BIIIIIG phone: Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus

Its price is said to be $399 USD for the 16gb version.
Samsung has improved:
Its hardware is stolen from the SGS2, except for the camera, which makes only 720p vids.
"Voice Call
The GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus calling function has been upgraded to let you make and receive voice calls privately by using Receiver Mode in public places. You no longer need a headset or Bluetooth for voice calls."
The speaker phone is on the front enabling normal phone usage, Unlike the previous Tab!
Oh, yeah, and Honeycomb 3.2 . How are they making voice call possible on that, I don't know. But its Samsung, so anything is possible i Guess
Here is the homepage:
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/7.0/feature.html?type=find
It is also thinner, under 1cm thickness, and lighter than the old one.
The only downside, is its size , and possibly its screen resolution (1024x600). The dpi Should be pretty horrible, just like the Tab 7 was.
What do we Streakers think? Is this a little over the top, or just the size of your pocket?
This or the Galaxy Note?

i´m definetly in to it! Love the screensize and the new ability to make calls private. i only need my device to make just a few calls, so it will be my next device!

I don't get it. Does it make calls over cell networks? If so, who? Or just wifi? Do you hold it up to your head?
Either way, I just think that if it is too big to fit in your front pocket, you wont carry it with you all the time. Then if you want to look something up your out of luck...
I saw another manufacturer that made a 7" phone/tablet. Ill post it here when I find the link...

The Gtab 7+ was apparently always able to make calls, but until the recent update it was only able to make speakerphone calls, the update allowed it to use it's phone speaker to make normal type calls (yea it's really wierd how they managed that)
It basically conceptually an even bigger streak 5, a phone speaker in the front and a larger speaker or something (or mabye just that one at full blast) for normal sounds.
It's got a full modem with voice unlike the s7 which is data only (possibly)

Did you even open the link about the phone I had in the first post? It has all the answers to your questions!

its really about g0d damn time....I think theres is a market for it. was waiting for something like this..
the question is what US network will allow voice and data on this thing.. hmm.....

Where did you get the $399 price point? I kind of doubt about this price since they did price the S2 at $700. Hmm, but it's too big for me to be a phone anyway. Hope the Galaxy Note will be priced around $400 . Man can dream!

Nevermind, but to answer your question, yes I did click the link and read the entire add...

I think some of the people here are confused; All of the Galaxy tab 7's, including the original version have the phone radio in them. It's just all 4 major US carriers had the phone disabled, but it can be turned back on. I have had the first version almost a year now, and it is the only phone I use now.

Wifi version is up on best buy. Quad band is up for preorder on Amazon. Really hopes this comes to US with 3G. Can't afford to pay much more than $600 though. This would be a dream on honeycomb with phone integrated.

Is it easily enabled by flashing software? Compatible with At&t voice/3g? Does it take your regular phone sim? Does it fit in your pocket?
Thanks in advance, this is starting to sound like an interesting option...

yes(well not that easy for some),yes(although AT&T might say you're on the incorrect data plan; hit or miss),yes(reg. SIM), and yes(should fit in your pocket provided your about 6 foot or so, or a real heavy set fella) and I think you can find the original fairly cheap too.

How it is supposed to be carried? My Streak lives in the pocket.

The Galaxy Tab 7 cannot be considered to be use as a daily phone due to its size. Either you constantly carry a bag or you have really really big pockets to fit that in. In my opinion, the Tab 7.0 is useful only for home/indoor usage - i find it difficult to carry such a device outside. Also, if you make a call with it, OMG, this is what I would call holding a brick!!

