Price comparisons

Ladies and gentlemen, I have started this thread because I will be purchasing a Galaxy Tab very shortly (through Vodafone Portugal).

They have not yet announced the price, and Portugal (like the UK, I guess) is notorious for charging WAY over-inflated prices for things that are available for much less in other countries.

So I ask you - the few, the lucky! - who already purchased their Galaxy Tabs; how much did you pay for it?

If everyone wants to just throw in their information here, we can all compare prices. Then maybe we know where to look when we search on eBay :P

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Price List

jeebspawnshop - Portugal - €620 off contract - Vodafone PT

shaggles - Thailand - 22,900 THB (€554) off contract (best price so far!)

chowdarygm - Germany - €729 off-contract (after €40 discount)

Carphone Warehouse - UK - 530 GBP off-contract

Verizon Wireless - USA - $600

Khisha - Location unknown (Pakistan?) - $900 (+ $20/month 2GB data plan)

koven - Europe somewhere - €672 (inc €30 shipping)

ranblv - Israel - $900 (+ $25/month data)

AnttiV - Finland - €32.90/month for 24 months (includes data & calls) - Total: €790

clubtech - Italy - €730 from eBay

twisted - United Arab Emirates - approx 3200 AED (€631) off contract
[Galaxy Tab General] Khisha:
Got it yesterday with my provider on contract.

It costs total like $900 with contract on $20 2gb data plan.
[Galaxy Tab General] koven:
672 E with postal costs (30E). Still waiting for package..
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
729 euro in germany after 40 euro discount off contract
[Galaxy Tab General] ranblv:
900$ + 25$ per month for data in Israel
[Galaxy Tab General] jeebspawnshop:
Thanks for the info guys. Really helps ;)

Just found this one:

Carphone Warehouse in the UK will be selling it for 530.00 GBP without contract, or 500.00 GBP on contract with Talk Mobile (doesn't mention contract duration).

EDIT: Just re-read chowdarygm's post; WOW! It's expensive in Germany.
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
:( it is very costly here but it was tempting... so got it somehow

[Q] Galaxy Tab UK pricing

Carphone Warehouse just announced they are now selling the 16GB 3G Galaxy Tab for £520 ($840) Personally, I don't think that is badly priced because it is almost the exact same price as a 16GB WiFi + 3G iPad for us Brits and I know for Americans it is a bit dear but, I'm sure the US price will come down in price. What are you guys idea on the pricing and will you be getting one?
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
UK is much better in getting the low price tag.....

In germany i paid 729 euro even after 40 euro discount :(:mad:

This is very bad part on Samsung for releasing this with different pricing within Europe...... a 130 euro diff is not at all acceptable......:mad:
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
That's the lowest price for the UK I've seen yet. So that's guaranteed to stay that price?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Galaxy Tab General] jeebspawnshop:
Carphone Warehouse actually announced their price at GBP 530 :)

Which equates to USD 844.

Was my input necessary? Not at all...
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
is the price announced officially or did you buy this at that price? i mean in USD
[Galaxy Tab General] koven:
I payed 642 E in Germany on notebooks.de + 30 E shipping fee to Poland. I also considered buying on amazon.de for 699 E. Right now the prices in those stores are higher.
[Galaxy Tab General] mrmilo69:
I'm very happy about this, barely more than a Desire HD SIM free and still with scope for reductions before it is released. I hope they have some sort of introductory Tab + keyboard combo
[Galaxy Tab General] AnttiV:
Expensive in Germany? Try Finland:

32.90€/month for 24 months... -> close to 800€ total. (just the device, data/calls on top of that...)

(That's almost double what the Galaxy S goes for...)

-_-

But, I still ordered one ^_^ (been waiting for this kind of device for 10+ years.)

Plus, I can use my existing contract with MultiSIM on this, so I don't need to pay anything but that.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
730euro, Ebay, Italy.
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
hey.. thank you very much for reminding that we have multiSIM option for the single contract. i totally forgot that i can do the same on my O2 connection with 5GB data.... i was just changing the simcard till now....

thanks mate for pointing that out....
[Galaxy Tab General] StuRoid:
The Carphone Warehouse price looks great, I do hope that all the other webstores take note and start fighting to make theirs cheaper though some how I think this figure is going to be the cheapest we'll find for quite some time.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Hopefully this will push competitors to start releasing prices.

Not long now :D

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Yeah, I tend to agree that this is a good price.

