What particularly annoyed me the old Tab: The keyboard had to be always changed to enter numbers or the @ sign. So the letter - to number mode. In the long winded. The Samsung has now made better. The new keyboard has both the @ sign with it, and the .com, as well as the Galaxy Note digits. This simplifies the matter but very write the SMS. Oh yes: SMS.
With the old I was able to write SMS messages, but not send. I have three T-Mobile maps, normal and two multi-Sim for other phones.
Through a telephone code you can activate the Multi Sim for SMS. Unfortunately, you could not install the corresponding program on the tab, but only on cell phones. Thus, SMS was for me from the old tab. Always change the SIM card, who does that. In the long run annoying.
The new Tab 2 10.1 has now even a phone function, and you can make calls. Since it is recognized as a mobile phone and not as a tab, and the Multi Sim can now install manager to activate the SMS function. Or you can enter it using the integrated telephone keypad. Super. Finally send SMS via the Tab. Better to write and read on the big screen than on the phone anyway. However, could not understand me well, the interlocutors with telephone calls. Was choppy. Here with us and the reception is not particularly. One would have possibly. Again with headset and test in other environments.
As it is now called (paid by the Galaxy Note) Even the calendar or S Planner has become clearer. In addition to day and week and month view can be activated a Year. Super !!! The week number can be faded. For me useful because our work plans are sorted by weeks.
Also, the MP3 player, which also is the name now (early music) has become clearer. Music sounds better than the old tab. The built-in speakers sound very good and are loud enough. Even bass can begin to develop.
Particularly pleasing, as was the case the old Tab: A small arrow at the bottom above the Samsung logo can pop up more programs that are helpful: Alarm, Email, MP3 player, messages (SMS), Calculator, S Planner, or Calendar, Task Manager, telephone and world clock are predefined and can edit, delete, or replace them with others also. Especially the Task Manager is useful because you can not close apparent ongoing background programs about the unnecessary cost of energy and battery.
I have the tab now a week in operation, the battery is still at runf 40%. Super performance.
There also something to complain about? Yes, no device is perfect. So the Samsung too short charging / data cable has unfortunately again settled, which is just enough off the floor to the desk. Here would have been very helpful but 50cm longer.
A function was unfortunately omitted that I miss: Stay awake. So the screen when Tab old was not turned off when you had the tab on the connector. This feature was omitted. Small Wermutstropefen. Some apps do not run on ICS 4 unfortunately. Will probably improved.
Conclusion: Super Tab with super performance, almost perfect Bediemung, good sound and Super Apps. The small downside are bearable. I do not regret the purchase. Super companion.
PS WhatsApp Messenger also works, although this is not suitable for tabs easily.
Addendum 28.08.2012: Yesterday an update came on Andoid 4.0.4 - since the Israeli Tab become a lot faster: Faster loading the Task Manager, the Internet, apps. Less to no more jolting in applications. Class!
Addendum 25.03.2013: For all Paragraphenreiter I have made a change of name. Of course there is no Galaxy Tab 10.2, but which is actually popularly known as.
How to get upset about it ?! Well. Now agree the terms.
