The Galaxy Tab will NOT be running as a phone in the US: Samsung yanked out this option on all four carriers.

So far, this thing looks like a total loser to me. No voice means no Market, and it has a smaller, regular TFT, which is inferior to the IPS screen on the iPad.

Samsung also has crappy record with upgrades, so I wouldn't bet $600 that this will be upgraded to Gingerbread. Heck, they can't even get 2.2 out for the Galaxy S
