Hannnn no one knowss ,, what ... no one on XDA knows about this topic wt...
I'm wondering what tablets out there that you can use as a Phone, even if they are hacked or need to be shipped overseas!
I used the original Galaxy Tab (7") as a phone (T-Mobile/USA) since late October 2010, but am looking to switch to a better/faster tablet phone. The Galaxy Tab I used was hacked by a guy who enabled the 'phone' function of it (used European firmware or something?)
I purchased the new Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus assuming that can be hacked to do it, unfortunately it cannot (Would need to buy an oversees model and ship it here)...
So what tablets allow this?
--I heard the Galaxy 8.9 might
--There's the new Galaxy Note and LG Vudo (spelling?), but those are only 5", a little small then what I'm used to
I'm not looking for Wifi calling, or 3rd party app calling, or VOIP calling, I'm talking GSM Calling (making a call from a SIM Card that supports voice + data)
I tried doing a Google search but it's a little hard finding accurate results with keywords like tablet/phone/gsm calls/etc
Hoping you experts out there might direct me in the right place
Broken in the Marketplace has a new Tab 7.0 that does it right out of the box. I can't remember the model number, but it's white and for AT&T I think

What do you mean Broken in the Marketplace? I'm not sure if I read that right, are you saying there is a tablet on AT&T that is capable of this out of the box?
I went to their website and didn't see anything :\
HTC Flyer 3G, but needs to be hacked.

I don't think it's from AT&T directly, but it is 3G-band compatible with their service.
Broken's For Sale thread is here.
Hope you can work something out
Thanks for the feedback and providing that link! The HTC Flyer looks decent, wish it had better specs (Dual core)... and that link to the Broken's for Sale, unfortunately I don't have 10 posts yet, so gotta wait it out!
Also wondering the same thing. I'm looking for a tablet i can just stick my T-mob sim in and use as a phone. no extra plan or anything. I have an android plan on it already.

If you find anything let me know So far I've only seen 1 or 2 options :\ I was debating getting the Sony Tablet P and doing VOIP but I'm a little turned off by VOIP after hearing some disadantages
Found this topic after doing a Google search for the same question...what I've found over time:
-HTC Flyer 3G - can be made to work as a GSM voice/text device with some work, and works on T-Mobile 3G; drawback being that it's ~$450 (like $200 more than the Wifi version) and single-core
-Samsung Galaxy 7.0 (original) - you obviously know about this one =P
-Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 - can do GSM voice/text and 3G/4G web out of the box; drawback being the high ~$600 price (it is a quality tablet, though), 7.7" size (I'd sooner go for a plain 7", but that's just me), and only does 2G on T-Mobile
-Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 - AFAIK can do GSM voice/text on the international version; drawback being that it only does 2G on T-Mobile
-T-Mobile Springboard (Huawei Mediapad) - from what I've gathered on the Mediapad/Springboard discussion topic on XDA, flashing the ICS beta from Huawei grants it GSM voice/text capabilities, but because of the IMEI, you're limited either to data-use only or GSM voice/text-use only (I could be wrong, but I can't truly confirm one way or the other); drawback being that there's very little support for it (doesn't have it's own board on XDA)
-Dell Streak 7 - has a dialer app "hidden" in the system, but nobody has been able to find a way to use it AFAIK
And there's a few random ZTE/Huawei/etc 7" tablets that seem to support GSM voice/text, but finding info on them seems to be even more difficult than on the Mediapad/Springboard, they seem to be pretty low-spec, and AFAIK they'd only offer 2G on T-Mobile (and probably on AT&T too).
Why companies (especially in the US) are so reluctant to add GSM voice/text capability to 7" tablets, especially ones compatible with T-Mobile US 3G, is beyond me, when there's a clear desire for it since the original Galaxy Tab 7. I'd really love a nice high-end tablet that I could just easily pop in the SIM from my T-Mobile phone and easily use.
Also, while on topic - I know you're obviously looking to upgrade your Galaxy Tab 7, but how does it currently work? From what I understand, you either have the choice of GSM voice/text and 2G web or T-Mobile 3G (not both), correct?
galaxy note 10.1
the new Samsung galaxy note 10.1 has phone capabilities right...
Apparently they're not the same because I've seen the same model number for 16GB and 32GB, can anyone actually clarify the difference, because there is no documented changes that I've seen published by Samsung. It's a bit of a black spot.
Thanks!
EDIT: I think N8000 is 3G and N801X is Wi-Fi can anyone confirm this?
Confimed
Yep, N8000 is 3g & wifi, N8013/10 is wifi only.
Most of the roms available are for the N8000 so, personally, I got an N8000. Like the fact I can use the 3g as well when in an area devoid of wifi... I live in Australia, this is pretty much the norm - no wifi...

