    wow

    • Kundagoo on 18/04/2011 - 22:35

      $299 is a fair price for the unit and sort of makes buying a stand alone GPS a complete waste of time. The device is pretty snappy but I hope Honeycomb will be released for it soon. Web browsing and resizing windows is not as smooth as Ipad and other smartphones. The biggest disappointment I have with the device is the viewing angles. Anything off centre immediately loses colour vibrancy and contrast and a person sitting next to you would would really struggle to view the details on the screen. After using an Ipad, HTC Desire or Galaxy S this standard TFT screen (despite reasonable pixel density) results in a very average viewing experience for off centre viewing (ironically not so good if you are sharing it in the car for navigation)

      I have bought one as a gift.

          well… telstra has the advantage that this is on the next G network as well though…

          and to clear stock and compete with optus for market share… i reckon it's probably worth it

    Hey, welcome to OzBargain Telstra! Good to see you guys on here.

    Back on topic, these are good for anyone after a cheap tablet however it might be worth holding out until Honeycomb is released. This version of Android wasn't designed for tablets.

    • ozdavo on 15/04/2011 - 15:52

      Unofficial port coming… http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/04/05/galaxy-tab-7-inch-ge…

        Awesome. Might consider one when its confirmed the port is stable.

      • ShortyX on 15/04/2011 - 15:57

        Thanks for that ozdavo…it wouldn't be as grunty as a Xoom for example but hopefully they get it to a stable state that performs well so the Tab owners don't miss out.

      • yeahnah-nahyeah on 15/04/2011 - 17:31

        bear in mind that the honeycomb AOSP has not come out yet. . in fact google released a media statement to the effect that they dont plan on releasing it yet (no ETA given). .http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/24/google-keeping-honeycomb-source-code-on-ice-says-its-not-ready/

        As someone on a rooted nook color, this has been a huge blow as no port based on an SDK will ever be as good as one based off AOSP.

        Of course, this is just speculation, but people suspect google is holding it back precisely because people have been so adept and keen to port it to cheaper devices thus hurting sales of other 'official' HC tablets that are hitting the market

      this would be 850/1900/2100

        Meaning it's fine for metro use (2100mhz) on Vodafone and Optus… in the sticks you'll be stuck with GPRS.

    so, if i put my optus, i will get 3G coverage on big cities but only gprs on the bush ?
    how about galaxy tab at other shop, can i get the version who support 3G on optus or voda everywhere with the same price? (how about at harvey norman?)

    • quickling on 15/04/2011 - 16:18

      yes… only optus gprs in the bush.

      the galaxy tab only has 850 OR 900 as options. You can't have it all.

      May I suggest the ipad ;) ;) ;)

      Or wait for the next gen tabs.

      • CyberMurning on 15/04/2011 - 16:29

        i do have ipad2 now, but 100% will get it refunded next week - screen bleed and think its too expensive.
        but again, i have lots of pdfs and manga, and i think 7" is too small for them.
        beside, i have 1000+ ios apps+games already !

        • stumo on 15/04/2011 - 16:32

          Dude, this 7"er has the same 1024 horizontal resolution as both the iPads. Its just got 600 instead of 800 on the height (landscape view). So you ain't really gonna notice those 200 pixels for the extra what, $400+

          The point of mentioning the iPad is that it's the ONLY Tablet with 850 and 900MHz 3G support.
          Like it or not, it's a fact..
          Not sure why you;d need Quadband 3G (guess if you travel to the USA a lot)

      I highly doubt it if you've opened them. This is why every time I make an expensive purchase, I give myself a 2 week cooling off period before opening the packaging, incase I see it cheaper elsewhere.

    Good price, however in a couple of months, this device might not worth that much.
    I'd rather wait until more honeycomb devices arrive in australia before spending any amount of money.
