Default Galaxy Tab

Playing with a Galaxy tab here at Best Buy... Kinda cool. I like it better than my boss' I pad for typing but I think that my phone is faster.

Its too expensive IMO. Also, Froyo isnt made for a tablet so I wouldnt buy one until 3.0 is out.

Complete agreement. US Cellular has it for less with a contract but I would still hesitate. It's way too slow... I'm waiting for a HTC version on 3.0 for about $200 with a contract.

I hate that theyre treating tablets like cell phones with the contract business.

A contract for every single device is BS. Just like having to pay for state stickers for every vehicle instead of the person. I can't ride both my bikes at the same time.

Exactly. If I have a Verizon data plan on my phone I should be able to use that plan with a tablet too. Even if they charge a monthly device fee like cable does when you get a second cable box.

Eh, USC charges $15 per month for the data plan and they give you $300-400 off the tablet, I think. 2 year contract. 24x15=360... I don't see the difference? Hey, no one is stopping you from paying $600 for the damn thing you know.... Then you can use it on WiFi to your heart's content, weeeeeeee!!!!! I personally want to be able to use mine anywhere which will require some type of network access, which equals a contract of some sort anyway...

If they didn't charge by the vehicle, you would just let ur buds or family use the car....at least Mexicans would.
