I missed out on purchasing the Galaxy Tab that I originally posted about, but I think I found a better deal for $245. The first one that I looked at was the Sprint model and had the advantage of the newer Android 2.3.4 firmware.

The one that I purchased after missing out on the initial deal is the Verizon version, which is still on 2.2. However, I did get the following with it:

1. Otterbox case
2. 32 gb micro sd card (the original one I looked at only had 16gb)
3. Car charger

Although I am on AT&T, I have considered switching to Verizon when my contract runs out. Even though I don't plan on getting 3g service right now (I have enough contracts!), I'd rather have a Verizon tablet than a Sprint one (can't see myself ever switching to them). Also, I heard that it is easier to bypass activation on the Verizon model (simple code) vs. the Sprint model.

So, even though I don't need another tablet, I am anxiously anticipating my early birthday present!
