Is there such a device?

[steveanderson1357]

Hi, hope some members can direct me if possible. I am looking for a single phone/data device and some provider which meets these criteria:

7" display
phone
android tablet
national coverage on a par with Verizon
unlimited data (I like to stream Pandora daily which can be about 10g/mo.
reasonable service rates ($50/mo)

I travel; I had a Droid; an android phone is fine except for the size; a Galaxy Tab is fine except for the no phone and service rates. Coverage is essential. Road Puck does not seem to have national coverage. Is there such a thing as personal, mobile, wi-fi? Are there any feasible combinations or is this a pipe dream for now?

It kind of would be weird of you were talking on a 7 inch tablet, dont you think? i doubt there is one out there nor will there ever be one....

Bluetooth has been out for many years which makes this perfectly feasible, actually preferable to non-bluetooth for me, even on a regular phone. And North America is one of the few markets WITHOUT a phone-enabled tab. XDA has hacked the euro rom onto GSM tabs but that wouldn't solve the data problem or pricing. But thanks for the reply.

Would importing to the US, and getting a SIM only plan be an option? No idea what the plans are like in the US, but you can get SIM only unlimited data plans as PAYG here for

I think I read that the new Dell "Streak (?)" had a phone. It runs android and is about the size of the galaxy.

From my understanding the European Galaxy Tab (GSM) has the ability to make calls and texts. If you order an Unlocked one from Europe you should (in-theory) be able to take it to AT&T and have them connect it.
