turbotank · 11-27-2010, 02:25 PM

i was wondering if i can buy one of these and use the everything shared family 1500 im on for it? just add another line to it? i dont see why that would be a big deal really. if not i dont see many of these selling espically with a capped data setup

update:

talked to sprint and you cant add a line to any other data plan. you have to get one of the 2 tablet plans. sucks

Yea it makes no sense. Samsung did a stupid thing by disabling the voice call function on these tablets (in the US).

For a while I considered buying a Samsung Tab to use as a tablet + phone (using bluetooth headsets). But once I found out they disabled the phone portion, I dropped the idea altogether.

I'll just stick to my Evo thank you very much. Not going to waste money on crippled devices that require 2 year contracts to do less than what my Evo can do.

can't you buy the tab, but not activate it and just pay $30 for the tethering option for your evo, and not pay for one of these plans?

Which is the reason I purchased a preowned iPad ($350.00 32gb) instead. I don't want to be locked in for 2 years on a data plan I don't ever plan to use as I have an EVO and could simply tether off of that. But NOOOO, Sprint got greedy and decided that's how they'd bank on this item ($399.95[$319.00 for corporate accounts] for the Tab and then $718.80 + tax for two years of 2gb service) which would end up costing $1118.75 + tax. No thanks, all I pay is for what I purchased the unit and I'm done. I only need it to keep me and my daughter entertained on plane trips with movies and games so I won't be doing too much with it. Sprint had me at the cost of the unit, but then lost me at forcing me to get a data plan, which is not discounted whatsoever for regular or corporate accounts. *****!

**ajac** · 11-27-2010, 11:18 PM

Yes , they are. $500 and should be released by Christmas. Rumor is they are ready to go but are holding them back as a favor to the carriers to let them cash in on early adopters signing contracts. Still overpriced IMHO. I hate Apple but the iPad sounds like a better deal for the same money.

Yes you can just buy it without any data plans. I did, but it was a bit salty. without any plan. $649. And you should be able to use the Hot Spot option on your EVO. I plan on doing just that, but haven't got around to it yet.

Only the GSM (T-Mobile/at&t) versions can be hacked for such a feature.

Rasta · 11-29-2010, 01:18 PM

I bought one on Friday paying full price, with no tablet plan. I added the 29.99 hot spot feature on my EVO and all works great. The nice thing about he hot spot feature is it requires no contract and can be removed at any time. just my .02.
