I've had my Galaxy Tab for about two weeks now and I have to say that I am really happy with it. It has become my go to device for casual web browsing and information and I do take it with me just about everywhere I go. With that being said, there are a few things I wish were a little different about the device. I love it but hey, nothing is perfect, right? It should be noted that I am in the US and have ATT. Somethings change from carrier to carrier.
1. Camera--I'm surprised they only put a 3.2 megapixel camera in this when some of the Galaxy S phones and other newer devices that are considerably smaller have 5mp and above. 5 would be a minimum and 8 would be ideal.
2. More memory. I have the ATT tab that has 16gb internal and of course you can add up to 32gb with the micro sd but I woudl have lovd for 32 internal. Some applications can't be moved to the SD card (haven't rooted my device) and they take up some space.
3. NO PHONE--this is sort of a big issue for me and it sort of isn't. Obviously I have a primary cell phone that I wouldn't give up anyway but it would be nice to have the option. Plus, with everything being so integrated with Google Maps and Navigation, not having the ability to call your destination is sort of a downer. I know there are rumors that TMobile in the US will soon be allowing the phone function but I don't know how true these rumors are and if that will carry over from provider to provider.
4. MY ATT device, in my very limited ability, seems to be unrootable. It will not allow ANY application that isn't from the Android Marketplace so I can't download any .apk files such as Z4Root and run them. Some people can change their security settings (on different provider) but I cannot seem to do this. I'm sure I could do something with the Android SDK but I honestly don't know enough to do this and don't want to harm the device.
5. Can't close the browser. I can't close the browser without going into my Application manager and pressing the "end" button.
Those are most of my little things I wish could be change. Overall I'm thrilled with the device but of course, just wish for a little more.
What about YOU? What would YOU change?

That is modded of course, since out of box, it is nowhere near as good.
