Customer Review

The review refers to the 3G (Telephony version) of the Galaxy Tab 7 (NOTE: the version without 3G will also be a hardware "light" version, so think carefully ...). This part is my first impression, the review will thus grow with the use of Tabs ...

Who needs this world a TAB? Who is honest, probably "no" must respond. The question whether there was now must be a mobile phone is slightly more difficult. Well nobody wants to give up his cell phone in 2011. Here is where the idea of ​​Samsung with the 3G version of the Galaxy Tab 7 inches - a combination of (oversized) mobile and Tab.

I am really after long resistance but kinked. The part is here ... First impression: is great in the hand - not too big (paperback), not too difficult - is really smart and also processed valent ("made" the way in "Korea", not "China" at Foxconn ...). No, I do not miss the aluminum of an iPad. Already the first few minutes are fun and make it clear that Samsung is the balancing act between Tab and mobile succeeded.

The operation of the Galaxy Tabs is intuitive. By some specific questions, one is led quickly to the first use of tabs. Well done Samsung! The screen is great, crisp and colorful. Even as a rookie Tab works working with the apps easily. Some (Internet, Youtube, Email, Google Maps) are already on the Home screen (of which there are several, it is possible to navigate easily between them back and forth) ready. An adjustment is quick and easy: press and hold, then just drag the trash. Tighten and wipe (to enlarge, for example web pages) works very pleasant. Overall, quite a few apps are pre-installed (also a small office solution); one of them leads to the App Store, where countless other apps waiting (gate alarm for the Bundesliga for example quickly found ...). The argument in Apple there'd thereof but more, is not conclusive for me. Some things you need just not a hundred thousand different, but one or two that work. From my perspective: too many Apps = certainly more confusing and not an advantage.

So much for first impressions. Have become in a very short time to Tab-Fan. In addition, I am sure the correct device for the sofa (WiFi works fine! = Bundesliga Radio, emails, short Google search, Youtube) to have found. Simply because of the appropriate size (yes, it fits really well in your pocket ...) and the low weight. That's why (and also due to the telephony function, currently only the GT7) offers me the Swiss army knife is among the tabs now to accompany the move (Google Maps says hello).

Let's see what (positive) still holds surprises of GT for me. Sequel follows.

PS: writing this way, on my iMac (what a device ...); I neither Apple nor Samsung preferences, but simply like innovative technology that works well.

The details ...

Phone calls and TEXTING the GT
---------------------------------------------
Of course no one is using the GT on the ear in the area to walk around (unless you like Hagrid looks from Harry Potter, which should really "ugly" look). That will probably also do no one, because it is simply unbeatable practical to have the part just lie next to him and to make calls via the speakerphone. This is really fun and has the call for my taste a bit revolutionized. That this is so much fun is, ultimately, to a good voice quality.
Is matched by a great management for phone contacts, where you can also organize very good groups (for example for a round-SMS). Texting is also working fine. The SMS correspondences are represented as colorful speech, so that the call flow can be well understood.

UPDATE I - APPS
---------------------------------------------
That makes everything so much fun! It is already clear how practical it is, short messages to read about the Tab (or see), to check mails (easy with Gmail), or to follow the Bundesliga. The PC will not be forthcoming in the future for smaller activities so ...

So that everything goes, I flucks following apps (from Android Market; more needs really nobody ...) installed:

- Wiki Encyclopedia (free, 7 inches, the App of Wikipedia; the alternative to call the page via the browser)

- The THINK-FREE app is preinstalled. Small Office package (Microsoft-oriented), which is perfectly adequate. Good solution: the function to send the document directly online.
- PDF Reader from Adobe (free, adjusted to 7 inches)
- PicSay (free, 7 inches, funny photo editing with comic effects, in conjunction with Funcard (see below) of good use!)

