I got a Galaxy Tab (Verizon) 1 week ago.
I will be paying the restocking fee to return the darned thing and get out of my contract. I can't stand it.
The touch screen is inaccurate enough that I can't type with it, but the biggest problem is that it is clearly designed as a tracking device/ time waster. It's also extremely good at being a huge pig on data consumption.
It is hard wired to maximize the connections to Verizon and their products and services. I changed the default home page 3 times only to have it redirect it to Verizon each time, had huge amounts of spam and junk mail/ messages as soon as I opened the account, and have Verizon pop-up ads and redirects with almost everything I do, some of which use false scare tactics advertising like, "Warning, you've overrun your data plan. Sign up for this or that service to make sure it doesn't happen again" (It was untrue).
In rural South GA, the service is pitiful enough that most of my time is spent watching the stupid machine download. In 1 week it consumed 6 times the data I had ever consumed in an entire month on my Blackberry data plan.
I am paying for a service designed to maximize the data returned to Verizon and Google, and is only good at bringing me advertising. What an enormous time waster.
It also sucks at managing multiple emails accounts. Oh, and did I say how horrible the mobile browser format is both on the device and the default versions on most websites? Too simplistic to actually get anything done at all.
It's a play toy for wealthy people who care nothing about their privacy and don't give a E36 M3 about getting any work done. I want my mobile device to increase my mobility and efficiency in doing business, not suck the lifeblood out of me.
I will happily pay money to have it out of my life forever.
