I saw this too....Not bad. Only issue I have with this deal is that it's refurbished with only a 90-day warranty from woot and then you're on your own if it takes a crap.
hmmmm........

Return and get this one. Unless eBay one is new.
In Australia they are going for 299 new
swyped from a galaxy far far away...
Ok... i want one but i guess they dont send to sweden...
Given this deal, can the Sprint Tab be rooted and connected to Verizon's CDMA 3g, or is it permanently tied to Sprint's 3g network?
I'm thinking about buying it. I'm on the Viewsonic G Tablet forum only, so I don't know much about the Galaxy Tab development. How functional is the Honeycomb port for the Galaxy Tab? I just got Honeycomb installed on my GTab and so far its really good for an alpha build. The only thing not working is flash plugin, camera, and video hardware acceleration.
I just got mine from their last sale, and it works great, have had some over the air upgrades. I, too, have a viewsonic. I like the Galaxy size and the main reason was the built in GPS... Makes the Copilot work more reliable compared to the bluetooth Viewsonic. Of course the Viewsonic big screen is nicer to read documents and web...

Just bought one. I've got the wifi only version right now and really enjoy it. I'm listing that guy on ebay right now and I'm going to start the auction at $260 or so. It'll sell and I'll basically get upgraded hardware (faster processor, BT 3.0) at no cost. I'm down with that.
this must be limited availability... this is monster deal for 3G. thats 180euro
So If I have a current sprint plan with unlimited data, can this be added just like an extra line? obviously that wouldn't include the sprint hotspot. Or, will they require a separate plan?
I am about to hit Buy now, but is it worth it. Any serious opinions on the device from real users is what I like to hear, not reviewers. I own an iPad 2, which is hard to beat. Im no apple_boy either. Its the best thats why I own. Anyways I want a new Android tablet, I have owned one last year (Camangi WebStation) but I want to give it another go. How is the DEVin here, are there a few good ROMs?
I'm in for one, ready to upgrade from my Nook Color. Looking forward to the 1ghz processor and ff camera.

There are a few ROMs available... not near as active as say the HD2 forums or the Xoom forums... Overcome is pretty much the dominant ROM for GSM tabs. Alterbridge has both a 2.2 and a 2.3 rom available at the moment, and Spacemoose1 is currently working on development for Honeycomb for both the GSM and CDMA devices. If I didn't have one of these already, I'd be buying it... Someone point Deeper-Blue to this post so He and Space can develop HC together...
I've got a Nook Color as well and I am considering buying the G Tab on Woot too.
Not sure if I am going to pull the trigger on it, though. Besides cameras and a mic, what else would it give me that my rooted Nook Color doesn't have?
so it might be worth it. I was about to pull the trigger on the ASUS Transformer, but I went to best Buy this morning and it was sold out. I was available online there for like the past 3 days, now SOLD OUT
But I keep seeing these Galaxy Tabs for sale, some pretty good deals, its making me wonder if I should go Honeycomb, the post for this could be a ways away.
Put one on order for my dad, he's been drooling over my g tablet but I'm sure he'll be happy with one of these galaxy tabs. Couldn't beat the price.
Deal hit slickdeals, better hurry

Hi dear,
I'm going to get either Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Note.
The price difference between them is quite big..
GS2 is 730 NZD and Galaxy Note is 1199 NZD(as its just released?)
Do you think galaxy note has that much worthy?
What do think guys?
Hi,
I think it depends on what you want. I have my Note since todays morning and I can say its more of a small tablet than a mobile phone.
I like it relay much because I use it mainly as a internet device as I did with my nexus one before.
Try to get hands on both devices and decide after that.

I got the note for 550 euro (950~ nzd) so not sure where you get the huge price tag from. I have both the G2 and the Note and no matter what you use it for the Note is better. The huge screen is so pleasant for anything and if you do not own a tablet it is definitely worth it the extra 150~ euro.

