Question about
fourblades

Since this has a phone function, should I even think of this as a phone replacement or not? It's huge for a phone but it's half the size of an iPad.

I could not imagine holding up a 7"+ device up to my head.

Well if you're in the US you're out of luck. Only European models will have the phone feature. Check out Engadget's post about it: www.engadget.com­/2010­/09­/16­/samsung­-galaxy­-tab­-los...

It is just so comically large as a phone. I would only use it that way if I had in my earbuds with the microphone. But then people would think I was talking to myself because no one expects to see a tablet acting as a phone.

It can't really be used as a handheld, but with either a bluetooth or the included wired headphone/mic it can be used as a phone. Apparently you can also use it as a speakerphone.

The Galaxy Tab actually does not have a phone function... But, with the Tango App, I'm able to make video calls from Florida where I live, to my cousin's iPhone 4 in NY, and vice-versa.