Ok, I wanted it to be lower. I did. But the minimum (realistically) was maybe £475 and the max was £600, so I'm happy.

Will I pay that price, rather than a contract one ? Maybe. I want to see what Vodafone will do for me (as preference) and particularly, I want to see just how much free crap I can get bundled with any contract.

Still, I'm happy with that pricing. Not too low, not too high.

As for the comparison to the iPad... Well it depends on lots of things. For those of us who love the Tab for what it is, it doesn't really matter that the iPad costs as much. We wouldn't have bought an iPad anyway. For the general public... Well I dunno. But I don't much care about them :p.
[Galaxy Tab General] AnttiV:
No probs mate :) Good for us Euros that we usually have that option ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] AnttiV:
I wanted the price to be much lower than it really became in Finland... :/

well, too bad and all that, but I *really* wanted that anyway... *shrug*

Ain't THAT the truth! :)
[Galaxy Tab General] brodieduncan:
Hopefully the standalone price will come down when others announce their prices which should happen soon

[Q] WiFi-only and 3G Galaxy Tab pricing

Yesterday, Carphone Warehouse announced their pricing for the 3G Galaxy Tab on the TalkMobile network which is almost the exact same price as its iPad counterpart that is being launched November 1st with a WiFi-only Galaxy Tab promised to come and other networks announcing their prices for Samsung's tablet soon (hopefully). What do you think other networks will charge for the Tab and what do you think the WiFi-only Tab will cost?

I'm not sure on what the networks will charge but, I think the WiFi-only Tab will cost in the region of £400-430 but, I really hope it will be around £350 (which will never happen in a million years) to better suit my budget.
[Galaxy Tab General] MorenoAv:
Vodafone Portugal announced today the price and the launch ... 614.00 Euros for the 16GB and 714.00 Euros for the 32GB.
[Galaxy Tab General] shaggles:
Thailand off contract 540 Euro (22900 THB)
[Galaxy Tab General] twisted:
hi,

the samsung galaxy tab is sold here in UAE around 3200 AED ~ 870 USD.

no contract.

[Galaxy Tab General] merkman:
Looks like Carphone Warehouse has the best deal for someone from the US to order and get one with the phone capability enabled huh?
[Galaxy Tab General] jeebspawnshop:
Thanks for all the info guys ;) It may seem like an useless exercise, but I like to order things from where I can get them cheapest - I'm not exactly swimming in money! So this has been pretty helpful to me, at least.

@merkman: Yup, looks like that'd be the best option :)
[Galaxy Tab General] StuRoid:
You'll have the phone capabilities if you do that but you you will be stuck using Edge and not get full 3G capabilities.
[Galaxy Tab General] saayinla:
So I presume who ever Pre-order from Carphoneware house will get their device by the 1st of November?
[Galaxy Tab General] sp1kez:
They are pretty much single handedly destroying any hopes for Android tablets to flourish at this price point.

$300 = Good

$400= High but doable

$600= LOL are they serious?

Why kill it before it even gets going? I can see them in the meeting "Oh we should sell it for $599" "totaly, people will go crazy for it" These execs have a mindset that everyone makes as much money as they do. For most people an android or apple tablet is more of a luxury expense than a need.

Bad bad Verizon
[Galaxy Tab General] jeebspawnshop:
Well, considering that in Europe it's going for a little more than €600 at its cheapest point, and reaching near €800 on the high end, I'd say $600 isn't bad ;)

Then again, I vaguely recall that the USA version does NOT have a phone built in to the Tab like the EU version? Not sure, but still, that's not bad considering the huge price over here.
[Galaxy Tab General] Morkai Almandragon:
The 600 without contract ? And I still pray they release it with phone function, I was so looking forward to this device. I'd pay the damned 600 if it would double as my )(@#*$&# phone!
[Galaxy Tab General] thomasskull666:
$600 dollars is way overpriced for just a tablet, if it doesn't have phone function or at least completely stable and working video chat, then the price is 100% not justifiable. For a sixth of the price, you could get a Gpad G10 and do essentially the same basic stuff.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
I paid $1100 for mine in Moscow. Its italian in origin and one of the first in Russia. Retail price here is rumored to be around the same when it hits the stores in late November.
[Galaxy Tab General] chowdarygm:
I dont understand how a basic device without any phone capability, not even 3g, no HD screen, no flash, no cameras, non customisable, no apps at launch and priced 499 dollar made so much market and 600 dollar for galaxy tab is hefty?