Oh really?
There is only one shop selling note.
Probably I shouldn't purchase anytime soon..
And I own iPad 2 so.. Probably better wait until ppl review..
Also I saw the ICS will come to Note and S2 between in April and June next year.
It's my biggest concern... Should I get galaxy nexus?
Which is faster
I want to compare them from the performance point of view which is faster?

what about the performance which one is better
Note has a faster processor so in benchmarks it's faster. Thing is both are so fast I doubt it matters. Maybe ICS has higher hardware requirements and then the notes processor upgrade might help.

In fact, they use exactly the same processor, the only difference is that on note the voltage is higher so you can get a little more mhz at the cost of battery. The SII with any mod can have the same speed.

Welcome fellow Kiwi!
I assume you are looking at MobiCity for that $1200 ($1180 right this second) pricetag? For comparison, the Galaxy SII was $1120 on day one from MobiCity, so it's not that bad.
Buuut, you can order it from Expansys for NZ$1,074 shipped and save a hundred bucks.
Basically, if you like big screens and styli, the Note blows away the SII. If you really don't mind the screen size/res, then it's just a jumbo-sized SII with a CPU speed bump to match.

Hello mate!
But I'm not Kiwi. I'm Korean who is just studying in NZ
anyway, thank you for welcoming! haha
The shop I reserve for Galaxy Note is H2phone, not mobicity.
I saw that if I ordered it from mobicity, I might have to pay for tax to NZ custom.. so I would be around 1300!! Too expensive
Actually, yeah Note is more attractive to me than GS II due to the screen resolution and slightly different design!

Even if you're not born a Kiwi, I can still claim you for our country's forum representation.
Never heard of H2Phone, actually. It was $1199 on Mobicity a day or two ago, so I assumed that was where you got the price. You make a good point about GST though. Including GST, the Expansys price is about $1235 shipped, and Clove would be about $1160. Pity I'm based in Christchurch - I'd love to be able to grab one for an even $1200 from H2Phone.
And yes, the gigantic screen on the Note is a major factor - since it would effectively replace a tablet too, and has pen input, I'm willing to shell out a bit more for it, $1200 is about my limit though. Unless the 32GB Galaxy Nexus ends up being considerably cheaper.

Hey mate!
You are so sweet! Thanks for good info.
I found one auction on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/32078378918...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1287
It is selling Galaxy Nexus 32gb for only 640 USD including shipping!!!
I think I'd better wait for it.. but one problem is that
I'm going back to my home country, Korea on the 8th of Nov so
If I can't get it before the 8th, I won't be able to get it this year...t.t
as I do not want my parents to know that I spent too much money for a phone haha
anyway.... I also think the S-pen is so unique and worthy with GNote but the price..... I guess it will be dramatically dropped once I will be back to NZ.
What do you think mate?
If you were me, what would you do?
Get galaxy note on Monday morning or order galaxy nexus to Korea?
one more option... getting iPhone 4S?
Please advice me fellow!

I'd get the Galaxy Note.
At the moment, no one really knows how much the 32GB (or even 16GB) Nexus will cost, but it will probably be about NZ$1100-1150 since the 16GB model is being pegged at $1040, and won't be out for at least 3 weeks.
The Note has a bigger screen, higher res, (probably) faster CPU+GPU, and pen input for about $50 more. Not to mention dedicated buttons on the Note so you have more usable screen space all of the time.
On the other hand, the Nexus has Ice Cream Sandwich now instead of 2-3 months from now, and faster updates, it has a faster camera and.. that's about it. Unless the price comes out significantly cheaper than the Note, the Note is the better buy to me.
As for the iPhone 4S, it has a 3.5" screen. You can't get anything done on such a tiny, girly screen.
Sjael: Cool!
I made my decision. Tomorrow morning I'm gonna get Note
Yeah in terms of the spec of the Note, 2-3months or even longer doesn't really matter for ICS. Anyway it'll be surely getting it and it will look gorgeous on Note!
I have purchased so many apps in AppStore that's why I was considering to get iPhone 4s but I have iPad 2 so it'll be okay.
Thank you for really helpful advice Sjael!
Hope we can see in NZ some time soon
irrespective of what crap all are saying,,you must try galaxy note yourself,,try it yourself first,,it's too big{and i mean too big} for me,hardware is great but it's not a thing you will like to be your daily phone,,its very big so try it yourself before comparing it with anything else

Hey, I have one question..
In the other thread, the owners of GNote said it's laggy compared to Galaxy S2, is it right?
And as I said before, i play Internet with my phone quite often so the size of the Note doesn't really matter to me.
Please just let me know if it's too buggy and slower than galaxy s2.

