[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sinto202:
Ozrene, dobar je taj naš 7.7 samo što nam je firmware u nekoj beta verziji, raditi če još bolje na ICS-u. Po onome što sam ja čuo to bi trebalo biti za 2-3 tjedna.

Vozdra
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] thunder9111:
i seriously think there has to be a major problem at the factories with producing the 7.7's.. samsung can't really be this stupid to delay it so many times.. especially with the transformer prime coming out and taking a huge chunk of the market.

they've already failed once by releasing the 8.9 too late (and too expensive).

now they're going to do it again. great job samsung.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] c4Lvin:
Do you have pictures of the original packaging? I have yet to see one so until then, I think yours is most likely a test model or for reviews. Samsung is really messing things up this December for the release. First I heard it will be on sale in HK on the 6the of December. Now they pushed it back to the 15the, WTF? Give us an exact day and release it already. Might as well get the prime or iPad 3 geez!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] thunder9111:
i suspect the release date in hong kong has been pushed from 12/15 to 12/25 again..

http://www.price.com.hk/product.php?p=132982

i remember it was 12/15 like 2 days ago.. this made me really pissed at samsung.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] c4Lvin:
There are actually rumors saying that it won't even be out in December and will be in January instead which I will have to pass up on it if that is the case as 2012 will be a new year for quad cores and new exynos A15. With all these new low priced tablets in the market, the prices will only go down. I really think this 7.7 would be successful if it was launched properly but it's been nothing but a huge disappointment.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] shinji21:
This really sucks big time.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] deckensian:
Is it really possible to launch dual core tablet in a year of quad-core tablets?

maybe they depend that Samsung is the only manufacturer of phone-tablets but it is still not enough I guess.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sg10:
maybe samsung doesn't care because no other company make dual/quad core tablet below 8" yet ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] pinsb:
Or maybe it's because there are few if any apps that currently require a quad core.

I'm still in shock by how powerful my SGS2 is.

By the end of next year some apps may need it but I suspect that the 7.7(12) will be ready for launch by then and if the A15 is as fast as reviews suggest people won't care if it's dual core or quad core as long as the job gets done.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Justin^Tan:
All this wait, makes me crave more for asus padfone. With its tegra 3, and if it ships with ice cream sandwich, I'll say goodbye to tab 7.7
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] c4Lvin:
If you guys are in the USA, I'd say forget about it in 2011. Expect it in first quarter of 2012 at the earliest. There are slim chances that it will be released by the end of the year in Europe and Asia. I have no idea why it's taking so long, perhaps it is the suits that's going on but please don't announce it if they aren't clear for sale! My note is doing just fine for me. Seriously though, if this was released in 2012, it would have almost half year old technology knowing a first saw glimpses of it on September 1st. Pathetic....

Sorry for the rant.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] orenxda:
I read that the release would be early march 2012 because of a raw material supply problem for amoled + production...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] olyloh6696:
Source?

If that's the case, Shame on Samsung, that is a poor decision
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Justin^Tan:
anybody know what series of exynos this tab 7.7 gonna run on? 4210? 4412?

I read that 4210 is the one on gs2 and clocked up to 1.2Ghz, while 4412 gonna clocked at 1.5 Ghz quad core

and how its comparison with tegra 3? considering mali vs geforce, which one is better?

any source?

Im thinking of getting this one or asus padfone, can't seem to find a reliable source on my own with my limited internet hehe
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nostalgie:
I have an pre-order through dmavo and the sales rep says that for Australia it is listed as 6/01/2012.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] iarude:
price but no date

Samsung.cz post a price (samsung.com/cz/consumer/mobile-phone/tablets/tablets/GT-P6800LSAXEZ) but no date of release
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] pinsb:
To save people having to look it up.....

The price on the Czech Samsung site is 16199 CZK which is about....

£550

or

$850

or

640 Euro

More then I expected to be honest, probably about £100 more then I think it should be priced at.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] friedje:
Actually it is already available in the uk for 499 euros wifi only, and 599 euros 3G

Too bad I just bought the Note! Cannot afford both lol
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] deckensian:
Are you sure!!!! Never heard any announcement.

