I can't find the option for voice calls over GSM network... on the video you see the guy making a call but that seems to be a different reality.. can anyone tell me what is going on? is there a 3rd party app that can help me with the calls?.. thanks!

Well, it seems the 8.9 3G is lack of voice calling? Could anyone confirm this?

It is really stupid Samsung is removing microSD slot on both 10.1 and 8.9. I am keeping my Tab 7 since it has everuthing but Honeycomb, but what I am missing?.

Ive been waiting a long time for tbis tablet but now i have to pass as the limited codec support is a deal breaker. I have the galaxy s2 and would not be able to live with a tablet that is inferior. Samsung please do not keep me waiting long for this tablet with your own SOC.

So can you confirm it does have Tegra2 istead of Samsung's own Exynos (much better) SoC?
That means HD 720p movie playback capability (I couldn't care less about 1080p) is screwed once again, and we all can thank nVidia Tegra2 platform (Tegra3 will remedy this).
HD means H.264 most of the time (95% of time), and internet HD 720p clips/movies/streams are mostly encoded in high profile, which Tegra2 doesn't support (only standard main/baseligne profile).
So if you happen to have 4-10TB collection of movies like most of the "multimedia-playback-device-seeking people", you're screwed once again! With Moto Xoom/Acer Iconia/Asus Transformer you're in deep "$$""% as well.
And no, CPU will not handle the task, if there's no GPU codec suport. It is simply too weak (hell, even dual core ATOM, 4 times as powerful as current A8, is too weak to decode H.264 properly).
note. old Samsung Galaxy Tab 7inch doesn't have a problem there (due to proper GPU) as well as new Samsung Galaxy II phone with exynos chipset. Will handle even 1080p .mkvs with breeze!

Ewan, 10 Jun 2011Why does the appearence and interface Samsung need to look ... moreWhy would they change it? The looks of the iPad and iPhone work, that's been proven more than enough...