Unfortunately it's not so easy to try it first in New Zealand, where phones typically come out 9-12 months later (if at all) than in the US/Europe, unless you import them.

HELP me guys, today i checked galaxy s3 in a store here and it was fast as hell compared to Note. i am literally so so worried to sell my note for S3 but the only reason is small hiccups that are there in Note! i am 1000000% satisfied with Note but the only reason i m selling is the small hiccups and thats it!
well, i just wanted to know what is the selling price of used Note in your country? i bought my 16Gb White Note on 24th March 2012 for US $605 or UK 392 Pounds, or Euros 456.
now this store here is ready take my Note for $ 410 or UK 266 Pounds or Euros 309.
what do u say is this price ok for my 2 months used Note? i know this is not a fair deal to sell Note, but Hell yes i will come back to Note 2 if it has Exynos 5250!
but for now i am selling my note. is this price ok for my 2 months note? pls guys do reply me soon and sincerely! i m really tensed!
thank u all in advance!
If you managed to get $450 then it will be good deal.
But if I were you then I should newer sell my 2 months old note.
.
I bought my Note brand new for $620 on eBay. Seems like to me, $410 is too low especially if it still looks brand new and you have never rooted or anything.

Satisfied with the note.......small hick-ups........ Sell because of them???
Ok, if i'm satisfied with something i don't want to sell it, about the small hick-ups we have to consider that these problems appeared with ICS they will be sorted out.
If you think the S3 is without problems (or hick-ups) think again, there aren't devices without flaws or problems. Take a look at htc's they have a lot of problems and people send them to be repaired and htc is releasing updates to solve the software problems. Samsung isn't that fast but i think there will be a major update sooner or later for the note's problems.
Ok, you want to sell, take up the offer from the store and buy a S3. Better deal you can't get.
And if you are talking about eMMc bug as the "small hiccups" just go to a safe kernel that our wonderful developers have made.

1- i really dont know how to draw and i dont use S-pen!
2- The Note after ICS feels even more Slower especially in UI experience!
3- Note's price is falling like rocket and its marked resale value is even lesser!
4- the camera on Note is a bit slow.
pls some one tell me should i give my phone for $ 410???
The note is unique because of the S-pen. You just cannot do things the note can with another phone. If you don't use the pen, then the note is nothing special except for the large screen imho.

Don't be so dam impulsive. List your phone on Ebay or Amazon as mint condition. You can get 500 to 575 easy.

Who cares if the price drops? I plan on keeping the Note a while. I have a bad habit of buying phones a lot and I spend way too much money. I had an Atrix and it's still considered somewhat new and still good and I bought a Note.
You have to remember there is always going to be something better. Technology is rapidly expanding. Go again, buy a s3. But, realize this, more than likely, you WILL lose money. Its just part of the business.
If you don't like ICS, go back to Gingerbread. Or go to a CM9 ROM. I have no problem with the Camera on the Note. I use stock Camera on CM9 and Camera Zoom FX and it's fine.

No, not AOSP. I'm talking about CM9. Look at Asylum or ParanoidAndroid.

well, i just wanted to know what is the selling price of used Note in your country? i bought my 16Gb White Note on 24th March 2012 for US $605 or UK 392 Pounds, or Euros 456.
now this store here is ready take my Note for $ 410 or UK 266 Pounds or Euros 309.
what do u say is this price ok for my 2 months used Note? i know this is not a fair deal to sell Note, but Hell yes i will come back to Note 2 if it has Exynos 5250!
but for now i am selling my note. is this price ok for my 2 months note? pls guys do reply me soon and sincerely! i m really tensed!