Can say where exactly in uk? Which shop I mean?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] friedje:
http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=15666&sd=specs

It's in france i believe, since it's a french prefix tel. for contact
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] deckensian:
It says only 8 units in stock. I guess this means I try is not officially announced, I'm losing my patience Samsung!!!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] friedje:
This morning they had 9 in stock,

true not much, but that is anyway 8 more then anywhere else lol.

that said nobody tells you to buy there, just stumbled on the ad and

thought it might interest someone.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] threelions:
Be warned I've seen posters on another site say they had been ripped off by that site. Am I allowed to post links to other forums? If so I will post a link.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] iarude:
not sure its safe

maybe its available by simplyelectronics but it will be send from HongKong so i think you have to pay customs duty/goods and services tax.

i'm not very sure its safe to buy there so i will wait until its available in Czech Republic or Austria to buy there so i get the european guaranty by samsung.

in germany we wont get it because of apple
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] shinji21:
I believe there were people from other forum placing order at simplyelectrpnics, and all they got was a confirmation with no actual shippment. Some were working hard on their refunds.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] turt:
Beware, simplyelectronics is a Hong-Kong based company who does not have actual stock. Some people have ordered weeks ago when they claimed to have stock, and ended up complaining to their credit card company to get a refund...

So I'd advise to stay away from this seller.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nascar24usa:
Cancelled Order

Previous post absolutely true. I ordered with AM X on Wednesday, email said ship one to two days, by Monday I received nothing further. I filed dispute with AM X, easy, over the air, since this company did hit my card. AM X investigates, freezes the payment, not charged on my card anymore. The interesting thing the same day I did this I cancelled order first, refund has been pending for a week now. Really doesn't matter AM X has stopped payment and eventually it will be cancelled, but I would never deal with this company again.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] c4Lvin:
I would not buy any thing from those HK rip off sites. probably the best one is expansys but they are way too expensive. They are no better than guys from Nigeria. I live here and am very careful of where to buy my goods. I too have been waiting and searched the local forums and nobody has it. Show me a retail box and I will believe it. The 7 plus just came out a few days ago though. These con artists will take your money and use it for something else if you don't know how to deal with your CC company. Not everybody here is like that but when it comes to stuff like that, not surprised at all. Thieves everywhere. Rumours still says early January which is a horrible time as everyone will be broke after xmas. Samsung lost out on this one badly. Not a bad as the Prime though. Same old crapnBS....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] friedje:
Sorry to have posted that link, i didn't know they were HK based.

They are even amazon-partner. I hope nobody ordered because

of my post .
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] will6316:
Better order thru paypal if you want your money back. Because they dont have any. i cancelled order and got my money back
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wasilvers:
I read verizon is supposed to have the 7.7. It's not on their webstore yet. But I'm patiently waiting :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Alcibiade:
Simply availale fro Samsung's website... It is expected o be a 1.4 Ghz dualcore

Just don't dream of a Quadcore for now...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Justin^Tan:
err. I know its gonna be 1.4 Ghz, my point is in the chipset used as it affect the gpu differences between 4210 on galaxy s2 and the upcoming 4412, but the weird thing is 4210 stated that it can be clocked up to 1.2 Ghz while tab 7.7 is 1.4 Ghz, and I cant find what type of exynos chipset tab 7.7 used

I used to curious about SAMOLED+ so bad i want tab 7.7 right when it's out but after reading about the burn in, it makes me think again, and I'm kinda leaning towards the Asus Padfone now with tegra 3 and ICS >.<
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wintermute000:
guys its not vaporware its not production its the frickin lawsuits.

I had a play with an actual, live unit running production firmware @ the flagship Telstra store in melbourne australia, in the 'androidland' department (staffed by google employees). The were adamant that they had them piled up in warehouses but the legal guys wouldn't allow them to release.

god damn you apple

in case anyone cares, I was so impressed that it immediately nixed any thoughts I had to getting an 8.9 galaxy tab. Its the perfect size, incredible res, 1.4 dual core screamer and SD card expansion. All of you hating on it for being 'behind the spec curve' are either total spec whores or completely deluded and in the habit of using the wrong tool for the wrong job i.e. for most tablet applications and games I cannot see how it lacks any speed in any way, being clocked 400Mhz faster than the already scorching SGS2. And yah its noticeably snappier than the Tegra2 tabs.

And yah nobody in Hong Kong actual stores has any stock nor seems to be able to confirm a date when they go on sale, tried 3-4 different retailers today.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] MrWulf:
I have also had a play with the 7.7 at Telstra in Melbourne. The screen is pretty damn amazing. Easily the best I have seen on a tablet. The honeycomb launcher does lag a little, but it does this on every honeycomb tablet I have seen. Hopefully ICS fixes that, though I don't plan on using the stock launcher anyway.

While I would also prefer to have a quad core tablet in this, just for the sake of future proofing, the fact is that this tablet is going to be the most powerful in the 7-8 inch field. If you just want the most powerful tablet you can get, then you should buy the transformer prime.

