Just saw the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v (the "fat" one) in "The Phone House" in Augsburg.
They only had one available, linked to a Vodafone contract.
I don't want to have another contract, so I had to pass (for today)...
The battery was dead, so I couldn't check out the display.
But the form factor is phantastic.
The 10.1v has about 3mm more "thickness" than the 10.1, but it has a better camera (8MP vs. 3.2MP I think). I don't care about the camera. But I've read, the thinner 10.1 would be somewhat "flimsy".
So I'm tempted to go for the 10.1v instead. Although it's 3mm more, it still seems "leaner" than Xoom. And it felt just right in my hand...
