Price Of T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Tab Dropped

This has been a season of discounts for those looking for a Galaxy Tab. Afte Verizon, Sprint and US Cellular dropped the price of the Galaxy Tab on their network, T-Mobile has now announced a massive price drop of the Galaxy Tab on their cellular network. Starting today, the Galaxy Tab on T-Mobile will cost $249.99. While this is just $50 lower than the most recent price of the tablet on their network, this is still a massive drop from the originally retailing price.

It will be worth noting that Sprint had announced earlier this month their decision to slash the price of the Galaxy Tab on their carrier to $299 – with a two year contract. Also, Verizon had announced a $100 price drop at the beginning of the year. With a barrage of Android tablets including Xoom launching in the market, carriers are clearly looking at clearing their Galaxy Tab stocks to prepare themselves for these new launches. It will be interesting to see what Samsung comes up with in order to keep their momentum going.

Sprint Galaxy Tab Price Dropped Ahead Of New Launches

Samsung had announced during the Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas earlier this month that a Wi-Fi only variant of the Galaxy Tab shall be launched shortly. In addition to this, we have also heard recently that a 4G-variant of the Samsung Galaxy Tab should be launching in the next few weeks. Perhaps in a bid to deplete existing inventory before these new product launches, Sprint has announced a massive price cut on their existing Galaxy Tab line that could help the carrier sell their stocks soon.

Starting now, the Samsung Galaxy Tab on Sprint will be available at just $299 with a two year contract. If you are one of those looking to buy the device without a contract, you can do so at a price of $499. Interestingly, that is the price of ‘subsidized‘ Galaxy Tab at many other channels, including those at Verizon. Of course, you can wait and buy a more updated new hardware at a higher price. But if the entry level Galaxy Tab is something you are happy with, this discounted price should be ideal.

According to these sources, Verizon would not just be dropping the price of the Galaxy Tab from $599 to $499, but will also drop in an additional $60 worth of free movie rentals with these purchases.

It is not clear when these announcements are due. The sources claim that the $100 discount offer will also apply to customers who have made a Galaxy Tab purchase in the past 14 days. With the holiday shopping season now over, most of the customers must now be done with their seasonal shopping.  In any case, this is a pretty attractive deal and we look forward to an official announcement.

More Cheap Galaxy Tabs – On US Cellular At $200

Just when you thought a $50 drop in the price of the Galaxy Tab from T-Mobile was wonderful enough comes yet another attractive offer – this time from US Ceullar. The carrier has announced a new offer that will let customers buy a new Galaxy Tab at a price of $199.99 – that’s $200 lower than the retail price.

This offer comes with a catch though. Customers will be required to sign a two year contract and are required to sign up for the pricey 5GB per month plan. That would mean you will be shelling out either $54.99 per month for a PAYG messaging service or $74.99 for the all-you-can message plan. If you are someone who expects to consume a lot of data on your tablet, this deal could be a pretty useful.

Buy Samsung Galaxy Tab On AT&T At $650 Sans Contract

As noted earlier this month, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is now available for purchase from the AT&T stores starting this week. The device can be purchased at a whopping price of $649.99 though this comes without a contract. But without a data plan to go with this, the device is only as good as a Wi-Fi only device that really is not something you should go for considering that the iPad is available at close to $150 less.

Users looking to sign up for a data plan will need to shell out $14.99 per month for 250MB of data or $25 a month for a 2GB data limit. These are not exactly user friendly pricing figures and so I really don’t think many customers will be interested.

But in case you do not want to miss out on a Galaxy Tab, check out the alternate pricing plans from rivals in our slideshow here.

US Cellular Samsung Galaxy Tab Pricing & Launch Date Announced

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is now available on almost all the major carriers in the United States. Now, US Cellular becomes the latest network carrier to announce a Galaxy Tab on their network. According to a press release, the new Android tablet will be available on the carrier starting November 19.

The carrier has taken a distinct route compared to carriers when it comes to pricing and contractual obligations though. Unlike what is offered on the bigger rivals, US Cellular has revealed that users purchasing a Tab from their network will have to be tied to a two year contract. But the company also points out that this will be just for a two year period and users will be free to choose to migrate to another network post that.

The pricing also reflects the alternate path chosen by the company. The Galaxy Tab will be available at a subsidized cost of $399 and can sign to one of the data plans on offer starting at $14.99 a month for 200MB of data to the $54.99 a month plan that doles out 5GB of data.

Interested? Get ready to purchase the tablet on the 19th.

Samsung Galaxy Tab On AT&T – Pricing And Launch Date Revealed

The Samsung Galaxy Tab has already launched on T-Mobile and Verizon in the United States and it is just a matter of time before it launches on AT&T as well. According to leaked reports, this is expected to happen in less than ten days from now – on November 21. The report however makes an interesting revelation that the Galaxy Tab could actually be priced higher than the entry-level iPad.

If you are an AT&T user looking to purchase a Galaxy Tab, you may have to shell out $649.99 for a contract-free subscription. Buying a device at this price will also mean you will have to spend close to $14.99 per month for a 250MB data connection or $25 for a 2GB connection. There is no word on whether there will be a subsidized offering with contracts. Nevertheless, the Galaxy Tab is priced $20 more than the entry level 3G-enabled iPad and that could make this a deal breaker for many.