the EXACT SAME THING can be said of 4.0" phones, then they came out
then the same can be said of 4.5" phones, but they exist
then 5.0" phones, and yet there's the streak.
7" is a bit unwieldly, but it depends on your situation, i've handled a s7 a fair bit and i wouldnt be against juggling it and my s5 as a phone if the s7 could actually make calls.
There's some times where I'd carry around a s7 regardless if I wasnt just borrowing it on and off, those times i'd keep the s5 at home and make calls on the s7 given the chance.
I cant imagine someone owning a tablet without a smartphone, there's too much synergy with having both vs just a tab and a dumbphone.
My hands are still big enough to hold a s7 with 1 hand, it's just about as wide as I can one-hand, anything larger would be because it's the same width but smaller bezels. one-hand-ability and having an actual voice modem would be my only criteria for tablet/smartphone differentation.
I always wear jeans when out, and the s7 fits perfectly, but that's just me. When I have it on hand i carry both the s5 and s7 back to back in the same pocket.
for quite a few of us, the phone calling part is the least important part in our devices, if it works reasonably well that's all we need. We simply dont care if it's super comfortable or call quality, as long as the ocassional call comes though without hassle. The s7 is not at all uncomfortable when held as a phone against your head (depending on how big your hands are), if you ignore the fact it's configured all wrong to make calls (speaker/mic is positioned for video chatting and not voice calls)

documentation is up on tmobile website.. user manual (250+pages), reset your device, and tech specs, etc... looks like no voice calls/phone app/ caller Ids
welp, just have to wait for the XDA community to get this thing calling.. or hope for a Euro voice enabled one...
I'll be keeping an eye on this.

I bought my original tab from onthego solutions. I don't know if they'll have the new version, but mine was designed for the Rogers network so it works perfect in the u.s. with at&t. This also avoided any contract commitment so if it does come to the u.s. it would cost about that much anyway (for out of contract purchase) I've scanning online daily to see if the "full" (voice modem) version has surfaced anywhere yet.

Everyone is talking about how hard it is to hold this thing to your ear for a phone call. I use a bluetooth most of the time. The original doesn't have a ear speaker, it is bluetooth, or speaker phone (which is still great in a noisy room)
I have even seen ads on craigslist locally from people who will unlock the phone modem in these for a few bucks, but when it first came out in the u.s. someone here on xda posted a hack for doing just that (t-mobile phone I believe) so it's not anything new at this point.

confirmed voice calls in indonesia and malaysia..
now to see if flashing these firmwares over ..say... a tmobile version will enable voice calls.

hoping it can so i can upgrade my current galaxy tab

Any sound When Getting Notifications ?

i really want to know from someone who using the Gear s2 watch.
since there is no speaker in the watch , what happen when you get any notification ?
only vibration or do you get a small sound like the apple watch ? or no sound at all
thanks

Only vibration.

that's a huge huge Minus !

Just keep the audio notifications turned on your phone then.
Or don't get an S2.
Or get the 3g model that has a speaker on it.
Or get all hyperbolic about it.

3g model for sell somewhere ?
and no one knows for sure if the speaker can be used for notification
i am so disappointed from that , so bad

Next month.

does it vibrate notifications if your phone is not around? or does BT need to be available. I cannot figure out if the Gear S2 has WiFi.....

The watch is a disappointment, major step back in their advancements over the years. Was a leader, now a copy cat follower

The gear does have WiFi. However I always have my phone so my WiFi is off to save battery.

Only the 3G model,has the speaker. The other models have a microphone for voice to text, voice memo etc.

I know what you mean. A lot of their products seem to fall short by a bit. A shame really since Samsung has so much resources at their disposal.
Having a speaker on the non-3G would've been better and the S2 and S2 Classic would've been more wholesome.
I've had my S2 since Saturday & I'll definitely be returning it despite it being the first smartwatch I actually like.
I'll give it a try again when the 3G version comes out.

It will vibrate, and make the alarm on your device go off. Gear S2 has basically 3 different models. There are many people that do not want to talk on their wrist during calls and can save some money and just get the Classic or Regular model. If you wanna shovel out a few more bucks get the 3G model. Or the original Gear S which I have and love. With those models you can choose to either connect it to your device for calls, or have a stand alone number and or have calls forwarded to the watch if you want. The 3G model is good for people that want to leave their phone at home at times during jogs and can have data on the go. I know a guy that uses his S as a 3G device because he can't bring a phone into his job but the Gear S allows him to receive calls and direct them to his Bluetooth headset if need be.