An online site in Australia has started taking preorders for it, and states that they will be available from the 6th of January. This site has a fairly good reputation for this type of thing. I won't mention the site, as I don't know whether XDA condones that.

Personally, I am looking at buying this because the size suits me (10 inch is a bit to big for my likes), the screen is the best available (which, on a tablet, is probably the most important hardware component to me), it has sufficient power for what I plan to do with it and it has a micro sd card slot.

The only thing potentially going to hold me back is all the extra bloat that touchwiz will add to it and my concern for spending ~$500 on this if Windows 8 comes out and is dramatically more productive and useful than android. Though Win8 isn't coming out for awhile.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sg10:
just curious,

If it is legal problem, why Samsung doesn't release it in Asia ?

Apple doesn't have any power to sue Samsung in most Asian country

or am I wrong ? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Justin^Tan:
True story. But in my country they have just released the 7plus. Might want to wait a bit, but some of the counter girl said that it will come around january, I heard. Dunno if its trustworthy or not
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] tboy2000:
I can't wait to get this. It seems the perfect tablet in terms of size, weight, and looks. May even sell my HP touchpad for this.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
What about using the device as a phone? I have been looking everywhere to find video of someone using the phone dialer on the device, but cannot find anything :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vickytoria:
You can use it as a phone, I use it and i'm pleased. I use it with a Bluetooth headset
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Croak:
I couldn't wait any longer, and jumped on a good deal on a Tab 8.9 LTE (Qualcomm S3 instead of Tegra 2).

After using the 8.9 for a couple weeks, I've come to the conclusion that 7.7 may be too small for me, despite the awesomeness of SAMOLED and Exynos. I'll check it out, but it's no longer a guaranteed sight-unseen purchase for me.

I say this being an original Tab owner, and a Tab 10.1 owner, I find the 8.9 to be just the right size for my needs. Just wish the 8.9 came with an SD card slot.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Scotte3:
Nice video of the 7.7 on youtube, Vickytoria...

I can't post links yet maybe you can share it here?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Could you post video of dialer in action etc? I see nowhere on the internet with this being shown. :P
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Justin^Tan:
It is official that this tab can make phone calls like the original tab or 7 plus, and instead of loudspeaker, you had the receiver so you can use it like a regular phone

why do you need the video for?

check out the official samsung website if you're still unsure
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Scotte3:
Apparently the Samsung site in your country has the 7.7 listed?

In the U.S. site it is still MIA.

Link?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Basically. I just want to know as much as I can, and see as much as I can. Living here in the US, carriers don't like tablet devices that can double as phones, so, for me it's a case of "when I see it, I'll believe it." Also want to justify the import premium. :)

Have Galaxy Note for now, but I'm still undecided as to whether or not to keep it. Maybe get the 7.7 instead. I'm waiting to see what the ICS experience is going to be like on the Note. If it's more like Honeycomb, I'll probably keep it. If not, I'll go sell it, go back to my SGS2, and get the 7.7 :)

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

P.S. Has anyone rooted the 7.7 yet? Maybe the same method for the 10.1/8.9 works?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
It's on the international version. I don't have a link, but you can google it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mitzah:
I've seen the new Samsung Galaxy 7.7 Tab in action. It was running pretty smooth with an old firmware. There were some previews made by Samsung representatives, but I can't remember where I've read them.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Lemme say again: Is there root for it yet? Maybe even CWM? ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mitzah:
I found the preview here. It was made about 2 months ago and it was pretty stable. The previewer seems pleased with its abilities. Hope it helps.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Where did you buy?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mitzah:
I didn't buy it, it's not mine. That preview was done by a Samsung Mobiler (representative of some sort) and they had the tablet early on, in autumn. I had the chance to use one of the tablets and it was pretty smooth. You should check out the link, it has some info.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
It looks like there are a handful of places selling, but they all look like no-name "never heard of them" re-sellers that seem rather suspicious. Not sure I would trust my money to any of them...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
I know I wouldn't. I just wish they'd give us a date.

