Samsung Galaxy Tab Price: Php34,990

Wow, nice!!!

hey! is this also god for sms?? and regular calls?? just like a normal phone???

This is great news. It’s priced better than the iPad so that’s really good for competition. Not getting one yet though. Will wait for the next iterations of Android or for this Tab to drop in price, whichever comes first. :D

mahal saka di pa optimize ang android 2.x sa tablet.
ang labas nyan oversize phone.

That much huh? Definitely a no for a poor sap like me. I shouldn’t have spent on food at all these past three months haha.

Will it be available in the local computer stores or from Globe or Smart?

That’s a pass. Too much for P35k.

7 ins tablets will be DOA ( dead-on-arrival ) – Steve jobs.:P

DOA? thats odd considering the only DOA I got was an ipod nano.

haha!
my android tablet from china can compete with that.
running on custom firmware, responsiveness is the same, and i also got it for like less than 1/3 the price plus at least 6 hours battery and 6mos warranty. on aesthetics, its not that bad as long as its on leather case and i wont mind using it beside an ipad or that thing. and btw, there are also china tablets running on cortex a8.

see the specs… samsung galaxy tab is much more superior than those cheap android tablets…

Seems that it’s slow and not as responsive as the iPad.
Also, it’s more costly than the iPad considering the Galaxy Tab has a smaller screen.

good alternative to ipad……

sayang yung playbook.. im dissapointed…!!!!

good specs on the Samsung tablet.

which reminds me, why isnt iPad shown in the Apple PH stores? and how much is iPad being officially sold?

at least we’ve got some idea that the iPad is doing well in the market after that latest Apple earnings release. time will tell if Samsung or RIM will surpass the iPad sales.

35K! mahal naman sana tama si Esteban DOA toh (Death on Arrival) para magmura to

“The 7-inch tablets are tweeners, too big to compete with a smartphone and too small to compete with an iPad,” Mr. Jobs said. Lest there be any doubts about his confidence, he added: “The current crop of 7-inch tablets will be D.O.A.: dead on arrival.”

DOA… DOA… DOA… DOA… DOA… DOA…

this is nice. gonna buy one of this.

i already got the ipad so i think ill get the cherry superion better than this at 15k cheaper. It is really DOA this galaxy tab.

Dude, know how much the 32gigs version cost? I need one badly asap, ive been looking around for one for weeks already.

Price is really not an issue, i just need one, know any store selling the 32 gig version here in manila already?
Ps. i use an ipad as well, battery life is godly, however i neef the tab for flash content, very important for me. Wish i could get one of these now already.

yung sa cherry wala pang 20k diba?

i thought it’d be late here. i’m totally getting one before they disappear.

Been looking all over the net but can’t find the 32 gb variant? Can anyone confirm come next week, will the 32 GB be available as well?

Mas Mahal siya sa ipad ah… Kailan kaya baba ito ng 23-25k? May ipad clone running android. 6k lang… mas ok pa bumili ng galaxy S kaso wala naman led flash camera.. anu sa tingin ninyo?

@chard > mag samsung wave ka nalang sir, same performance lang diprensyang firmware lang yan lamang pa ung wave may flash and ung quality ng phone medyo mas matigas. and lumalaki narin ung community ng bada so lets expect dadami na ung apps niyan.

sir yuga, any update on this one? available na ba locally… :)

I’ve scoured virra mall in greenhills but was told it will be out by the last week of November. May I know the store that sells this samsung tab? Thanks. I’ll be looking forward to your immediate reply.

better to have this… kesa sa ipad n lawenta..
pinkamgandang specs so far. hintay hintay pa para sa lalabas n cheaper price ng acer tabets..

Seeing this video made me want one for Christmas!

Can’t wait!

Talked to a Samsung Sales Rep. He was doing a demo for one of their cellphhone dealers.

It’s true it will be selling for 35k for 16gb. The 32gb will not be available initially.

Target launch Dec. No exact date yet.

Galaxy Tab will be sold through cellpone dealers not from Telcos (initially)

Grabe!!! Sobrang tagal naman ilabas tong Samsung Tab…

@unoberkano – LOL. Your comment made me clap and laugh at the same time. hit it on the head. i wonder if those who are raising a howl on the price of the Tab even considered spec by spec how it stacks up against the other tablets available in the market and why the Sammy Tab actually is a better proposition in terms of “value for money”. i do agree with a few who say that the present android version is not optimized for bigger screens. I guess we will just have to trust sammy’s word that they will upgrade this eventually (gingerbread or honeycomb anyone?)

