I got one.

I got the Tab 7.0 plus on Sat and it's now Thurs. I am loving every minute of it. Got it at BestBuy. I also got a Playbook case for it at Staples which fits it well... LOL! Only thing is the power button is half covered by one of the straps but not tightly so it's not a problem. It never pushes the power button down when I don't apply pressure so overall It's great and I leave the case on all the time. It's the Targus Leather Playbook case/stand. Other then that, all I can say is I highly recommend this tablet. The 7" form factor is perfect and this tablet is fast and reliable. Battery life is decent to good but not as great as I was expecting from the reviews. May have to tweak the settings some more. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. I mostly just surf around on it and read articles and stuff. Have tried video via youtube and that works without any problems. Screen is crisp. Evernote app is great. Honeycomb is awesome and touchwiz is not so bad. I heard it slows it down but I haven't noticed. This tablet is very slim and light and very portable. Overall I couldn't be happier! Also have the Acer A500 which is quite bigger and heavier but I love that too. They are completely different categories in my opinion cause of the size difference. The Acer should be getting ICS I read so hopefully this will too but either way I can't complain. Honeycomb 3.2 with touchwiz is fine by me. The micro SD slot will also come in handy when I start loading music, videos and games on it but for now I'm just taking it slow. Also the speakers are nice and loud too. Accelerometer is responsive and soon I will load nook app on it to read ebooks. Will let you all know how that goes. Again, highly recommended!
 
So close to pulling the trigger on this.. confounded by a refurb of the original 7 inch samsung tab over on one of the woots today at a good price.. 200 bucks extra is a lot of money.. Still...

Of course I have some amazon credits I could use :D Maybe today is the day I order it.

Wish I had but I missed out on being able to get it shipped here before next week so I am going to keep shopping round this weekend.

If Sam's club had them I would get it tonight since I have to go tonight anyhow...
 
:confused:Got it today and setting it up. Got gmail and Jorte calendar set up and synced.
I have some questions:
1. How do you view emails without the list pane showing up on the left?
2. How do you view web pages full screen in landscape mode?
3. Is there no charging indicator at all on charger, cord, or device except with the screen turned on? If I turn it off and put it on the charger, how do I know when it's charged? Seems like for the high price of this thing, there would be some indication.
 
I have noticed prices for this on Amazon are finally starting to go down now, after Christmas of course.

Have there been any reports of it being discounted that day? I have my doubts since its so new (is it even technically "out"?).

I really like it although the browser seems to be a tiny bit laggy at times.

I got one yesterday. Mainly for my wife and kids. But I do have to say it is a really nice device.
 
Love mine. Rooted it and now able to uninstall or freeze crappy bloatware. Pulse, media hub and other pre loaded social media and news feed rubbish. WiFi version only but i can use Skype for VOIP and video calls... also can tether it to my EVO 4G so i can use google maps/navigation and internet anywhere.
 
Had it on regular shipping with Amazon, due on the 30th... Had to call them this morning and get them to do next day... Bad case of the 'I can't wait -itis'...
