Bad: Problem with Polaris Office
Comment: Sorry, I have just bought the galaxy tab 8.9 and have been trying to properly work with Polaris office... it's been very unstable.. out of a 200 pages word document, sometime only 90 pages were loaded, sometime even less... my powerpoint slides most often weren't saved after i clicked the save button...!! unless there is some specific defect with the software being installed in my machine i cannot recommend anyone purchasing this tablet to do professional work in the train, plane etc honestly i have been very disappointed and annoyed and i'm just wondering whether i should try getting it fixed or what... am i the only one having experience this? Many thanks

Good: Size, Apps, Battery life, camera, fast bluetooth, good internet browsers
Bad: I can't stop using it
Comment: The best size for a tab on the go,anything bigger is only really suitable for indoors.
Lots of good apps and a good android community for helping each other.
I've not stopped using mine since I purchased it 4 months ago.Anyone that gets one,with be happy with it.

Good: Very portable. 3G as standard. Easily expandable memory with MicroSD. Endless great apps, the majority of which are free.
Bad: Not a lot for what it is.
Comment: The size is an advantage and disadvantage. A bigger screen would be great but then the whole thing would be less portable. It's great having 3G as well as WiFi as standard. It makes a very good, go anywhere web-browser, GPS , phone etc.. Recommended

Good: Screen size and portability
Bad: Nothing that I can see so far
Comment: Having tested the iPad and the Samsung Tab I can honestly say the Samsung has the edge. Admittedly the iPad has the edge on screen size but, that aside, The tab has everything I want. Besides, the iPad won't fit in my pocket and can't be used as a phone. For me it's a no-brainer.

Good: It fits in your pocket (unlike the iPad), battery life is decent, Lots of apps, phone functionality, upgradeable memory.
Bad: not much
Comment: I've been using mine for a month or so now, and It's a constant companion.
Music, video, internet, phone, it does it all well.
It handles Skype better than my PC,
Well worth having.

Good: good battery life, screen size, phone call capability, screen size, size & weight, did I mention screen size?!
Bad: not much... the phone only works on speakerphone, speakers on the bottom and mic top side....why? I just the in-call volume down, turn it upside down and hold it to my ear anyway
Comment: Finally a mobile phone that's just the right size! Well I have big hands and pockets and a busy schedule so I've always craved a bigger screen on my smartphones to actually see what I'm doing, ever since I left my old xda II, which was still on the small side.
I have no idea what people are talking about when they say the Dell Streak is too big to be a phone - I think it's too small! The Samsung Galaxy Tab is the perfect sized smartphone!
It fits in a baggy jeans pocket and in the back pocket of a cycle jersey. Oh and there's a dedicated bicycle handlebar mount from Ultimate addons!
My Samsung Nexus S is lovely but now it's hidden in a drawer because the Samsung Galaxy Tab is just as smooth but you can actually see what you're doing properly! I may even be able to live without carrying my netbook everywhere as well...not sure but I've been a week without it so far so good...
And for the future I really, really hope that Android 3 Honeycomb also comes with phone call & SMS messaging functionality (and I don't mean VOIP, I mean real phone calls). I trust that hardware manufacturers will continue to fill this gap in the market for decent sized smartphones like the Galaxy Tab.
