[AnDyLe0]

Siao liao.. My tab cannot power up. Press power button long time nv show me anything. I tot is battery empty, so I plugged in the charger and it show the battery wif the clock and stuck there. No charging movement at all. Wat is the problem? Samsung service center is my last resort Liao.

have u tried soft reset, hard reset and recovery menu?
try holding the power button for more than 10 sec and power up again.

Anyone use this as mobile phone ? kind of a hassle to carry around ?

or kinda "stupid" to use a a normal mobile phone ?

use BT headset.
I don't use it as a phone..as I have a S2..
But the battery life is unbeatable for this.. easily 24 hours even with heavy duty usage.

I am using it as a phone. Most of the time I use a bluetooth headset (LG-HBS700 This will vibrate when there is an incoming call, plus can listen to music/podcast from Tab) I usually leave the Tab in a sling bag.

Sometimes I just hold the tab to my head and use as a phone, you'll get use to it after a while

Can't beat the battery life!

i have tried and the call and loudspeaker are good.
it's a "real" 3G phone that is able to make 3G Video Call... even better than some smartphones

i think audio quality not that good.

Got it from amazon.com, couldn't find in Singapore. Paid US$54 + US$14.90 shipping. Total: US$68.90 I think it's US$49 at amazon now.

Normal BT range. About 10M I think. Walk away from desk short distance is ok, go toilet probably will lose signal. It'll reconnect when you come back
