Need your opinion Again

Hello,
I thought posting it here would offer non biased opinions by people, since I'm going be asking that I'm trying to decide between galaxy tab or DHD or nexus s. I'm having a hard time deciding, i love htc devices but sammy's tab and nexus s seem very good also. So, I'm looking for your opinion on this, I know the specs of each device.

Wait either a tablet or a phone? Are you planning on using the tablet as a phone or would you have a regular one for use?
Also, I would say to wait because of all of the new phones just announced at CES and with MWC right around the corner, amazing things are going to be happening very, very soon.
But to answer your question now, what are you going to mostly use it for? Are you planning on hacking or... ?

Hi,
Google Nexus uses Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS but Samsung and DHD are using older version. The processor speed of Desire HD is much better. DHD has 8MP camera and other are using 5MP. Comparatively, I recommend DHD tablet.

So, I end up getting the sammy tab. The 7inch screen would be awesome to watch stuff on and it owns the ifail(ipad) in all ways.

Well im glad you like it, but FWIW, the ipad os the best tablet out right now.
It isn't just selling because it was made by apple; I have one myself and I love it to death for what it does.

Nook Color vs G-Tab?

Which is better the nook color or gtab? I'm contemplating between these two tablets to get. Please post here which android tablet I should get and why. Thanks.

Go with the G-Tablet. While the nook is awesome, it's honestly sub par as a tablet. I know first hand. My main gripes, lost wi-fi all the time, no bluetooth, no gps.
I think the price bump is worth all of that on the g-tab.

Thanks.
Well bump!

G-Tab
Better specs, it has the ability to run honeycomb (not sure if it comes with it but I'm sure there are ROMs) and overall worth it.
Nook Color is a good tablet if you can't afford anything else but if you can afford to get the G-Tab, get it.
http://www.viewsonic.com/gtablet/spec.htm
Assuming, this is the G-Tab

I would get a GTAB simply because of the Mods. There are so many owners with a GTAB now due to the price difference compared to the other similar alternative tablets that the XDA community forum for GTAB has a large amount of knoweledge based information that you can take advantage of. GTAB can be modified in so many different ways. I can't speak for Nook cause I don't own one but I own a GTAB and I was able to wipe out the stock Froyo ROM and flashed a Custom Cyanaogen ROM based on Gingerbread 2.3 which also roots the tab. It runs Adobe Flash. I did an Android Market Hack to be able to download from Marketplace. I did a Netflix Hack to be able to stream directly from my GTAB even though Netflix currently doesn't support this Tablet.
I've read also that you can use the blutooth for add-on keyboard, mouse, gamepad, and GPS. It also has an HDMI dock that you purchase separetly which will allow you to connect to a TV and has front facing camera but only 1.5 Mp with built in mic and wifi is very good that can connect 802.11 B/G/N.

I like my GTab a lot...my only complaint is that I don't really need a 10" tablet (which I didn't realize until I already purchased it...but oh well).

Consider getting the Galaxy Tab P1000. Good wifi, GPS, 3g, telephony, decent GPU (SGX540), cpu is very moddable (people have been doing undervolting by 200mV and while overclocking to 1.4). You can undervolt the display, huge battery life, etc. etc. etc.
I'm mentioning this because I'm thinking you'd be interested in a tablet of this size if you are interested in nook color.

Got the nook color because they gave me a great deal. Brand new nook color + case and I got to save a lot of money also. I rooted it and flashed phiremod since I have it on my vibrant and tried it on the hd2.

i would of said the new viewsonic tablet that will come out at the end of the month same price and better specs i guess look it up its worth it to atleast look it up.
the nook is a great choice though i hope your happy with it!

The NC is totally worth it. Best viewing angles as well, was gonna write a long paragraph but you already made your choice.

buying Tablets

Can someone suggest a good tablet for gaming so far the transformer is something that caught my eye. seemed good I have to spend 800 on a tab tom for work so I need one that will have a strong proccessor cause its gonna get ran hard with games. Best buy was no help they didnt know the tablets were duel core or anything about tegra please help cause I don't want to regret my purchase cause of lack of knowledge about the tablets . I looked online but that don't really help, cause most of them got the same specs but im pretty sure theres a difference experience with them all.

Never bought one but I'd say if you want games wait for quad core tablets . Dual core ones are nice but tegra 3 will be beast

I am actually looking for a tablet too, kinda a birthday present for my mom - i would like it to be able to run honeycomb on it just coz i think the handling is more intuitive - and of course if it would cost like 2$ that would be great (just kidding) but actually a cheap one would do it - the one i have my eyes on now is the adam but does anyone have any advise on that?

@Zeze I would recommend getting a 7in tablet for a parent. My mom and dad both have 7in tablets and find them to be the perfect size. They currently have a galaxy tab (original) and a rooted cm7 nook.
I haven't looked into tabs much in the last few months, but based on a quick look through I would say the iconia 8gb 7in model would be a good choice, then just add the micro sd card of your choice.
Plus I think its the cheapest honeycomb tablet out there (usually around 300-330$)
I would strongly advise against the Adam. In my experience the build quality is kinda lacking. Choice is yours tho. If you didn't want the 7in iconia, they do have a 10in for 350$. I'm biased towards the xoom since I own one. But if you're looking for something cheap the iconia is definitely the way to go. I don't know what your parents use would be for a tablet, but if its moostly reading and browsing have you considered the new kindle fire?

@bonebeatz
I'd recommend waiting if you're gonna be playing games. If you do need it RIGHT NOW. Then you can't really go wrong with anything made by Samsung, Motorola, Asus, or Acer. Personally I would stay with Samsung or Motorola, but that's device ownership bias. In the end they all basically have the same specs, just different aesthetics. If you had a few in mind we could go over their independent differences if you would like?