let me just say this ,samsung really screwed up the software side of things on the note ,if you want to compare then go and check an S2 ,you'll find it's also a lot faster than the note.
when I first got my note I hated it for this reason (previous S2 owner) ,then CM9 arrived ,oh boy was I in for a shock !! the phone seems to have gotten a hardware boost with it installed.
you don't care about the spen and even if you do ,you can find alternatives in the market like (free note) ,just install CM9 and feel the difference yourself ,all these small hiccups will be gone for good.
just make sure you read the instructions carefully and roll back to GB first via PC ODIN ,or else you could brick your shiny new phone.
also ,yes 420$ is **** low for a new phone , you remind me of the (sorry but has to be said for your own good) idiot who sold me his note for a similar price .
just read the instructions carefully and roll back to GB via pc odin then install cm9 ,and thank me later for saving you 400$ .

again ,install cm9 and you'll be wondering if it's the same phone in your hands.
I'd avoid ebay, they'll rob the life out of you.
im sure they take about 10-15% of the final fee, so if your planning on getting 400-500 or whatever it is for your note, ebay will suck a load of that from you.
if you going to sell it, do it privately, or just be smart and not sell it at all.

i dont want to sell my Note but i would lose a lot if i keep it now. its price is dropping. i cant afford that. i am not sure yet to sell it. but i will decide that tomorrow. i wish i am get millions of $ by tonight by some miracle! so that i can keep my note and s3 as well!

What kind of accountancy student are you? Have you never heard of incremental costs?
What will it cost you to change to an S3 v keeping the GNote?
Now what benefit will it bring? Is that worth it? Do a quick CBA. If you are as poor as you say you are, well, buying the S3 won't fix it, will it?
Lastly, buying most any smartphone is an object lesson in DEPRECIATION. If you don't want to suffer it, do not buy any FMCG item.

Exactly. Like I mentioned earlier, you WILL lose money on it if you buy a S3 and sell your Note. It's just fact of life. Just keep the freaking Note and save your money! Go buy something nice for your girlfriend, wife, whatever!
I am thinking of a buying a Galaxy Tab 10.1. The asking price is $300 obo so it is negotiable. Is this a good decision or not?
I am rather uninformed about the current tablet scene so any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
No. Google has just announced the Nexus 10 which is $399 for the 16GB version. The seller is likely trying to sell now so they can trade up before people jump on the current round of new devices and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is worth even less.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 is outdated already and Samsung will not be providing anymore software updates for it. (Although I'm sure there will be people saying that it's not 100% certain and their web petitions may cause Samsung to miraculously change their minds and spend more money on getting Android 4.1 released to this device)

Another nexus 10 recommendation, unless its too expensive (I'd recommend waiting and saving up for the difference if money is an issue) or if you must have mobile data on your tablet (if you can tether from your phone this isn't an issue, or if you will always have an available wifi connection).
No way...go for the Nexus 10.

The tab 10.1 will likely not be getting official jelly bean + The screen is not as good as other offerings right now. I think the nexus 10 with its much better screen, and straight from google updates is a much better device for $100 more. Also, where do you live? Used 16 gb tab 10.1s can be had for under $250 off Kijiji in most Canadian cities, and I'd bet it's similar in the states.
Asking $300? Ask him/her if u can punch them in the mouth for offering it @ such a silly price! For that, you might as well spend a few more bucks and buy it retail so you get a warranty with it. On eBay, most working 1st gen S.G 10.1 tabs average between $200-250, depending on the condition and what comes with it. Or you can do what I did and buy a broken one and repair it yourself.
I bought one with a broken screen on eBay for $99 + s/h. Ordered a new LCD for $55 and digitizer for $22 which totals about $175 that I spent on the tab.. which beats buying a working one for more than what it's worth. The 1st generation tab is still a good pick, better than the 2nd gen some say, as long as you're rooted w/ a custom rom and o/c capable kernel installed.
So, if you really want a 1st gen. galaxy tab 10.1, I'd say offer him $200. Otherwise, try eBay or hold out for something better, like mentioned above.

You would have to troubleshoot on your laptop as well. Like reinstalling drivers and such if you didn't attempt that.
Back when it was released it was a good tablet. But with very bad support from Samsung, it lost it's grip.