Been using Pebble before the S2 and the vibration was strong
For the S2, setting the vibration to maximum... I can barely feel it...

Well, to round up a bit, it does not have a speaker and conisdering that the previous watches had it, looks like a step backwards. At the end this market is evolving and both Apple and Samsung are trying to put the right features on their devices. I also have a Gear Neo 2 and frankly speaking you look pretty stupid talking thru a plastic watch on your wrist. It appears that talking over the watch is not a killer feature. I complained about it at the beggining but then I realized that is not natural to talk to your watch, besides you dind't got any privacy dureing your calls. I like the Gear S2 features better. Has a much better integration to the phone and a cleaned up and less buggy software than the Neo 2. The OLED screen is the best in the market for any smartwatch. Finally, regarding the wifi it has some very nice features. First of all it takes the wifi setup directly from your phone. If you set up your phone to access your wireless router, then your Gear S2 is ready to go. Second if you leave your phone at home and are in your office with the watch on wifi, you still get all your text messages, whatsapp, even email on your watch! Thats really cool and useful. Botom line, this reminds me when Palm ruled back in the 90's and declared that the keyboard was dead with their giraffe hand writing technology. Now, 20 years later, we still use these touch screen mini keyboards that force us to correct whatever we type over and over again. A step forward? Does anybody complaint about it? Maybe the same will happen with the idea of use your watch as a phone. Only time will tell...

I disagree. While using the speakerphone on your watch may seem silly in public, it is infinitely useful when you are driving. I don't use a bluetooth headset as it requires quite a bit of fiddling and keeping an additional device charged is just a pain. I have been using my Samsung Gear 2 for years primarily because of its speakerphone capability, and did not buy the Gear S2 primarily because it was missing the key feature for me.

find my watch use to make a sound when I first got it I know it did but now it does nothing. but vibrate. anyone know if they turned it off in the software and I just never realized it?

Anyone coming from Gear S

I am curious to try smart watch. I am not sure which one to get, gear S or gear S2, How want to know about software expernece. I am okay with Gear S's size and feel S2 is little bit small for me. Please let me know if you have used both.

Don't waste money on the s2 until development of software is. I better s right now is a better buy

Spend your money on the S2. It's fantastic.

Coming from my beloved Gear S and I love the S2, it's great looking, looks like an actual watch and doesn't attract the attention that the Gear S did, which I didn't mind in the beginning but then got pretty annoyed with, but it was also huge which again I didn't mind cuz I'm a pretty big dude, but it was just a lot of watch lol. I've had the S2 since launch day and love it, only thing I miss is the speaker capabilities, but I'm gonna remedy that by grabbing the 3G model when it drops, I had a phone line on my Gear S, so I'm just gonna swap it over. For me it was a great switch, the apps are slim but I never got into apps on a watch, the functionality built in are what attract me to the Gears and Tizen.

Im with Dmac....I love my Gear S but every morning I wake up and find myself reaching for the Gear S2. The feel of the watch on your wrist just feels right and the flow of the operating system is amazing. Im not a huge app person so what it has right now is enough for me (except I cant wait for Samsung Pay!!). The user friendly notifications and ability to use the rotating bezel to read them just feels right. I also love big watches (30 of 36 watches are 48mm and bigger) so I do love the size of Gear S but it did get annoying with people always saying how big and stupid it looks. Unlike most people I dont need the speaker on the watch so Im ok with always having my cell phone in hand. The only annoying thing with the Gear S2 is S Voice. Samsung needs to update the program to work better and have better voice recognition since it is very hit or miss (mostly miss). The last HUGE plus on the Gear S2 is the battery life. If you make a few tweaks you can make it through a whole day plus as second.....the Gear S is not the same case. I was lucky to make it through an entire day.
Oh I did get a perfect condition refurb Verizon Gear S for $150 so if you can get the same price I did then I would say get both!! LOL!!

Think people just need to figure out if they want a smartwatch or a smartphone on their wrist. Different strokes...

