I am free to say that, telling anyone to not buy the older model.
I assume the OP can decide him or her self, whether to buy or not
I am not enforcing or anything. This is an open forum and I give my opinions with all my reasoning.

Odds are also, the GSM version being released in EU will not work on the US 3G bands, rather just the regular GPRS or Edge bands (except for Tmobile in some areas). ATT uses the 850 band, which is not used in EU.

Yeah it's a bummer AT&T has to be so different and difficult :-(
I travel internationally a lot, so I'd love a GSM version that works in most countries... lots easier than trying to find wifi everywhere.

Oh, I didn't say to buy one!
Just letting those that talked about US releases know that it's near.
Wifi and unlimited 4G phone tether with Sprint works fine for me...

The European 3G version will be quad band, so it will support both EU and US frequencies.
This is the specs from amazon.de.
Some speculation: The US version will use the same chip, doing otherwise would complicate things and that wouldn't make much sense. The FCC only mention the US frequencies because those are the only ones used over there.
I'm planning on getting the AT&T version, and bring it back to Europe in August.

Hmm weird. Engadget also missed it too.
No delivery date given though.

Unfortunately they are only selling the 16 GB model though
I just wish all phones were available on all carriers for the same price. I mean, I understand that carriers have to differentiate themselves and what not, but it just gets so frustrating and I see all my money drain away from me...

Same here, if it looks good that will be the one I go with. Sure we only get 16GB but we get a special color!

16gb is fine, I've got a 64gb card. That makes up for it.
Just checked with ATT, I am ready to upgrade
*639# on your phone will send you an SMS with your upgrade availability. I know most of you probably know that, just trying to save at least one person some time in searching.

Cool I forgot about that easy way to check, thanks. Hmmm I will be out of contract for the first time in yearsssss in a few weeks, what actual benefits are there of buying a non-contract phone? Is there an HSPA+ US variant I could buy and lower my databill to medianet if I wanted?

I don't see the 2GB RAM mentioned in US AT&T SIII "official" announcement. Didn't the other US providers mentioned 2GB RAM in their S III variants?

Not all the providers provided the specs. However, Samsung USA did announce that all US carriers will have S4 with 2gb.

Well, you could buy one of these out of contract. The international version is also an option. That one wouldn't have 4G LTE, but *should* have HSPA+. I'm sure somebody else can verify, I haven't looked into international phones much.

Correct, you can get the international version which will provide you with HSPA+ speeds but no LTE. You will also get the quad core Exynos with 1 GB of RAM versus the dual core with 2 GB that is in the US and Canada variants.

I know the ATT and roger model will be identical.
How about the T-mobile version?
Would the t-mobile version work with att once unlocked?
is all the NA version the same, and contain all the band?
I want the 32gig but I have ATT.

No, they don't "have to", they differentiate to reduce competition. So if you find "money drains away from you" for no good reason, perhaps it's time to buy unlocked.

Our phones hardly take advantage of the 1gb of RAM that they currently come with. What difference will 2gb of RAM make? Also, will the s4 snapdragon provide better battery life? I'd like to pre-order the pebble blue as soon as I can. I can't imagine the Red version looking good at all.

I'm really interested to see how the red will work. If it is a good shade of red (perhaps DR. Pepper can red), then I will be more inclined to get it. Tough choice though.
All I wanted was black lol

microSD cards are so cheap now, why does it matter that we only get the 16gb version? Hell, I'll take your $50, send you a class 10 16gb microSD card to make up the difference and I'll still have enough left to put a decent amount of gas in my car. Deal?

64GB One in the UK (whether and when)

Does anyone have any reliable info about when/if the 64GB version of the One will be available in Britain?
So far the only snippet I've found is this: www.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/htc-confirms-uk-plans-for-32gb-64gb-one-variants-r965
HTC has embarked on it's nationwide tour showing off the HTC One and it's not long until it hits these shores... but only in 32GB guise initially.
A HTC spokesperson confirmed to us that while both the 32GB and 64GB models will come to the UK in due course, the initial release will be of the 32GB variant.

