What are the plus points for the Tab 10.1 over the Nexus 10?

Is it much cheaper?

You can get the note 10.1 for around £250

One shop is selling them for £318, however if you go to another and get them to price match it and buy a case for £12.99 you can get £80 cash back.

In other words, the note 10.1 is about £70 cheaper than the nexus 10.

Not sure if you specifically meant the Tab2, but there's a massive difference between the Note 10.1 (which this thread is about) and the Tab 10.1 2.

Just picked one of these up. It's better than I had hoped and the s pen is fun. Best thing is proper front facing stereo speakers. Every tablet should have this as it's daft not to (ala my Nexus 7 is ruined by one poxy speaker on the back)

Been using mine for a week now, and it really is an amazing piece of kit!.

I've bought an OTG USB thingy, extra cable, got screen protectors, a proper full-sized S-Pen (off MM here!) and a cheapo case off the bay. Case is atrocious though as it adds too much bulk (almost weighs as much as the tablet!).

Been eyeing up this case:

Any recommendations? Need something thats super slim and light and leaves ALL ports accessible (i.e. Infrared port).....

I've been thinking of getting me a Note 10.1, and seen as they are doing £50 cash back I think Ive finally decided....

Was also thinking of the Nexus 10 when it arrives, but lack of expandable storage puts me off....

So the JB version has been released for N8000 users in the UK now too (that's the 3G model). Still no love for us N8010 (wifi only) users yet though

It's a cracking piece of kit, my rig hasn't been fired up for more than 30 minutes in total in the last fortnight, i can do pretty much everything on the tablet.

The store that gives 80 quid back only does white though :[. Its really annoying that grey isnt available widely. The cool thing bout the department store that sells for 318 is its in grey and you can pick up at a waitrose shop(don't have a dept store in leeds)

Cant recommend the Samsung Galaxy Note Bookcover enough, just received mine today replacing the horrible £5 leather case I had before. In comparison this case gives the tablet the feeling there is no case on it whatsoever.

zoomee · 4 Dec 2012 at 17:27

Does it cover any of the ports or leave them free bud?
I.e. infrared port.

HUNTER.P · 4 Dec 2012 at 21:49

Everythings accessible/in view when the case is open. The earphone socket has a slit in the top so you can open and close the cover without having to unplug headphones. Pen is also easily taken out.

And unlike my other stupid cheap case you can close the cover when its charging. My old one didnt have a hole for the charger

LOL, thats exactly what my current cheapo case is like - no wonder it was only £6!

Ordered the official book cover and looking forward to getting it - damn thing feels so heavy with this crappy cheapo case!

Anyone wanting to give samsung a nudge for the JB update for the WIFI only model please post here

Anyone managed to print to anything other than a Samsung printer? Picked up one of these at the weekend and can't get it to play nicely with my HP wireless C4380. My HOX just works for this, would have thought this would too

Think the sammy printing software does say its just for samsung printers unfortunately mate

- Bit sad I know as I woulda loved to have been able to print to my networked Canon too.

Not sure if works on this but works fine on my N7 and S2.