I an on my third Gear. I had the Gear 1, 2, and now the S. IMO, the S2 like the Note 5, went backwards. In the past, when Samsung upgraded those two, I blindly would buy the upgrade on the strength that it has everything the previous model has and more. Not so, with the Note 5 and Gear S2.
The first bad mark, the S2 went down in size..Now, I hear talk of no speaker, OMG. I will give the S2 3g model a try, and that is about it. My Gear S does everything, with it own sim, it really is great. I can leave my phone home, and still good to go. Plus, I can show off my pictures, browse, and all.
IMO, the S2 should have been 25% bigger, about the size of a normal high end sportwatch. All models should have speakers too.
Samsung saved me about $1100 that was money for a Note 5 and the S2.

Bought Gear S new one from ebay for $200. It still has manufactures warranty left on it, will see how it work outs or go get gear s2 in future.

Bought the S2 and I'm happy with it. Just want a round watch with notifications.
Been using the Pebble before that.
Only complain is the vibration is a little weak.

I agree. I have just bought a Gear S2 classic and on opening the box I just thought it really needs to be bigger and if that were so it would easily take the place of my Gear S. I don't care about having lots of apps or a speaker but I do care about the size. I probably won't be keeping it.

I have some questions about the 3G version

I just purchased it. I'm on the T-Mobile but the watch is on AT&T. I read some stuff in another thread about it here but I'm not sure if that's outdated.
First, how is Tizen and using this watch for someone coming from AW? I lost my Urbane and just bought this because I purchased the S7 Edge.
What am I going to not be able to do, if anything, because the watch and phone are on different carriers?
How is the build quality and water resistance?
Thanks!

Also, is there any way to just "unlock" it and work with another carrier?

1. I dont mind Tizen at all. Its no android wear but it does everything but navigation. Least as good as AW. But notifications work well and typing old T9 isnt hard at all. Love the rotating bezel though. Also there are not many apps but there some pretty decent watch faces.
2. Build is pretty solid, the strap connector seems pretty weak but you can always get another. Some people bands have broke but mine i still going fine. Havent tried to get mine wet but it works after walking in the rain a few times but nothing major.
3. Far as the unlock, I am not the person to ask. Is it attached to the ATT network or just a ATT model? You can always just is it with BT only. You should be fine using an ATT watch on tmobile. Since all it really does is call forward missed calls it really shouldn't mater.

Well all I can say it works, the main thing is that you have to basically relearn how to talk to it. AW is much easier to use but it does work. I honestly don't ever use it. I usually always just the Google voice on my phone to make appointments etc. Id rather use T9 to respond to sms rather to s-voice.

I'm on tmobile but also have at&t model s2 sport and just use the watch on bluetooth. Wish there was a way to unlock so I could switch it to tmobile even though I'm not even sure I'd activate it through either. That's probably why it didn't matter which esim watch I bought. Haven't used s voice as using t9 isn't difficult ever with my finger being damn near the size of the screen, I do sometimes hit to fast, but it workseems nice. I've been itching to just jump into a pool with both watch and s7even, but a little nervous. In have let it hit the shower for a few secs just to show my girlfriend it was alright to get wet. Still waiting for Samsung pay so I wouldn't have to reach for the phone

