the galaxy tab doesn't need a mifi device because mobile hotspot is a built in feature of Froyo, so thats really a win for the galaxy not the iPad

 

[islasian]

"512 GB" of RAM!?! has to be a typo... lol..

 

[ace5423]

Still $599.99 for something that only does the same thing as my phone. Fail.

 

[miloo]

sorry i prefer the blackberry playbook now ~

At the price, the RAM itself makes it worth its weight in gold! 512 GB is some pretty serious business for a tablet. Finally, a tablet that can do what a server can do

 

[dEAne]

Will see about that.

 

[lashton]

$599 for 512GB of RAM thats pretty cheap really that almost $1 per GB

 

[intelx]

im just gonna buy it and sell its RAM lol

 

[The Greater Good]

The 512 GB RAM comes in handy when you want to load the entire Android OS plus your music and vids into memory. HAH!!! Apple can't do that!

 

[joytech22]

How much is this thing off-contract? i want one with NO strings tied, that way i can stick in my own sim like when i got my i-mate (which is now out of business).

no more spare parts for me..

 

[sudeshc]

I too want this to be with no contract, more flexibility.

Shame Verizon is not supporting voice on the American version of the Galaxy Tab, unlike the European version; big FAIL in my opinion.

I would buy this IF...
Samsung didn't create such a fiasco out of every single one of their Galaxy S phones. I have the Samsung Vibrant... and their support is ATROCIOUS. The gps has never worked correctly, they are EXTREMELY slow to release updates (and then the updates don't work or make the phone WORSE). I cannot fathom buying another one of their devices. Oh, and when you do call for support, you are talking to someone in INDIA, who is of no help and does not even understand the most basic of tech concepts regarding their products. These amoled products are gorgeous and awesome when the work correctly, but unfortunately they all have serious issues that

 

[cknobman]

Anyone surprised?

Not me, Verzion overcharges for everything.

Give me $399 - $499 unsubsidized no contract wifi version or Ill pass.

With offering a 4.3 phone Verizon is already cutting into its own market. I own a 4.3 phone and its big enough and fast enough that I honestly have no need for another mobile carrier contracted android device but I would love something for the house on wifi (couch and toilet surfing).

$600 bucks for a loaded-down-with-Verizon's-crap tablet?

Thanks, but I'll pass in favor of the iPad 2, when it arrives (because this tablet has a comparable feature set to what Apple should have sometime next year.)

I don't want to pay extra for features on a phone I already own, especially one this expensive- like the GPS, which I'm guessing will cost an extra 10 bucks per month to use.

512GB of RAM! Welcome to the new concept of Tablet Server!
With that much RAM I'd buy it, but, just don't let it run out of battery or you'd lose everything you put in it...

Well, haven't you read of all the limitations american cellphone providers gives in comparison to the european ones? That's no news...
and yeah, big FAIL!

You would actually consider owning a iOS or android device without jailbreaking/rooting? I think that's insane. First thing you should do when you get home is root it, update the os with a standard version, and add some nice apps for things like wireless hotspot and skype... Remember, in the US the law is on your side here.

Priced way out of range to compete with the iPad, but I applaud Verizon for trying.
