2 Questions on AT&T Tab.

Although I like the flexibility of the plans on the AT&T Tab, I have 2 nagging issues.

#1. Anyone been able to register theirs? Samsung.com/register does not recognize my IMEI as a valid IMEI number and will not let me register.

#2. Side loading apps. I have the wonder side loading machine or whatever it is called, but I guess I cannot fund the correct USB drivers since the device is never recognized.

AT&T blocking non-market apps on the Tab is a little frustrating.

Thanks.
 
OK, back to the registration.

Product Group: Mobile
Category: Galaxy Tab

The sub category, etc are blocked but when I enter my IMEI it says I must enter a sub category, but I cannot since it is blocked.

Is there something special to get the IMEI to take? I am taking mine directly from the settings, about, system within the galaxy tab and I have tried 20+ times and it constantly says it is an invalid IMEI.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

I have been having the same problem, I emailed site support about it and this is what they said:
