The Samsung developing team has created the Samsung Galaxy Tab, in order to create some competition among products.

And not only they created The Samsung Galaxy Tab, but they made 11 flavors for it, and you can check them out on the gsmarena website. However, not all of them are currently available for purchase, but even the ones that can be bought still offer a great deal of choices. And while some offer support for voice communication, just like any phone, things become even more interesting.

The international version, the Samsung Galaxy Tab p1000 is dual band (GSM with HSDPA), has a 7 inch screen, functions with Android 2.2 which can be upgraded, and can store up to 64GB of data -but 32GB will be on a microSD. This makes this tablet quite a really small laptop, which is more easy to carry around and even work on.There is also a CDMA version of this one.

But because there were mentioned 11 models, you need to know that there are also some with a bigger screen. The biggest screen installed on the Samsung Galaxy Tab is of 10.1 inches, and below is the image of one of them. This model has an internal storage of 64GB, but it lack the voice communication feature, thus acting much more like a laptop.

There are few models of the Tab with intermediary screen sizes like 8.9 inches. Now it's up to you to decide which one you like the best and go get it. It is very likely that you will have to also purchase a service from a provider in order to fully use the Tab.

If you want your Samsung Galaxy Tab to become a little bit more colorful, then you need to get a colorful protective case. A good choice might seem to be the cases made by the Scoche Industries' team of designers. This team is well known for making high quality products, better said accessories for all kinds of electronics. Therefore it is no surprise that they also considered to make a case for a very popular device such as the Samsung Galaxy S.

One of the colorful cases they made is the Scoche GloSEE purple one and the image above shows a Samsung Galaxy Tab wearing one. The case is specially designed to let the user have access to the phone's functions and ports, for charging and other tasks.

The case itself is made of flexible rubber, a type of material which will not accidentally scratch your Tab when putting it on or taking it off the device. If what you see is not very clear, then you need to know that the case itself if a little bit transparent, so you can see quite well the back of the tablet.

One of the places where you can buy it from is the costcentral website. here you have to pay $12 for one piece and there still are 6 of them left in stock, so you should hurry.

The nextwarehouse website also sell one of these, for $26. And there is the possibility of getting them in bulk, however the price for one unit is not much lower.  Another downside with this site is the delivery which happens after at least 5 days, up to 10 days, but at the very least is free of charge.

There still are places which sell this Scosche GloSEE purple case for the tablet made by Samsung, you only need to dig a little bit for it.

So you are in need for a new cell phone and after searching a little bit about various brands and models you decided you would want a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. However, you don't really know just how much you'd pay for it. In order to be able to pay for it, you need to first be living in the United States, and then to make sure you have coverage from the communication company selling it: T-Mobile. However, this doesn't have to be a very strong requirement because the two devices work under the GSM and under the HSDPA networks, so any GSM SIM card will work fine; it is a CDMA SIM card which will not work with this phone under any circumstance.

Currently if you are looking to buy the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, you have at least two options. One of them comes form the bestbuy website and the phones comes full prices, with no contract or plan whatsoever. The full price for this product is of $650, and this is the page where you can see it at.

The package contains the phone, its battery and the charger, the user's manual and a stereo headset.The page mentions that you will also receive a SIM card – which might require a minimum fee of $10 per month for web access – so you better read carefully before buying the phone.

Another shopping experience can be achieved right on the T-Mobile website, but here you get a refurbished cell phone. Getting a refurbished product is not as bad as getting a second hand one, but it can be as good a s getting a brand new one. On the provider's site, the phone goes for the special price of $350, down from $500. After you select the product and your area, you need to select which type of SIM card you want to get, an then you can check out, unless you also want some accessories as well. Be careful that everything you choose costs extra to the phone's price, they aren't included.

Removing apps from the phone should be the easiest thing to do, especially if you want to remove those installed by you. However, if you want to remove default apps, it might prove a little bit more difficult to achieve, because there is a reason for which those apps are installed “by default” onto the Samsung Galaxy S. The reason is that they are meant to help the device work as it should, as described.

For the Apps which you installed, the steps for uninstalling the apps, are these: on the home screen go to menu, then settings, then tap on the application icon and then select the one you wish to get rid of. The last action you need to take is to tap on the uninstall option and you're done!

However, you really want to get rid of the default ones, you first need to know you're not alone. For instance, the starter of this thread was in a search for the same thing. In order to remove the pre-installed apps, you need to gain root access to the phone's memory, which is quite a destructive action. The destruction can have two ends: it cancels the warranty period of the phone, and then it can render the cell phone completely useless, if you remove the wrong app.

The reason for which one might want to remove the factory apps might be to get more space for others or simply because they really don't fit with the person's tastes, but other reasons might still exist.

What you need to do before taking such a destructive action on your phone you definitely need to perform a backup of the data stored on the phone, just for security reasons. Also, if you still have the warranty active, you better wait until it expires, just so you make sure you will not need it for other repairs. 

If your next choice for a working device is a tablet, why not trying out the Samsung Galaxy Tab sold by T-Mobile? The T-Mobile sells the Samsung Galaxy Tab for the price $500, which is the retail price, and it doesn't even have a plan or anything included. Anything you want to get in order to actually use this Tab, other than battery and charger, you need to pay for.

This is not such a bad thing after all, because the tablet has WiFi internet connection, so if you already have that one, or you go in a public place where they offer it for free, you will not need a plan. However, if you are in a place without this possibility, then a plan or a pre-payed service will be needed in order for you to do what you need to do.

What you don't know, probably about this tablet from Samsung, made specially for T-Mobile, is that it has (or it offers) support for GSM voice communication, which means that you can use this Samsung Galaxy Tab as a mobile phone as well. And if you really want to use this feature, then you will definitely need the SIM card and the services it offers. 

If you are interested in this phone, you can check out this link in order to be able to make a purchase for it. You need however to live in an area where the GSM coverage is good, if you want the service to be provided by a different provider.

If you have a tether plan, on a different cell phone, you can even use that one in order to surf the internet, and what not. All in all, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is a good alternative if you want to replace both your phone and your laptop at the same time, and you might even realize that the phone and Internet bill is cheaper this way.