Love / Hate relationship with my S3

Ok, before I start, I have to say that my S3 Frontier is the best Smart Watch I have ever owned. I have had an apple watch. I own an LG Urbane, Gear S2 and now the S3 Frontier LTE version.
Now I have to say that this is an awesome watch but I have been having several issues that are bugging me but I am sure they can be fixed with software updates so I'm hanging in there but here are my issues and they are getting annoying:
Watch constantly locks, thinking I took the watch off my wrist. If I tighten it real tight it won't. The heart beat sensor constantly tells me to reposition the watch on my wrist or clean the sensor. I have to move it or tighten it several times before I can get a reading. The altimeter is always all over the place. I can recalibrate it in the same spot every time and get everything from - 100 feet to 200 feet. Mind you I live at sea level. The barometer stays at 30 and never moves even though I am sure the barometric pressure is changing. The GPS doesn't lock very quickly so using it as a standalone GPS isn't really feasible yet. Locks great with phone hooked up. Samsung Pay does not integrate with the phone version. Works great but when I pay with my watch, I don't get rewards points. Also, I kept my S2 for a more sporty look and when I was going somewhere that I didn't want to mess up my frontier. I connected to my S2 the other day and when I connected back to my s3, Samsung Pay had to be set up all over again. That is to inconvenient for those of us who would like to switch between watches. The gear app does a good job at being able to switch seamlessly but messes up Samsung Pay every time you switch. I only use it to impress people or don't have my phone with me but honestly Samsung Pay on the watch has been more of a hassle than it's worth for me. Now if Samsung were to integrate the promotions and the gear app wouldn't keep deleting my cards every time I switched watches, Samsung Pay would be dope.
Now you may say that I have defective sensors but upon trolling the net, I see others are having some of the same issues. I am sure that with some updates it will improve. I see that there has already been one update that improves the GPS but unfortunately I have to wait for Tmobile to push it out since I have the Lte version and have noticed that with my S2, you have to wait for updates if you have the LTE versions.
Now please don't get me wrong. I loved my S2 and am loving my s3 even more but still needs some improvement.
I still think it's the best on the market! Some say there is a lack of apps but there is an app for all my needs and between all the watch face apps and gear designer, I have even designed my own faces. I think hands down it even beats android wear in the watch face designing department. I also think this is definitely an apple watch killer. Only wish they would have made it a little more water resistant so I could swim with it but it's all good.
This watch has a lot of potential and I hope Samsung starts working on updates to fix its shortcomings but for now it's the best smart watch in my opinion.

Just curious (because you seem to use the watch all the time), how's the quality of the bezel? It became in time slightly loose and it's clicky when you tap on it?

I recognize your story but the love prevails for now, probably until a better S4 or Huawei Watch comes out.
Don't use Samsung pay but I don't recognize your GPS comment. Maybe I live under a satellite cause mine locks in about 3 to 5 seconds.
Btw coming from the doomed Pebble, I had a time steel and backed (%|#!) a time 2, I'm glad to find the S3 does the same plus more and looks like a proper watch. So I'll just have to live with it's quirks.
Edit: Been thinking about this. If Garmin would release a smaller Fenix 4 I'll probably get that, I like always on reflective displays better than oled.

Do you have the Bluetooth or LTE version? It is my understanding that there was an update that improved the GPS lock on the Bluetooth version. I'm still waiting for the update.
I am sure most if not all these quirks will be fixed with updates. Samsung did a good job fixing several issues with the S2 so I am confident they will do good with the S3. I just hate having to wait a few extra months because I have the LTE version but at the same time I use the standalone features with call forwarding and tmobile digits looks promising.
Trust me, I'm still more on the love side.

I switch between the gear s and gear s3 and have no problems with having to restart samsung pay. And you do get the points using the watch also.

I just don't know and I'm trying to make up my mind if I should return it or not.
The watch is fine otherwise but I'm thinking that MAYBE is just a bad luck and if I change it, everything it will be fine (like the one of OP).
I asked in a Samsung service about this problem and the technician said that at this point he has no clue if this is expected or not but that all the Gear S2 that he saw, had this little clicky thing.
Then I asked if the bezel is changed without disassembling the watch and he said that the bezel is attached to the watch face and it is changed as an entire unit, basically removing the bottom and the electronics and inserted into the new one.
Mine (in just 4 days after unpacking) is more than clicky when I tap it, the bezel is also slightly loose and there is enough lateral and vertical movement (when I press one side, the other is just slightly moving up).
I can't imagine that in time, it will be better but I can imagine all the dust and hair that it will be stuck under the bezel.

If you have any doubt, return it. If only for peace of mind. You can always buy it again.

Mine is less loose but It's loose a bit nevertheless...
I'm going back to the shop tomorrow but I doubt i can swap it...
