[Eee Pad Transformer General] bassil2022:
I have been thinking the past few days about this decision.

I love the TF so much and how fast it is especially after rooting it, and with the keyboard its another awesome device.

HOWEVER, I don't use that keyboard a lot. I use it only when I need the USB port. So, paid $150 for just USB port!!! a don't type a lot with my tablet. Even if I need to type a lot, I will use my desktop.

So, I am having a wide, and little bit think and heavy tablet with an extra keyboard that I don't use while I can have the Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 with lighter and thinner + a small adapter for USB port whenever I need that. am I right?

I know that I will lose two things: 1. losing money by paying more 2. lose the capability to extend the capacity size by not having micro sd card slot.

BUT, I can reply to that 1. I will pay more for the thickness and weight 2. it doesn't really matter for me to expand the size more than 16gb. I never filled it up. I know its good option to have, but its ok with me.

This how it came to my mind the idea of selling the TF and getting the galaxy 10.1

any comments?!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SilverZero:
Another fascinating tale of personal preference!

Seriously, though. It's not a contest. If you're happy with your choice then that's all that matters. What do you care what a bunch of strangers on an Internet forum think?

Besides, you'll probably be back when the TF2 comes out anyway. ;)

Good luck! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jsm7483:
I decided to sell my Transformer also. I bought an Apple Newton. The viewing angles on the Transformer were just too hard to look past. I found myself using it less and less. Hopefully I will get way more use out of the newton.

Thanks for your advice anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] checkbox111:
Is there something wrong with that, or is it me :confused:

I thought about buying a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet (the one with the keyboard).

But i've started using my keyboard less and less so i sold it, so i no longer see the point. You can get Galaxy Tab 10.1 on ebay for rediculous cheap prices, but what would be the point of selling one Honeycomb Tablet for another, especially one without an external micro sd, which i constantly swap with my phone, (a Sensation with a 32gb) can't imagine anyone buying a tablet with no external micro sd card :eek:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cypher_zero:
Why in the world would you want to sell your TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] elementaldragon:
checkbox: not sure where you get the "ridiculous cheap prices" for the Galaxy Tab on eBay from. Last i checked, $400+ for a $400+ tablet isn't really that much of a bargain.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bassil2022:
I don't have any problems with HC. I like it I want to still use it in my next tablet. Also, I don't care really about having SD card reader because I will have the connection adapter instead of the whole keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bassil2022:
didn't you read my first post??
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bassil2022:
yeah, I know. that part sucks!! its not cheep to get it. Selling my transformer with the keyboard will get me only 16gb galaxy with out paying a penny out of my pocket. and if I want the 32gb I have to pay some more.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ToonXW:
Definitely not worth it in my opinion.

If I were you I'd rather wait till TF2 comes out before making any decision. What's more if the dock you are having now is compatible to use with TF2? That saves you a lot of money without the dock already.

No point rushing, take your time and observe. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ElCamino:
If you plan on using a stylus the ThinkPad tablet works great. Just got the ThinkPad tablet a few days ago and still testing out with the apps.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jimbob1971:
Viewing angles? Seriously? In my opinion the viewing angles are very good, and the screen itself is excellent. I can't imagine many other people sending the device back for that reason.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:

I would have been happy to sell you my Newton. I would have even thrown in a 300 baudd modem.

Well, if you are going to do it, now is the time. The NewEgg $60 Gift Card promotion on it ends today. You could then use the gift card to buy the adapter you are talking about and you might be able to break even sale of your TF and gear.

Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryan stewart:
How are people not filling up their tablets? Do you guys consume no media away from home?

I travel a ton and i like to have some videos on there and the HD rips fill up the memory in no time. Even with the combined 16+32 I have to cycle through videos from time to time to keep the content fresh.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] magicdave26:
Ive read this a few times now, do people really see a speed increase after rooting their TF's ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] droidjens:
I swapped from 3.1 unrooted stock to Prime 1.5, and are now running Revolver 2.5.1 with Clemsyn Blade kernel. I dare to say I've noticed very noticable increase in general smoothness when scrolling homescreens and such from 3.1 stock. However, I don't know how stock unrooted 3.2 with latest updates run like. Initial thought after going custom ROMs was pretty much "wow, this is almost iPad-smooth". Just almost, tho. But hey... who couldn't render a list of icons insanely fast, anyways? ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ExploreMN:
I consume a lot of media, but the average movie for me is between 700-800mb and I really don't need HD on the tablet. So I load up the SD card with my media and leave the 16gb internal for programs and more "permanent" data.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] fldude99:
To the OP: each his own. For me I wouldn't have even bought the transformer if not for the keyboard dock. I use the keyboard 90% of the time and love the extra battery life. I hardly ever plug the charger into the tab itself. My 2nd choice would have been the Samsung tab with a BT keyboard...just my 2c
[Eee Pad Transformer General] darkonex:
ended up selling my tf and dock too cause I used it basically as a netbook all the time yet the web browsing experience sucked on it. Sold it for $11 less than I paid for it 2 months prior, bought an HP DM1z ultraportable and never looked back.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] player911:
It's called streaming media.

