Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0)

I am using Samsung galaxy tab 2 and would say that its just amazing tab with excellent features like Enhanced Security For Greater Flexibility,7-inch PLS TFT LCD WSVGA display (1024x600),16GB of internal storage expandable upto 32GB via microSD,Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0 and USB 2.0.,Android 4.1 and many more.

It is best phone for business purpose having features like Optimised Email Experience,Attend Meetings On The Move, Unlimited Web Browsing Options.

There is no way a tablet will ever replace my desktop or even laptop for work, but for reading and playing games as well as internet access, it's great. The 7 inch size is convenient for carrying around and it's pretty sturdy. I keep mine in a cover, but have dropped it several times with no ill effects.

We got my son an off-brand tablet for $80 and it is a waste. The Samsung works like a charm with Amazon for books and Google Play store for games.

The only problem I've had is sometimes when the battery is low, it won't come back on until it is fully charged.

Bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and the service was amazing. No one had any in stock and you guys did. My son is a very happy boy! Only slight quibble was it arrived and was set to Japanese settings and ended up with an hour or so going through Google to try and re-set to English. Got there in the end as had another Internet tablet available. Would be an absolute nightmare if bought for someone who didn't have other Internet device or someone who didn't realise they could research on google to fix. Might be an idea guys to factory set at your end :)

Saying that, you guys done great!

I have given it a five star rating because it has ended up being better than I had either hoped or expected.

Why this and not some other tablet?

I have been wanting something in the this size range for quite some time. A smartphone just does not have enough screen real estate and a netbook or a 10.1 inch tablet is too bulky to carry around in a pocket.

A dealbreaker for me was the SD slot, if it didn't have one then I was not going to buy the device, so scratch the Google Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire.

It comes with Android 4 which again was a prerequisite which I placed on buying a device of this kind - and this again eliminated a number of other tablets from my consideration.

I was going to have to make some trade-offs for the price, mine cost £169 at PCWorld, so I was expecting it to be a bit sluggish. Pleasant surprise number one, it is NOT sluggish. I was not expecting the screen to be all that great, but again I was pleasantly surprised that the screen looks nice. I was concerned about the WiFi connectivity, but again that is solid and I can move around the entire apartment and have no problems.

I bought a BELKIN F8M386cwC00 Samsung Tab 2 7" Folio Stand cover for it which I am very happy with, both from its quality and its utility.

I got lucky on EBAY and managed to get two 32 GB class 10 micro SDHC cards for £18 each (including delivery) and they perform according to spec - another pleasant experience.

I also found a YouTube site where they do drop tests on various devices and the Samsung came through with flying colours - which again was a major plus for me.

At the end of the day, with all the differences in price, screen resolution etc. it can be confusing. My way out of this kind of dilemma is to say to myself, "What's the dealbreaker, what does it HAVE to have".

In my case it was a micro SDHC slot and Skype. The Kindle would thus be out of contention even if it did offer an SDHC slot.

I did not want to be bound to a propriety OS and thus Android was my choice.

I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for it either.

To the person reading this, your mileage may vary, but for the price I think this is the best compromise between a phone for portability and a ten inch tablet for readability that you will find out there at present.
