Hi, I have 16g wifi version and find it plenty. I watch films regularly on it. Plenty of app space. Lots of books. I'm happy to delete films as and when I have watched them.I have about 10 on it at any one time. Can only watch one st a time.lol. I don't really use it for music so I suppose quite a bit of space saved there.

Tethering no issue at all.just have a quick widget control to turn on and of and then tablet will just pick up wireless connection.

Case is a must for me.

I have the keyboard which I use regularly when doing work.Mt lap to hasn't been switched on since I got the tab a month ago.

I plan to get the USB connector but don't see it as essential. I find using kies easy enough.

Charger has to be Samsung. Not standard USB.

 

If you are with Verizon Wireless, you can only get the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 4G. There is no 3G version.

I don't like tethering because it drains the battery of your smart phone. And also carriers are cracking down on people that tether and raise your monthly fee automatically. That's why I bought the 4G version instead.

The price between 16 and 32GB is not that much different. So I went for 32 GB because you never know.

In addition, I suggest to get the white one. It is so much prettier than the metalic. I also suggest you to buy the Samsung book case which is much better than the Belkin case.

I don't use the Tab to watch TV because, in my humble opinion, is really pointless. But it is just me. So I can't answer that question on video out cable. As of USB, I am using the one that comes with the charger to connect to my laptop and it works perfectly fine.

Hope this helps. You will love your Tab.

 

Szadzik, as of this moment, I have no need for any physical keyboard. I typed my messages to this forum using the Tab and it works fine.

But if you decide to get a keyboard, the white one looks gorgeous.

Good luck on your shopping.

 

Do you stream movies/music? If you do streaming for media, then yeah, I'd say 16gb is plenty. By the sounds of it, you'd prefer the ease in connect ability of the 3G, so that's probably what you should do. I would def get a case on it if you're gonna carry it or travel with it... HDTV out and an extra charger would be good based on the sounds of it. The GT10.1 uses Samsungs 30 pin connector so its not like any phone charger will work.

I personally just have the wifi model, but that's because everywhere I go has wifi and its all I need.

 

For whatever it's worth HSPA+ has a theoretical max of 42mbps, and Verizon's LTE is currently running at like 25/10mbps.

I'd say they are both kinda 3.5G give or take 0.25 Gs!

 

Hmmm, I don't know. It seems like it might, but I have never personally tried it. I have a sleeve that I put mine in for carrying and it works out pretty well, so you should be fine there.

 

I have one, let me try it right now...^

 

Didnt work with my 5V : 1A (1000mA) htc usb -> power adapter

 

I tried the wall adapter that came with my Samsung Epic 4G and the cable that came with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it did not work.

 

Yeah I didnt see an amperage on the sticker for my htc adapter else I would have added that bit

Edit: I double checked the HTC was 1A (1000mA)

I also tried an old Motorola USB->charger with 5.1V 850mA


And actually I just looked at the Samsung that came with my 10.1 and it says 5V, 2A (2000mA, so much more powerful flowing there indeed)

 

Sounds like a great package, you should enjoy that

 

I made the mistake of going away with my HTC Desire charger and plugging the Samsung USB lead into it. I thought there was something wrong with my Tab until I read your comments here. Thanks. Rob.

 

I just got my usb host adapter today, so i will try and remember to give this a go tonight.

 

haha dont thank me just yet, i forgot to try, but i have both in front of me now, let me see what happens.

I know that my N1 can act as a WiFi tether AP, let me see what happens with the usb.

 

derp sorry my SGT needs some charging, will post back