Im sure that the issue is not related to my laptop since i have tried 3 laptops with no luck.
The drivers re-installed more than 10 times. Moreover the other Samsung devices recognized by same laptop properly !
im going to send it to service center
NOT !!!
To make a long story short, The Tab Pro 8.4 is better than the Tab S 8.4
I made a switch to the Tab S because of the 3gb memory... well the thing lags a little compared to my previous Tab Pro.
I wanted Knox - the Tab S didn't have the container preinstalled and the Knox apk posted here in the forum does not work. And I can't find it on the Samung appstore either - yes I am not going to root this device.
Less bloatware - yes the Tab S has more bloatware and they can't be "stopped" like Evernote etc.
Better screen - as with my other Samsung Super Amoled devices, the screen looks pinkish and the bottom half is darker than the top half... This is a problem with the S4, Note 2, Note 3 which I had before (I must be the luckiest guy in the gadgetworld), and it really is annoying me especially at night when the screen is the only thing emitting light in my room which makes it very obvious.
Welcome home, tab pro !!!

Completely agree.
More and more I'm glad I was able to snag a mint 10.1 pro off CL for $300 just last week.
I'm sure in about 1 month though they'll be down to $250 or less. Oh well. Now to just debloat this whale. Come on CM11, we know you wanna tackle the octomom, er I mean cpu, challenge!!!
I'm on the dilemma of.... should I go with the Pro or the S....

If you ever hope to do anything development related (like flash a custom ROM), avoid the S like the plague and get the Pro. "Custom ROM" and "Exynos chipset" don't belong in the same sentence anymore. The Pro 8.4 has a Qualcomm SnapDragon 800 and a bunch of custom ROMs already.

As long as it's "manufacturer" refurbished, you are good. I've purchased a few tablets/phones that were manufacturer refurbished, and all have been flawless and appeared brand new. They usually come with a limited warranty also (90 days) so that makes it a bit better. 3rd party refurbs can vary greatly in condition/quality.
I just picked up a manufacturer refurb tab pro 8.4 and it arrived yesterday. Came in a white samsung box, and again, it's physically flawless (not a single mark on the screen or back), and works great. I always root/unlock my android devices, so the factory warranty only lasts so long with me, which is why I buy used/refurbs a lot.

Yeah that's is basically what I always do when I get a new Android device, root that baby... now a found a used in mint conditions pro 8.4 but is running cm11.
Before I pull the plug want to know how easy is to Odin back to stock? I ask this because on my search for a stock rom I end up in some treads that said that they are stuck on a loop after trying to Odin back to stock.
Also I can't find a stock rom (odin) on this forum... can someone link the right tread if there is please.?
Thanks in advance.

Never had a problem when I used Odin to revert back to stock rom on my Pro 8.4, but the knox was still 0x1, but luckily no one checked when I returned mine, though it had a hardware fault so I returned it.

I went with the pro. The deal I got at the time made it a total no brainer. 250$ price from Best Buy plus a 50$ best buy gift card. Also got two 25$ Google Play codes. Basically got a brand new tab pro 8.4 for a whopping 150$....no way the Tab S is worth 400$.

The week before the tab S came out in retail, Best Buy slashed the price in stores to 249.99$, and for a couple of days, if you ordered it online you got a 50$ gift card sent to you too. It was a crazy deal.

Oh okay... I did some searching and found some deals related to this but already expired. boo hoo.
Not sure what I'm going to do if I'm going to just order another refurb or what. I originally got the GTP because it had infrared but it appears to be kinda proprietary and I'm not a fan of the application. I'll have to do some additional research to see if there are other customizable applications for total home theater control (including HTPC) to see if this model is even going to accomplish what I was hoping for. But getting it NEW for $250 would surely seal the deal for me!
For 8.4 model, Tab Pro is much better because 800 processor is better than Exynos.
For 10 model, they're draw.
AMOLED on Tab S looks better (less red tint) than 8.4, but keep in mind that Tab Pro does not have screen burn problem.
However, there's a minor feature on Tab S a lot of users overlooked: charging port. You can put the unit in landscape and charge.