I hate announcements like that. Even if we can trust it as accurate, there's no clue as to when. If it's going to be two weeks from now, then I want to cancel my 32GB pre-order and wait; but if it's going to be several months, I don't.
Anyone heard anything else?
Finally, a request: can we please NOT have any posts in this thread from people saying "you don't need 64GB"; quite possibly you don't, and that's great, I'm happy for you, and have no argument with you; but I do need 64, and am not especially interested in explaining why.

A good question is do you need LTE? If no look for an online store here in asia which could ship orders internationally. Asia will be getting 64gb versions this end of march.

Yes asia will most prolly get 64gb as they mite not get LTE..Htc is compensating by this.

Confirmed but no indication as to when it will be here:

I already posted that link.

I was at the HTC City Tour in Birmingham on Sunday. The leaflets they were giving out absolutely mention the 64GB variant for the UK. And when I asked when it will be released I was told shortly after the 32GB goes on sale. Couldn't get anything more precise than "shortly" though. It feels a great phone.

Galaxy S4 Question about US Market

Hello everyone who is eagerly anticipating to get their hands on an S4! I am aware of the fact that the U.S. version of the phone is going to be the quad-core version, but that's only for phones from carriers, correct? I really wanna get the octa-core version, albeit without taking advantage of 8 cores simultaneously. So, can we order the international version from a U.S. online retailer, when it's released?

Its not really known yet because we haven't even reached the pre-order date yet, however, there are several threads that have this question asked in them already. If you keep an eye on those threads I think your question will be answered as soon as someone knows.

Thanks, man! I figured there might be a couple of threads about that, but I didn't look around since it's easier to post a new thread. Anyway, sorry about that.

Sweet! Thanks! Even though I'm impatient, I'll have to wait for a while because I really don't want to be paying that much. Hopefully it will drop to $640 as it was projected.

I'm going to the US in july, and since here in Brazil we have many taxes, i'll buy my S4 in there. But I would like to know if I will find the octa-core ones on physical shops or they will sell the octa core one just in online shops?

You should be able to find both in shops non carrier shops should have them, if the carriers don't.
Not all customer service may know the difference between phones. So check the phone before buying.

GT-N5100 Note 8.0 3G

Does anyone know when the 3G version will be released? I have read in many reviews that battery life on the WiFi is not that impressive, do you think Samsung would ship the 3G version with a larger battery?

in Malaysia the Note 8 is launched with the 3G version already, on Friday.
all specs remain the same throughout

Shame it could have done with a bigger battery by all accounts. I'll still get one, (im)patiently waiting for a 3G version, any colour, any storage size in the UK.

I have been using Galaxy note 8 n5100 as my main phone since i bought it last april 13 here in the Philippines, the battery is pretty good it can last 10 to 12hour, with moderate calls and always connected data, autosync on moderate browsing and email with minimal gps use, the battery on this phone is way better than galaxy tab 7 plus which it replaced as my primary phone

Currently, Samsung does not seem to have any plan or intention to launch a phablet version of the device in the US. You'll likely either have to wait for them to come to their senses, or buy an international version.

I'm interested for the the international version.
Heard anything about that?

The 3G price would seem to be hovering around the $800 mark based on eBay listings for the GT-N5100, but it's availability still seems up in the air. Hopefully someone outside of the US can point you towards a reputable international seller with stock.

Wow. It will be so expensive.
Thanks for your help.

The 3G version retails around $580 in Asia. Prices will come down on eBay very soon.

I'm waiting for it in the US as well. There's a site called Negri Electronics located in Las Vegas, that has a pre order page for it, listed at $660 at the time of this post. From what I've heard, the international version should be released April 30, but I haven't found any confirmation. As far as releasing s US version, I'm sure they'll release an LTE version sooner or later for use with CDMA networks like Verizon and US Cellular, but if you plan on getting it going on T-Mobile (like me), it'll only run on their 1900mhz frequency, which allows phone calls, but mostly 2g data speeds, unless you're in an area where they've refarmed the 1900mhz frequency to run HSPA speeds. Good luck and let's hope they bring this bad boy to T-Mobile!