I saw a store selling the tablet yesterday at Ghills Theater Mall. They are selling for 42k which is relatively cheap-er. I got a feel for the device. I’d say it has a nice feel to it unlike the Galaxy S.

Unless the distribution channels are already in place, the 34990 MSRP will still be nowhere to be found.

additional info yung box is just plain white box no box art or anything

should i get the tab from GH even though it’s not updated to froyo yet?

Hmm… the shop in theatre mall said their warranty is only good for 1 month

Got mine yesterday. Grabe ang ganda

I just came from the Samsung Mobile store in SM Marikina. I wanted to get a feel of the unit. It’s nice, but I’m still on the fence because of the price. If I pay with a credit card, the sales rep said it would be P38,590 total (12 mos, 0% interest). If I pay cash, it would be P4,000 less. I like it, but I think I’ll wait for other tablets to arrive, so I can test them out too.

@Mary: There’s an ad in the PDI with the location of stores selling it.

@Francis: Yup. Like I said, there’s already an ad in the Phil. Daily Inquirer with the store locations. There’s even a huge billboard along Commonwealth. I saw two units at SM Marikina. One was being shown to a couple, while the other one I got to hold.

anyone knows apn settings for samsung tab using globe prepaid sim?

i used www.globe.com.ph as the apn with the provided proxy. but i was only able to surf via browser. applications can’t connect with it.

apn http.globe.com.ph doesn’t work.

go to smart in rockwell, they are offering it for free for the weekend if you sign a new contract or retain. I signed up to retain earlier and will pick up the unit later. I think they sell it for 4K if there was no promo. I have a galaxy s with globe, i have a feeling that it’s somewhat of an overkill, what do you guys think? should i dispose of the galaxy s and get another phone?

Wow its nice but the price is not competitive… grabe…

Impractical! All these tablets are very impractical if they will cost me more than 20K. I will rather buy a fully functional notebook…Well if you’re the “porma” type of person why not.

I saw a demo unit of Samsung Galaxy Tab in Globe SM North Edsa. I tried to wait for my turn but the line is long.

I’m not sure if there is a free unit tied up to a plan.

Bah humbug. I’ll wait for the Blackberry Playbook.

Spare Change or Spare LEG? :))
I’m kidding.
Hmm, it looks pretty impressing but I’m still having doubts about its sensitivity since I had a touch screen samsung before and it was really slow. But I do hope this android tablet or something will make a change, if it doesnt, more people will be encouraged to buy Samsung’s other products, I’m afraid.

I bought iPad wi-fi w/ 3g last September 2010 and i also have Samsung galaxy which i bought early 3rd week of December. The comparison between 2 tablets are in each capabilities. Ipad has soft and smooth navigation than galaxy tab, but galaxy tab has better pixels than ipad, in terms of features Galaxy tab is better than Ipad, galaxy can use video call, it has 2 cameras, one is in front for video conference and the other one is at the back w/ a led flash. One thing i observe about Galaxy tab is the adobe flash player that quite impressive in internet browsing and also micro sd card slot which you can put extra space for your other stuffs.

In terms of best and quality performance i would choose Samsung Galaxy Tablet than Ipad, easy to use, easy to keep, more features, flexible and the best is economical.

Sorry for the typos, on my iPad. Auto spell correct FTP!

Not only that, by using Galaxy tab u can also make and edit MS Applications like; Word, Excel, Publisher and PowerPoint. Augmented Reality is also applicable in our country, Also GPS, accessing route in Metropolis was so great, I don’t know if it is also applicable out the Metropolis. Additional pogi points about Samsung Galaxy Tab are video conference, multi-tasking which is really excellent and gyro sensor for gaming. Multimedia is the best both video and music can compete to an excellent market brands like apple, sony and LG.

Pricey considering its Android xa. I thought Android products is cheaper.

Can i ask did Samsung Release a 32GB Version in Philippines and if yes please tell me which area did you see one with the promo sale at Php 21,990 or all Galaxy Tab only Release a 16GB Version please do verify want to buy one this coming April 15, 2011 as a Graduation Gift for my Self. Thanks .

Samsung Galaxy Tab – for IT People worth the purchase. Can’t Beat Tablet with Android you can Hack it Legally.

Out please do Reply. Thank you in advance.