For me it is completely justified even at 700 euro

NOM
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
I Agree.

I think $600 is a fair price for what you are getting on a NO CONTRACT device.

If you buy an unlocked smartphone today you easily pay about $600 for a smaller screen and usually lower specs.

People really need to put things in perspective.

The only thing i agree is that they should not have took out the phone feature from the device.
[Galaxy Tab General] n-j-f:
It's a one month rolling contract with one month free so, if my arithmetic is right, you can use the SIM for four months and it will cost the same as buying without the contract.

Also, CW is on Quidco. It's not obvious what the cashback should be but when I ordered mine with the contract earlier today, Quidco shows I may be getting another £40 cashback. And I don't see why I cannot cancel the contract after 2 or 3 months either.

When the price was nearly £600 only last weekend, I really hadn't made up my mind whether it was too expensive for me. I was worried the price would fall after release and I would be annoyed at overpaying but this drop of £100 convinced me.

By the way, here's the link for the two options.

Carphone Warehouse
[Galaxy Tab General] n-j-f:
Ordered mine from CW with the one month contract. See my post here.

Or you can always get it from Tesco!
[Galaxy Tab General] n-j-f:
So is the 32gb going to be available at the same time as the 16gb in Portugal. Seems to be no sign of the 32gb in the UK.
[Galaxy Tab General] MorenoAv:
yep... but in the stores they haven't arrived yet... :confused:
[Galaxy Tab General] INeedYourHelp:
The thing still has a mic... what's stopping someone from using google voice?
[Galaxy Tab General] koven:
It's not a phone in US. In Europe you can use it as a phone..
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
Let's see when it's out in the US. We don;t know if the hardware is missing or not. If it's a similar HW as in Europe, we should be bale to flash a ROM that would enable the phone functions

That said yes it's a shame and looks expensive for anybody not willing to flash his device...
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Yeah it kinda sucks that the US guys may have to re-flash or use hacked roms, but such is life. I still think its a stupid move by stupid carriers who don't in anyway understand the attraction of the form factor.
[Windows Phone 7 General] surfnet:
I am a USA ATT user, but I want an omnia 7.. Is there any way I can buy it from europe and have it work here on ATT?

thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
I am pretty sure that you can buy it from a UK online retailer and use it on AT&T, however you would also need to buy an adapter for US plugs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
Why would you want the Omnia 7 vrs the focus? omnia 7 does not have external storage, and its thicker and i dont think you will get 3g..
[Windows Phone 7 General] surfnet:
hmmmm.. I thought it was the same phone as the focus, minus the ATT software and it is square instead of curved.

the reason I wanted it was cause it is available tommorrow :) and cause I think the square corners look nice than the focus (IMO)

but if it is as you say, perhaps waiting till november 8th is the way to go
[Windows Phone 7 General] lo-tek:
You'll not get 3g coverage. Only Edge using a Euro spec phone in the US.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Daffa222:
I'm a newbie when it comes to modifying phones and such, so just a quick question.

Will this work with our Desire Z's when we get them, or is this only for the G2 with stock Android?
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
should work

if not, could be adapted

the door is open
[G2 and Desire Z General] Noxis:
It will be interesting to know if a DesireHD can clock further. Will tell us if they are cherry picking from the wafers or just downclocking the DesireZ cpu regardless.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pickx:
Excuse my ignorance (this will be my first Android device) - what are the practical benefits of overclocking right now? PSX emulation is the only thing that comes to mind. Anything else I can only do only after achieving such a high clock rate?

If it's only "because I can", I'd rather have the battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TKCable:
The app setCPU can also down-clock if there is no CPU workload while having a better performance when it's needed.

This way you'll even get extra battery-life because most of the time your phone

is just idling.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Folks on the G2 forum are reporting no affect on their battery life with overclocking.