Plus you don't need HD. The resolution isn't HUGE and the screen is small. 700-800mb per movie roughly sounds about right. I travel alot for work and honestly I don't even watch movies outside of Netflix or some streaming network. I have about 8gb of Music but still have whats left of the microSD and the whole internal 16gb storage (which I don't use at all).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] earlyberd:
To me, the major selling point for the Transformer was the keyboard dock and the ability to utilize external storage. I put all of my HD movies on an external hard drive, that way there's no need to cycle through them. You can find 1TB external hard drives these days for under $100, which should easily hold a couple hundred 720p movies.

Aside from that, cloud storage really helps with cutting down on the amount of media you need to take with you on local storage.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] josephislee:
I love my transformer as well. But just watched a review of the htc jet stream on mobile tech review.. man, I would trade for that tablet any day.. except its 800 dollars -.-
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dr.m0x:
I pondered for quite a while between this and and an Acer Iconia. In the end I went with this for the extra battery life in the dock. Sometimes I regret the decision, sometimes not. Sadly there is no perfect device. I would really like a usb port on the tablet side of the transformer but I really wish the Iconia had a little more juice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jblah:
i almost got the transformer this past weekend but then i read about the transformer 2 coming out here shortly and i decided to cancel my order and wait. tegra 3 is going to rock on the transformer 2.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] random_noise:
I struggled to decide between the Transformer & the 'Always Innovating' Smart book.

I really liked the ability to switch between Ubuntu & android on the fly & the way you can us it as a spare screen / keyboard for a PC as well.

In the end I decided it looked too thick & heavy & the TF won out. I had hoped the TF ubuntu port would be fully there by now & although they're getting there, it still isn't quite a flawless as the Linux running on the Smart Book looks.

I'm sure the grass is always greener though. If I'd bought it I'd probably be looking at a TF right now going 'It looks so small & light' :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] aburgthing:
I guess it's all a matter of preference but I really don't see any viable reason to switch from the Transformer to the Galaxy. In fact, I was sitting with a novice co-worker who just bought the Galaxy tab and had no idea how to run and set it up. So I was going over some things with him on his tablet. It's hard to say but for some reason my Transformer (updated stock) just ran smoother and some things on his tablet were frustratingly slow. The differences in the interfaces are subtle to say the least but the hardware seemed to handle the processes differently. Visually, we both had the respective proprietary cases on and if you weren't Houdini you couldn't tell which was which. But if you have an itch to scratch, well nothing is going to convince you otherwise.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] InfectedMushroom:
Just curious, are you from Carbondale, PA?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlexTheStampede:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] bassil2022:
100% agree

this is exactly what I say to myself. I am just changing the hardware with different accessories. The software will be the same with companies taste touches, some will make faster and some will make it slower. Unless the device is rooted then let the geeks talk.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bscotth:
I'm guessing you're talking about TouchWiz 3.0 as in "regular launcher"? If so, then no, it's not possible to my knowledge.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Focustom:
Yeah that's what I was talking about I now know TW Launcher stands for Touch Wiz haha
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
gtg could do it. it was done in a number of versions for the i9000 and captivate. I don't really like it as much visually. but you may be able to use the i9000 version if you need the Samsung widgets and kies to work but I'm not sure. hdmi will not work. remember that if you have a gingerbread Samsung rom to find a gingerbread tw3 launcher and a froyo launcher for a froyo rom.

if you don't use the Samsung widgets then there is nothing wrong with zeam, lp, go launcher, adw, or others...

[HTC ChaCha] Konner920:
Not to be a little rude, but I'm beginning to think this is the only HTC phone no one cares about.

I picked one up at bestbuy today and I love the form factor, the keyboard is amazing. But.. AT&T's bloatware can't be removed and due to the extremely small internal storage it's impossible to deal with it. I'm probably gonna end up taking it back.

These reasons follow.

1. Can't be rooted unless it's S-OFF

2. Screen is small (smaller than the Veer, which i had before the status)

3. HTC sense on this thing is terrible.

4. Skype doesn't even support it's front camera

5. It doesn't seem like the developer community cares to much for the little chacha/status.

It's a nice phone but it's not something I'd keep around. It's what I'd sorta call one of HTC's best work. I've had a few HTC phones and this is the best, in terms of the loud speaker, call quality and the keyboard. but the small internal memory and no rooting just kills it.
[HTC ChaCha] zebdi:
Don't be too hasty, this phone is actually good.

Factory reset fixes mem issue. Launcher pro replaces sense for iphone like speed and smoothness. Replace browser with opera mini, gallery with quickpic and sms with handcent and you're good to go. Go to your local phone guy for s-off and have your way with this little beast.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
+1 for what zebdi said.

I s-off'ed my phone for 9-10 euros, rooted it myself then removed all bloatware. All done :)
[HTC ChaCha] Konner920:
Yeah im actually tempted to keep it mainly because the keyboard is just amazing. wish there was a free way to root the phone though.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Yep, once you are rooted it rocks.

Tbh even after I rooted I lost a little faith but once I cleared the bloat and used link2sd with an ext parted SD card , it works like a dream. Even if screen is a little small, the phone isn't huge so its acceptable!