^Yeah, I went ahead and put in my preorder for the 16GB 3G + WiFi N5100 from Negri Electronics last week. It was the least expensive site that I could find, and I know that they are a reputable seller. And since they are in Las Vegas shipping is relatively fast to the Los Angeles area.
Up until early yesterday the site said that the "Expected Availability" date was April 23rd, but just this morning (Los Angeles time) I checked again, and now it says May 8th. Gotta wait a bit longer now and I'm chomping at the bit as it is, LOL. Still, I wish it were closer to just ~$100 (or less) of a premium for the 3G/Phone version instead of the blatant raping that it is.
And we all know that Samsung would sell EXPONENTIALLY more of these if they matched the iPad Mini pricing, and actually released the 32gb versions at the same time as the 16gb base model, and for just $30-$40 more. At least we DO have the option to add microSD cards at a reasonable cost, but really Samsung?...a $100 more for a measly 16gb additional? That's just cwazy. (Yes, I have the same issue with Apple regarding this!) And Samsung makes the RAM memory chips so it's probably something like 50¢ more in actual production cost. :/
Yes. I still ordered one, but it was not an easy (or rational) decision that I made, LOL! It's actually just a bit depressing to contemplate spending so much for their "shiny plastic products", when the competition offer much nicer physical or cosmetic designs and materials (IMO), and at less cost.
I really believe that Samsung creates amazing products, and ergonomically I prefer most of their products over Apple's in that regard. However, they did miss the mark with the speaker and capacitive button placement on the Note 8.0. And I don't know what the designers were thinking with the camera protruding so much that the tab rocks from side-to-side when placed on a table, desk, etc. :/ So much for accurate use of the S-pen (the hero feature of this device)!
IMO, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 is the ONLY Samsung mobile electronics device that I can think of where I feel they came even close to matching the build quality and physical design of their competition. But once again, they priced it way out of the market. :/
And I don't mind the use of plastics one bit if they are used properly like the polycarbonates used in some of the higher-end Nokia and HTC devices. I truly feel that when Samsung gets their build quality up to par that the vast majority of the public will have no problem paying Apple-level prices (or more), and they'll sell a bazillion just like Apple does. But they're demanding premium prices, even over what Apple demands, but for an inferior physical design/build quality (IMHO). Why does Samsung not "get this"?!? People expect a BMW or Mercedes when they pay the price for one, not a Citroen (no offense to any Citroen owners).
With the Galaxy S4, if Samsung had just stepped-up the build quality alone (plus the 13mp camera), and nothing more as compared to the GS3, I would have purchased it. But with the same 'ol shiny plastic, its just a "Meh" product to me.
Also, I was really hoping that they would have included the hardware FM Radio tuner on the International version of the Note 8.0, just as they did on the Int'l SGS2, SGS3, Note (N7000), and Note 2. Initially, I didn't think that I would use the FM tuner at all, but I've found that I use it quite a bit...saves quite a bit on data as opposed to streaming.
LOL, sorry that I veered so off topic, haha. /END OF RANT
I am very much looking forward to using the new Note 8.0!

Does the Note 8.0 Jelly bean android has the Profile option? Can multiple users work on one Note 8.0 with different profiles with thier own custimazations like Nexus 10?

Note 8 LTE
Any news about the LTE version? Which LTE bands? It should be already on the market.

I meant to ask whether you also got the complementary 50 GB dropbox space with the 8.0.

And we all know that Samsung would sell EXPONENTIALLY more of these if they matched the iPad Mini pricing, and actually released the 32gb versions at the same time as the 16gb base model, and for just $30-$40 more. At least we DO have the option to add microSD cards at a reasonable cost, but really Samsung?...a $100 more for a measly 16gb additional? That's just cwazy. (Yes, I have the same issue with Apple regarding this!) And Samsung makes the RAM memory chips so it's probably something like 50¢ more in actual production cost. :/

I suspect the a good chunk of the additional cost here is the license for the Wacom digitizer and related technology. Samsung is being extremely aggressive in their pricing and product diversity as a way to combat Apple, so I don't think they would risk letting a well loved brand like Apple undercut them without reason.

Agree, but Do you think that even more diversification would help Samsung?
I think they should think of introducing a Note 8.0 sans the digitiser. Then they can really target the iPad Mini. It would still be a great product as many online reviews (Engadget) claim so.
That would be the true spiritual successor to the 7.7