SURFING & EMAIL

- The Dolphin browser (free, adjusted to 7 inches; fast - comfortable (bookmark management is good) - clears the cache and history after surfing)
- The Hotmail app (for free, adapted to 7 inches; still have a Hotmail account, that is the right app to do so; good complement to Gmail)

Fits also somehow pure:
- Post mobile (free, 7-inch monitor, broadcast online, look Porto, buy e-Porto; practically)
- (Can be prepared and sent by the mail, free of charge, 7 inches, easily create postcards from snapshots of the post; regardless of where not cheap, but cool ....) Funcard

EFFICIENCY
- Juice Defender (free; is supposed to (a lot of good reviews), the battery life significantly (extend, with me still no long-term results ...)?
- 3G Watchdog (for free, for the Internet operation with Sim Card Because despite Datenflat often after a certain amount of data (T-Mobile 300MB) the speed is throttled, the watchdog is worth so you always have an overview of how much of the.. amount of data has already been used (adjustable: time (eg month of ... to ... as well as the amount of data)
- SMS Counter (free, 7 inches; so keep your SMS quota in the eye)
- SMS Popup (free, 7-inch, with immediate notification display for SMS)

- Who Becomes Rich (free, adjusted to 7 inches, "Millionaire"

All game apps you can find in the App Store. All have a strong computer opponent. Somehow nice pastime ...

other entertainment activities
- Audbile app (for free, adapted to 7 inches, you need an Audible account, but then has access to all the audio books in your own library)
- Kindle (for free, adapted to 7 inches, 7 inches = paperback size = makes the GT a full EBook reader; well, that there are countless Amazon free classic for Kindle)

NAVIGATION
- Navigon (free for T-Mobile customers, top-navigation app; leaves no wish unfulfilled)
- Google Earth (free, adjusted to 7 inches; the TOP app eg for holidays, it becomes clear what is able to do the Super GT representation.!)

What NOT to Do's Tab:
- The Facebook app (Scandal Facebook continues here Before you install an app specifies which access rights requires this on Facebook: outrageously Missing only unlimited access to my savings account. ....!)

GENERAL to the Apps:
- All apps mentioned above can be found in the App Store.
- Deletion itself is easily installed apps. The prescribed of Samsung I get (partly unnecessarily) not deleted ... BUT: you can, but you need root privileges; thus need not be.
- The app can also be all played at an SD card (maybe important for installation); it's a free app, App 2 SD ("free" vote, so the free version)

As I said above, that makes real mood. In addition, I am glad to have opted for the more expensive version with telephony function. Internet through the service of T-Mobile works equally well. So one must not give up the comforts of the GTs on the road.

UPDATE II - CONNECTIONS
---------------------------------------------
This is generally quite thin, at the size but also understandable.

- USB: My MAC recognizes the TAB immediately as a mass storage (who would have thought that the two understand so well ...), MP3, etc. can therefore be easily transferred.
- This not a double-cable buy (well resolved: the charging cable is provided with a handle to the data cable)
- Bluetooth: as above; immediately recognized, fast data exchange without cable clutter

- HDMI's about the addition to acquiring docking station that also priced reasonably tolerable remains Thanks to Amazon; work on your home TV without any problems; Representation like the tabs of the screen (just larger)
- A connection (like also any docking option) to connect to a projector (HDMI seems still rare) I really miss. ADDENDUM ... There are transducers that convert HDMI to VGA (ie digital to analog), cost: around 40 euros; I tested is not the but.

UPDATE III - HANDLING WIFI, Bluetooth, GPS, etc.
---------------------------------------------
In addition to the adjustment of the known "setting", there are some very successful: Just at the top of the screen pull down a bit and even shut down a menu,
in which exactly one above the setting or to turn off. That's good, because the purpose of maximizing the battery, it makes sense to use these features sparingly.

As I said before, WIFI rather draws battery (but that's always the case, and thus no real fracture). To be still einformiert on incoming mail, WIFI is made, for the GT (ie via Internet's phone) runs in the "3G" mode. The gnawing only minimally on data quota (if you do not have a right flat rate for data) and is always quick enough for the purpose. To "correct" Surfing is then simply switched on WIFI.

UPDATE IV - ACCESSORIES
---------------------------------------------
- Car charger (useful for Navifunktion), various providers
- Mumbi Protector Case made of silicone (good protection at a low price, the chic look of the GT is maintained, because the back is transparent, but looks for "installation" but a little different than the manufacturer specified (recess at the location of the antenna )
- IGadgitz Neoprene (very good protection with foam filling, slightly larger, but the GT fits with Mumbi-shell (I use the way permanently) in; no additional bag for the charging cable (which is not compatible with my idea of ​​mobility ; would not charge cable lug around with me)
- The already mentioned docking station (in my view a question of price and the use (on TV or not); see my review appropriate?.

Who this review is not sufficient as a decision aid, should look again here: [...]
A really well done site, which gives a good impression about the functions of the tabs. Worth it in my view even after the purchase yet, as the accompanying Quick Start Guide Although
sufficient (as the name implies), but are just not deeper insights.