Right now there are only 2 tabs on the market (in the US) that are under 8" and have good screen resolution. I'd prefer this one to both of the others.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Oh well. I have the Galaxy Note for now, and so far it's ok, but I really do wish it had more of a tablet feel to it, like Honeycomb or something. Hopefully ICS will address this. I just hope it's the tablet optimized version of ICS, and not the phone optimized version (or at least I hope we can find a way to make the OS think it's on a tablet instead of a phone :P)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
Usually that's all about screen resolution, and there's no obvious way to change that. Presumably if the device had enough of a following, someone on xda would figure out a way to do it. But that means hoping it has enough of a following.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mitzah:
It says something about the date right here. Mid-January to early February, I think.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
That could be the correct date range, but I don't put a lot of stock in it, esp since it's different for each market, but mostly because I'm not sure I'd call that site an authority.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Well, that's just the thing. The Note has the same screen resolution as most other larger tablets (1280x800). So there has to be something else... Maybe the software pixel density has something to do with it? Stock Note Android OS pixel density settings are at 320. Maybe decreasing that so something like 220 in ICS will be enough to force a tablet layout instead? Who knows until we actually have it though!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
I know the Huawei Mediapad / T-mo Springboard is a 7" with 1280x800 running honeycomb, and it is definitely treated as a tab. And I've read that other 7" tabs without at least that resolution aren't treated as a tab. And I also know that android typically doesn't play well when you screw around with density (which is a bummer). I had wondered if there was a magical density number that would make it change its mind. It seems like android recognizes only a handful of density settings, but my market isn't happy when I change the density on my phone even if I change it to another accepted setting. Dunno.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Justin^Tan:
here: http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/7.7/feature.html?type=find

still, it's verizon right to make it able or not able to make phone call

but at least, u know that the official one's can

it's ur decision anyway
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
And this is precisely the reason I avoid CDMA carriers in the US, and why I ALWAYS buy unlocked devices. Nothing infuriates me more than when carriers deliberately disable, lock down, and bloat up what would otherwise be an even better piece of hardware.

US carriers disabled the P1000's calling functionality because they don't want you to own a device that functions as both a phone and a tablet. They want you to have a phone AND a tablet, and pay data or tethering for both! It's flat out greedy, and it pisses me off to no end!

It's my right to flip greedy carriers the middle finger by buying devices which skirt their greedy, innovation stifling, corporate pocket money-filling, rules, regulations, and limitations by buying devices directly from the manufacturer, which can be used as the manufacturer, not the carrier, intended them to be used, and which are otherwise free from the shackles of corporate carrier greed.

By subscribing to a CDMA carrier, you as a consumer forgo your freedom of choice, and instead consign yourself to the limitations of being able to buy your equipment from only one source: the carrier. How often do you see carrier unlocked CDMA devices being sold? Not often. How often do you see the newest, latest, most cutting-edge mobile tech come out in CDMA form before the GSM variation? Almost never.

Unlocked, un-subsidized, untouched by carriers, and unshackled GSM FTW!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] tku01:
Finger crossed

I have been waiting for this one for a while now. I live in Sweden and the 7.0 plus are not out here yet.

But, one big online store in Sweden listed this to be in stock in 20 January. I have ordered the 7.7 now. :-)

Now the finger crossing period has started.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] unnamed123:
Good specifications, but I heard that HoneyComb is really buggy. Hope that Samsung will provide ICS on GT7.7.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] silent_eve:
you should get the asus transformer prime
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] JetFan:
Thanks for the compelling advice.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vamp6x6x6x:
I am actually thinking about getting the 7+. I know, this has awesomely awesome specs, but does anyone know a solid release date for thing yet?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
From what I can gather, Verizon might release it by early February. They'll probably have an exclusive for some time, so if anyone wants an unlocked (Verizon will probably shipped with a sealed SIM) they'll have to look for something sold from overseas.

For me, the 7+ seems nice, but the screen on the 7.7 is too compelling. I've actually got one on the way that I paid a few hundred bucks more than I probably could justify to my wife, but when it comes in (buyer protection via PayPal so if it doesn't I'll be ok) I'll post a quick review. I'm thinking the unit I'm getting will have an early 3.2 build so I'll limp along with that until Samsung releases ICS for it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] clubtech:
Where did you buy it from?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
I know a guy. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] CGeyser:
I recently got a 7.0+ (Wifi only version) and its pretty good.

The downside is that it sometimes takes awhile to connect to the WiFi. Other than that, its basically a really big phone that reboots if you have too many apps opened.

I also got an Ipad 2. Much bigger than the Galaxy tab but has a very simplistic interface.

If I had to choose between the two, I prefer the Galaxy Tab. It comes down to the iTunes/jailbrake thing. Plus, there are far too many expensive crappy Apple apps.

I wish they included more accessories (HDMI adapter, etc).

The 7" size is perfect. Any size increase would just make it Ipad2-ish.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vamp6x6x6x:
How many apps is to many because HC tends to keep apps open sometimes in the background.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusuo:
So i've had the arc for about a week now and really don't get on with it, mainly the lock button, i've nearly dropped the phone a few times trying to press it.

Anyway my phones being replaced and Ive installed the latest update, unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone, obviously the phone can't go back this way. Whats the easiest way to get this phone to a working (retail) state.