[G2 and Desire Z General] SuperFly03:
Some phones crap out at 1.3GHz some have been taken to 1.55GHz... it will vary phone to phone. The good news is the clocks can easily be adjusted with a stroke of the keyboard so if one setting doesn't work you can back it back down to one that will. :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
i have it set up as follows:200MHz Minimum Slider, 1200MHz Maximum Slider, Conservative mode and just followed the instructions as per https://sites.google.com/site/projec...allation-guide, but every time i boot up my phone and i start setcpu my readings are 1000max 100min but my sliders are set as 200MHz Minimum , 1200MHz Maximum. i know there is an option to set on boot but according to the link it states not to:

"Do not configure profiles, do not configure for set on boot. Set manually. There is a known problem with SetCPU that incorrectly configures your system at boot if selected. "

so if i want the settings to stick i have to click on the slider and it sets them to 200MHz Minimum , 1200MHz Maximum.

any suggestions as doing this manually is a pain....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoth12:
Until the bugs are fixed in the program, get used to manually setting it every time you re-boot your phone. Thems the breaks I'm afraid. Gotta set it manually, there is no work around until it gets fixed inside the program.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
thank you, hoping there was another way

If it works, you will not even have to use SetCPU. Good luck.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinis78:
hmm sounds like an idea but how do i access /system/etc/init.d and i don't mind using SetCPU as i have a profile saved so that if my phone starts to overheat it will revert to the setting i have set up, i might just stick with it until SetCPU is fixed.

I'm also using 1.9.1 currently, and I use profiles, and use the "autodetect" option in setcpu. Haven't had any problems since.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jezwick:
According to Marketwatch HTC and TomTom have struck a deal to put Tomtom maps onto HTC Android smartphones, the first phones being the aforementioned Desire Z and HD.

This is only good news with no downside, TomTom is recognised as a world leader in Sat navs, so to get them on our phones for free is a massive plus.

I do hope this will make its way on to the HD2 DHD builds :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I'd be very doubtful of that. TomTom said they're stopping development for the mobile platform because of piracy. They've decided to develop purely for their own hardware.

Anyway, the free navigation app that comes with Android is very good. Any satnav that succesfully gets me through central London is good enough in my book!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yungsonny2700:
Now I've started this thread hoping that one of you guys that are the greatest..lol would be so kind as to help me with my custom splash screen. I have the Evo of course..I made my photo in photoshop at 480x800. I have been successful with changing it with the ones that are posted by some of you guys.

How I do it is by renaming the file inside of the p36img.zip, and update it in bootloader. Now that I have made my own...when the splash screen comes up, it looks crazy and is upside down. I've also tried some other ways with programs that are made to flash..but I dont' know much about command prompts and it seems to never find or be able to open the picture.

I'm fully rooted and it's only by watching the video on rooting froyo that I was able to get rooted...before the new unrevoked!

Can Anyone help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
try this in fast boot

fastboot flash splash1 myplashscreen.rgb565

but replace the mysplashscreen with the name of your splash screen. pretty sure youll need the eng spl to use this fast boot command tho.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yungsonny2700:
Is it possible when you get time to explain the steps with the cmd prompts. And I also don't know what the eng spl is...I still have my Android sdk/tools folder that I downloaded when I did the long root..do I need to put the files or photo inside of that folder (sdk/tools) when I do the prompts?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
When you boot into hboot that, i'm pretty sure is your spl, if you rooted your phone you most likely don't have it, unless your running damageless or CM6 roms. and Eng spl allows you to do the fastboot commands I mentioned previously, it basically unlocks for phone about as far as it can go after you've rooted it.

Next when your in the tools folder of your sdk you can call commands like adb shell ... for the fastboot command or other it helps to have the files in your tools folder but it is not necessary so this fastboot flash splash1 myplashscreen.rgb565 would refer to a splash screen in your tools folder

fastboot flash splash1 ../myplashscreen.rgb565 this would look backwards one directory for the splash screen. and so on.

so if the splash screen was on your desktop something like this would work

fastboot flash splash1 ..\..\..\myplashscreen.rgb565

since I keep my sdk on my desktop which is in android\android_sdk\tools my commands says backup 3 dirs and look on the desktop for mysplashscreen.rgb565.

hope that helps...search this forum for the eng spl its a flashable update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yungsonny2700:
One more question...

First off I appreciate you for your time...means a lot...I'm running of two hours of sleep...lol went to bed at 4..woke up at six for work.

Ok...now do I need to convert my image to rgb565(if so, how) and do I need to save the photo in any specific format? Bit-depth?

Thanks again...if I have any issues then I'll be back!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASimmons:
yes you will it sounds like you were using the alternate method of flashing it through and img correct.

check this thread but this was for the hero and its how I've done it... I'm new to evo so there might be some difference in the file size since the resolution is not that same. but the conversion is the same. Basically get an splash screen from this forum and when you make your splash screen and convert it compair the size to the known good evo splash screen, they should be the exact same size, if so your good to flash. Don't for get the eng spl.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yungsonny2700:
Ok thanks my man...I'm going to try it out and get back..
