I've also been holding off from buying a tablet for a while. Was trying to grab a bargain touchpad but somehow i missed them all. Sold out and I'm not paying ridiculous over priced charges some people charging now on the bulk loads they bought.
Anyway, I'm thinking of the Galaxy Tab 7.7 from all that I've seen. Perfect size and specs are mind blowing. 7.7 inches of Super AMOLED! Can't go wrong there.

7.7 maybe too small... someone suggested transformer 2, good spec. But I prefer tab 3. Tab has better screen and camera than asus.

Thoughts on choice of phone

So I have the s3 and I love it. I also have the opportunity to get the note 2 for $100 but would have to give up my s3 for it. I'm thinking of getting the note 2 until the s4 comes out, then selling the note 2 and buying the s4. Any thoughts from the great xda family?

If you're fine with the giant screen, go for it. The Note 2 is better in every other way. Also, it will have the higher value when selling it. Even though I love my S3 and couldn't deal with that giant screen, I say do it.

Do the swap then sell the note 2, buy the LG Nexus 4

If the note 2 works fine, I would trade for it, give it a try, and see if I like it. If you don't like it, you can definitely sell it for way more than your s3 and make a profit, then get another s3. Or just keep it til the s4 comes out, either way you'll get more money than your s3 for sure.

I'm not crazy about the note 2 just because its so big, but I like the idea of making some money on it and getting the s4 when its out.
What's particularly special about the nexus 4 and would it be better then the s4?

Good buy? Need quick answer.

I was offered a like new Galaxy tab 2 10.1 for 250. Is that worth it? Will a new one be coming out? If I get them to do 200 should I buy?
Thanks for the help

I bought my used Sprint Galaxy Tab 7 (white) for $200 in MINT condition. Asking price was $280. Doesn't hurt to say I have cash on me and can meet you in 30 minutes inside a Starbucks.

Ok thanks for the help so is 250 high? Will there be another tab coming soon? One more question. What do you guys think of this tablet? Is it smooth enough? Is cm10 or aokp the best room? I dont really care about touchwiz

No its a low price. The tablet is awesome. The 'best' ROM can only be determined by you.

I'll bump this a little bit. I just ordered Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for 200 euros (they are normally like 350-400 euros here in Finland), and now I'm facing a dilemma.
I already own Xperia Tablet S, and ordered the Tab for my parents. But what do you think, should I keep the Tab for myself and give the Xperia Tablet S to my parents? Both are excellent devices, but Tab 2 is only a dual core. But there are 100x more custom roms for Tab 2 than Tablet S. There's pretty much zero roms for Sony.
CyanogenMod and other thingys gets me interested on Tab 2, but the "low specs" on Tab 2 gets me leaning towards Sony.
What would you do?

Apple's and oranges...but
I have a kindle fire hd 7" with no roms but fair specs....
And a tab 2 7" with cm10.1 with mediocre specs...
I use the tab 2 almost exclusively...

why not buy NEXUS 7? it's awesome.

Maybe because it costs more, and is smaller. 3 inches is quite a lot.
EDIT: In MY case (where I got the Tab 2 for 200€) it's cheaper.

Sorry to hijack this thread.. I am looking to buy this tablet(wifi 10.1). Actually i was confused between this and nexus 7. But the display size won over nexus 7. And am new to tablets as well. Will this tab survive another 5 years of time ? Does this tab support usb host and hdmi or mhl? How's the battery backup time(wifi on 24x7)?

just bought mine today for $180 at walmart but it's going back tomorrow. the thing lags way too much for me. guess ill either buy a nexus 7 or wait.

Got the nexus 7 today and its like night and day. The only minuses are no expandable storage or rear camera. I liked the design of the tab 2 but the lag killed it for me. Maybe ill try out the galaxy tab 8 when it hits.

[Q] Using Samsung Galaxy S3 as a tablet only?

I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII and I am now on AT&T. I was going to sell the phone, but just thought I would use it as a tablet. Should it work well as a tablet only just running on wi-fi? It's perfect tablet size imo...

Either use it as a tablet or sell it and get the tab 2 or something cheaper but still good, i say its not bad to use as a tablet but I think at least a 7inch will be alot better but my s3 is a lot faster than my tab2 but its all up to you

Thanks for the info, so far I haven't found anything that doesn't work while using it as a tablet only.

Upgrade from GT-P7510?

Just wondering if it's worth the upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P7150 to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3?
It's going to be a gift so no cost to me, but my 7150 is still running everything I want and need just. So I can't decide if I should ask for something different in the same price range.
Thanks for any opinions :good:

Well I didn't wait for opinions and went ahead and got the GT-P5210.
I'm pretty happy so far.
