Wossnext Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) I have been playing around with my mates Samsung Galaxy Tab for a month now and I love it! I have read all the reviews out there and know just about everything there is to know about this model. The size is perfect, I actually do not want a 10" tablet, the Tab is sweet and the screen is stunning on it, it is everything I want in a gadget and I am ready to buy one. I have watched it go from 22,900 to 18,900 and now with the new Tab 2 coming out in March I feel confident it will hit 15,900 soon, when it does I will pounce on it. I have noticed all the stores going advertising crazy trying desperately to get them sold at 18,900 before the new Tab hits the stores. If like me you are interested in getting one just wait a little while. Oh yeh, if you already know of a place to get this model (here in Bangkok) at a knockdown price, please share with me.

SunDaRi Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'm getting it this weekend, i think the cheapest is at MBK or any of the local stores (those that don't list the fees).. walk around a-bit you should find it at 17,900baht (sometimes 17,500baht).

maxman71 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I just checked one out here in Singapore. They are pretty cool. Main attractor for me is I can modify/create MS Office files. They want about USD 750 here for, about the same as the ones going for THB 22,000+ in BKK. I'll need to get a "Man Purse" to lug it around though.

As for putting it next to your ear, come on! what kind of dipstick would do that. The phone function is designed to be used with a bluetooth headset or a normal set of earphones with mic (included). Yeh you are right it is more expensive than a cheap netbook but if it comes down to a decent price I think it would be well worth having. I just want it for surfing the net, watching movies viewing and editing docs, reading books and playing some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddave Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if the predicted "Boom" in Android tablet sales, such as the much anticipated Motorola ZOOM, kind of fizzles out. It looks like production costs are turning out to be significantly higher than anticipated as the Zoom is hitting the market at US$800+. To make any significant inroads on I-Pad's domination of the market, other manufacturers are going to have to undercut it's price and it's looking like that might not happen.

RED21 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Wife gave me one as a late birthday present. Any news on the official gingerbread update scheduled for this month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 In general it would help if everyone was very specific about the exact model they are looking for. In addition to screen size there is also the 3G option, and memory. http://www.thaimobilecenter.com/catalog/Samsung.asp It seems like the OP is looking for a Samsung Galaxy Tab P1000T? http://www.thaimobilecenter.com/spec/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_P1000T.asp If so, pricing is 13,900 - 14,900.

Goattee Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Wife gave me one as a late birthday present. Any news on the official gingerbread update scheduled for this month? Good news!

There's a noticeable increase in performance in terms of speed and power consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxme Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Isn´t there a thai version of price runner out there, would be a lot smoother than asking around all the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