What Tablet is the best wright now.

Hi everybody,
what Android Tablet is the best wright now out there.
Thank's for helping
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

10" mini netbook android 2.2 laptop
i use this one

iPad 2 off course, the price does not depreciate that quick compare to android devices, example the transformer for almost $600 to $350 in less than 6 months, look at iPad 2 still the same price since lauched,

iPad is in my opinion the best tablet at the moment. Honeycomb is just not good ( waiting for ics)
In my household we have a touchpad and a nook color, I've had a samsung galaxy tab, but I returned it.
Here is my take on the current android tablets. if you want the best of the best go with the galaxy tab, but at this moment I would go with the HP touchpad, Installing android on it is very easy, and it will get a ics port as soon as the source code comes out.

I have to agree.
I'm a hardcore Android fan, but until ICS comes out, Honeycomb is a poor excuse and it's like having an oversized phone rather than an actual tool. I hate Apple products, but in the tablet market, as of now, the iPad is very, very good.
But if you need Android, and like a 10in screen, my personal opinion is the Asus Transformer. It's so slim and sexy. They all have the same stats, really, so I mean...yeah. A 7incher would be the Iconia or the Flyer, though Iconia is stronger, Flyer is just...well, slim and sexy. XD
So YEAH. Drop the monies on iPad and sell later when ICS comes you -- you won't lose more than 100 bucks. Heh heh

Well right now android tablets cannot compare to iOS app wise. And that is usually what rakes in the interest. So, I suggest an iPad 2 despite your android desire. If however you can wait for devs to develop more apps for ICS tabs, then by all means go ahead.

So maybe better to wait for ICS?

When you learn to spell right properly then we can talk.
Joking of course. In my opinion the transformer is tips at the moment due top price and what you get for your money.

If you're comfortable with Android, wait for ICS. If not, there's no other reason why you shouldn't go for iPad2.

What Tablet you are using?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Large tablets are a waste of money for most people because they are too big to be used as a phone, camera, satnav etc. and are not able to replace a laptop. They are a niche product for gamers or those with poor eyesight.

I need one for
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

i need one for everyday use.Not to big and not so expensive.

What Tabs you all are using?

Do you guys not see him saying 'android tablet' at start?
Honeycomb is a good tablet OS. Ics is not much of an upgrade tablet wise if you look at it. Same widgets same multitasking so waiting for ICS wudnt be much use.
Apple products he become OS dependant, means they are nothing much without the OS, but on android you can change many aspects through custom roms. Heck even the touchpad running webOS got the Android experience.
I would recommend Advent Vega tab 10''
tegra 2 processor under £200
If your looking some smaller then definitely Galaxy tab.
the vega tab has froyo 2.2 as stock rom but there are plenty honeycomb roms out for it, plus its got a usb port so if you anticipate ics on this u cuc get away with full controller support for gaming or other peripherals.

This is a loaded question for those who haven't had all the devices...... but tablets I would say galaxy tab 2. The remote control feature alone was a huge plus to have everything connected. I never tried ASUS tabs yet so unknown. Motos tabs are a disappointment!
VERIZON ONLY - As far as phones go... I have tested all phones out for verizon at least a month each. The best right now is moto razr maxx by a long shot. Several reasons why galaxy nexus didn't get the top slot.... the radios were terrible (4g lte for example) and battery life was terrible! HTC is falling behind and any others are further behind. -Vader

If you want to have the latest software and great dev support, and don't mind smallish storage/no tv out, the nexus 7 is the way to go.

Mmm the best tablet? That's easy: The lightest one available (which offers good perfomance)
We all know this, but take a moment to analyze it coldly: ¿how is a tablet different from a notebook / netbook? The major differences are:
- The screen is a touch screen, unlike most notebooks
- The weight: should be about half of an average netbook.
- The way you can hold it, just like a book.
- What you can usually do with it...
I have seen many people use tablets in the same way they use a notebook. They put it on a surface, like a table, and then use it there. Even worse, attach it a keyboard, and you have a very expensive netbook, with far less capabilities! We all know that, no matter how much we love android, a tablet, unlike a computer, is more oriented to content-consumption, instead of content-creation (no matter what Steve Jobs said at the launch of iPad 2). It doesn't meen you cann't create anything with a tablet, but the posibilities are, by far, more limited than a with a PC. You cannnot install Eclipse, PhotoShop, Visual Basic, or Fireworks in a tablet (experiments aside).
Let's be honest. Tablets are, primarily, gadgets designed for FUN. They are awesome. Internet browsing, video viewing is amazing. You hold it like a book, you lie down on the bed with the tablet above you, you use it and hold it in a much more intimate way. When you put it over a table because it is too heavy, all that magic is lost.
That said, choose always the lightest one, which still offers good perfomance (1 GHZ Dual Core should be enough). Seriously, the weight!!!! Even 650 g (1,4 pounds) is too heavy after a long while if you lie down on your back, with a tablet above you, BELIEVE me!
Ah, the 10" is the must-have size. The ideal replacement for a book / paper notebook. In my opinion, 7" is just too small for a semi-useless gadget targeted for entertainment (unless you plan to give it to a child). In fact, I plan to buy a 7" tablet just for my little daughter (2 years old), so my Galaxy Note can be mine again

Transformer tf700 and galaxy s3 probably most powerful phone and tablet right now

The question was best phone and tablet. Not fastest or thinnest. Like I said before if you pick one over many what are you basing it on? I have used all verizon cellphones out and tested very thouroughly...... how can someone pick Nexus 7 when he or she never laid hands on it. These devices are hw/sw..... so all interact differently. I base my findings on facts...... not just assumptions.