So far, no one knows... It used to be 10 vs. 13 was no IR vs. IR blaster, but both have it now...
Once someone figures out the real differences, I'll whip up an N8010 device tree for CM.

Answer straight from Samsung.....
I was wondering the same thing so I emailed Samsung Australia, this is the reply:
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
The N8000 is a 3G variant of the Galaxy Note Tab, you are able to make phone calls and browse the internet using a network provider of your choice. Please be aware that there are two major different models with the Galaxy Note Tab, there is the GT-N8000 which works on the 900 band, this means that Optus and Vodafone will work and network providers under them, and there is the GT-N8000T which works on the 850 band, this means that Telstra and the network providers under them will work.
The N8010 is a WiFi only tablet. This tablet is unable to make phone calls unlike its 3G variant.
The N8013 is an overseas model of the WiFi variant and has not been released in Australia.
I hope this has been some help to you.
If you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact Samsung Customer Care on 1300 362 603.
Thank you for contacting Samsung.

That is indeed helpful, thanks

A friend of mine got his galaxy note 10.1 from states before it was available in Canada. He has a 16 GB model and it is N8013. I got mine two months later in Canada and it is a 32GB model N8010. (haven't seen 16 GB variants yet)
I did a comparison between the two. The obvious differences are: updates are available at least a month sooner for the N8013 models before they are available for the N8010 ones, out of the box N8013 came with some apps like Kno textbooks that were not found on N8010 model out of the box, the screens on N8013 model has a much better color saturation and produces deeper colors than N8010 model, and finally the N8013 models weigh noticeably more than N8010 models which can be a result of the materials used in making the two. N8013 has a much better built quality than N8010 models.
Hope this helps.

I agree, Samsung's naming convention is so confusing. To top it off, they release so many models every year.

thats what a bluetooth headset would be for
N8013 Bluetooth Keyboard Fitment
Sorry to open up this old thread but I have a related question. I am thinking of purchasing a bluetooth keyboard case off eBay for the N8013 but the Chinese seller says it will not work with the N8013 version, only the N8000 version. The tablet snaps into a plastic form fitting case that appears to be the correct shape. The plastic part rotates so can use the tablet in either portrait or landscape mode. Could it be software related? I thought if something worked with the N8000 and/or N8010 versions it would work with the N8013. Is this an invalid assumption? I cannot think of why this wouldn't work. Anyone know why it wouldn't?
Tried to post a link but haven't had enough posts yet.
Hi All,
I am thinking of purchasing a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Amazon UK. I am looking to record both sides of a call, beep free. This is for personal use only and I am aware of the UK Laws.
My question is, two pieces of software. Total Recall 2 by killer Mobile, and Boldbeast Android Call Recorder.
They both claim that they can record both sides, loudly without the beeps. I think the phone will come with Jelly Bean.
Anyone any experience of these apps in the UK and do they work or should I think about a Nokia E71 which can record calls due to old firmware etc.
I am hoping that there will be no need to root the S4, as I have no idea how to root.
Thanks
Mik

Bump
I'm trying to figure out if an S5 bought in India would work here in the US on sprint. Family over in India sent one over and didn't consider the potential band/frequency issues. It hasn't arrived yet but I am hesitant to use it considering Samsung's region lock etc. Anyone have any experience? Can it be rooted / flashed and work ok on sprint?
I searched around on the forum seeking an answer and I didn't find anything specifically explaining yea or nay. Closest I got was :
